I have the same problem. Since we preprinted dishes its not grease buildup.
We have a septic tank so all plumbing in in basement ceiling. It is definitely
the detergent. We have been using the hell packs but will be going back to

detergent. It filled the pipe with a sandy substance, which I assume are the
filler materials added to the detergent


A lot of that doesn't make sense. If you have sandy deposits your drain isn't draining well enough. I'd check the machine outlet is running freely & check the waste plumbing flow & layout.
