everytime I flush the toilet, water from the basin squits up at least a
foot from the drain in the basin sink. the toilet and basin sink are new
and installed about six months ago but this problem just happened. I have
a vessel sink, and I don"t know if this has anything todo with it or not.
please help, I have to keep my sink drain covered with a towel to keep
mywalls dry. thank you.

Are you sure it's a sink and not a bidet?

Was the correct drain tail pipe installed? Vessel sinks have a
different pipe than normal sinks -- in my case.

A partial blockage in the sewer line might cause this situation. Depending
on the layout of the plumbing, the sudden influx of water from the toilet
can cause an air bubble to radiate backwards from the partial blockage and
force water up and out of a nearby trap.

I've had roots in my sewer line that caused a partial blockage. When the
2nd floor toilet was flushed, the basement toilet (the closest trap to the
outgoing sewer pipe) would gurgle and spit water. It was not a pleasant
experience to be sitting on the toilet when this occurred.

As soon as the sewer pipe was snaked, the gurgling and spitting stopped.

It's a bidet, not a drinking fountain!

It is a type of sink. It looks like a bowl sitting on a cabinet rather
than imbedded in the cabinet.
Google it for pictures.

A vessel sink is one of those new fancy-dancy sinks that sit on top of a
vanity or shelf.

Plus a vessel sink does not have a sink overflow drain - like
traditional sinks. They require a different drain tail pipe to the
P-trap.

It's long, lightweight, and has a good drain stopper. That's so that if
your house is flooded, you can use the sink as a rowboat :-)

Just curious...

What's different about the tail pipe? Obviously there are specific gaskets
and connectors for the specific sink being installed, but isn't a tail pipe
a tail pipe?

The tail pipe has no holes that allow air in as with a typical sink
for an overflow drain. The pipe is solid in nature (my case)

--begin quote

Overflow versus no Overflow

A traditional sink comes with a secondary drain for overflow purposes.
If you have ever looked inside the upper lip of the sink or around the
edges, you might have seen a small hole in the ceramic or other
material. This hole is the secondary drain through which water can
leave the sink if the level rises to that point. A vessel sink does
not usually have this hole, because it is not installed all the way
under the counter. Because of this, vessel sinks do not require a
drain with an overflow. You should always purchase a drain made
specifically for a vessel sink that does not have an overflow.

I think you hit on the gist of it for her. The
flush rate of newer toilets can suck some drain
traps dry especially if changing to small pipe
sizes at the trap. I think the sudden inrush of
water from the toilet is making her problem
happen. What got flushed down the toilet to
obstruct the line? Name your favorite.

It's such a dumb fad it's still single.

Really, they are dumb. Hard to clean and bathrooms don't mix, in my
