I have a single sink with attached garbage disposal. the dishwasher is
connected directly and it all works correctly and there is no drainage
problems. I do how ever have backup from my laundry room washer some
twenty feet away.

Do I need to add something to the trap or in-line with the plumbing.

Thanks

If what you're saying is the washer is backing up into
the kitchen sink, then you have an obstruction in the line
further down from both the washer and the kitchen sink.
The washer puts enough volume in there, it can't get
through, so it backs up. That is the most likely source
of the problem.

What happens if you fill the sink with water and let it
all go at once? Drains slower than it should?

That is my situation. Every once in a while I send a bladder down the
cleanout well past both the laundry and the kitchen and blast away.

I'd be curious if the drain line is pitched enough - towards the
drain?

The GD instructions mention to pitch the P-trap / line...
