Any solutions for this? The sink drains well when I fill it up to drain.

Check your washer overflow near the faucet controls. Sometimes a piece of food gets caught in there.

Got a clog in the line somewhere. Snake it, but don't use motorized snake. You can really mess up stuff w/ a power snake if you're not a pro.

Main drain is stopped up or really slow.

A washing machine pumps water out really fast and will cause toilets/tubs/sinks to fill up when there is stoppage.

Could also be city water lines overloaded with flooding.

Pretty sure storm drains and sewer lines do not run together.

do you know if your line drains to the sewer line? I had this problem, but the gray water line went out to a gravel bed in the back yard. Evidently roots had blocked it up. Had to put a lift pump in and connect it to the sewer line. Good luck
