major back up in the lower end of the house (meaning that the kitchen sink sits higher than the bath tub that was getting the overflow) meant that everything that was washed down the sink would come up through the bath tub drain in about 30 secs of having kitchen sink water running.

bought some industrial strength crystals for drainage blocks and poured it in both drains. let the sink run with hot water and watching about 1/4 of the tub fill up with years of gunk! after we stopped the water the bath tub emptied and we haven't had a problem since!
