Why does a dishwasher have to drain through the sink plumbing?

• <div><p>Any drain in your house requires a water trap to prevent sewer gases from entering the home. Dishwashers don’t have an internal water trap, so they must use an external P trap. The most convenient P trap for the dishwasher is already in the plumbing under your sink.</p></div>

I had an air conditioner and furnace installed and the old one taken out Ted and Jason were the two installers that did the work. They did a great job, ultra polite, very skilled at their work and left my house as clean as it was before they left. I would absolutely hire them again
