    Sink Clogged

    This is a typical problem I am sure. The bathroom sink drains ridiculously slow. It has been neglected for years. It does not help that recently I was sick (the cause of which is an entirely different story) and I did not make it to the toilet one day and projectile vomited a lunch into the...

    Hi, My garbage disposal has been leaking for a while now. And today, I tried to "pump" the water in the left sink to let the drainage go faster, but it made the disposal worse. Now the water in my left sink just goes to the right sink, and and goes through the disposal's leakage. I am not...

    Hi everyone, The sink in my kitchen won't drain. This is a new condo unit, it's been only 8 months. I'm not a pro, but I lived in apartments for more than 10 years and never had this issue. My first attempt was to use a chemical. That didn't work. Then I tried a plunger and snake, also...

    Leaking p trap

    All I have a p-trap that's leaking under my kitchen sink. It's the schedule 40 stuff, so I can't just unscrew some nuts and replace everything easily. The yellow circle is where the leak is. The red circle is where I assume I would need to cut the pvc in order to replace the p trap. The...
