I have a clogged double-bowl kitchen sink with garbage disposal?

Wednesday, October 24th, 2007
oninotaki asked:


The side of the double-bowl kitchen sink with the garbage disposal does not drain. The side of the double-bowl kitchen sink not attached to the garbage disposal works just fine. I have plunged and snaked the side with the garbage disposal but it is not clearing up.

Can it still be the trap if one side works just fine? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Upon further inspection it appears that I have been snaking the line to the dishwasher and not the pipe I thought I had been. I am now in the process of trying out your various answers

We have a very old ceramic kitchen sink. It has a black stain on the bottom (from repeated use). I’d like to make it white again…Thanks!

How do you soundproof a kitchen sink?

Tuesday, October 16th, 2007
thomas g asked:


My wife and I purchased a copper kitchen sink that has no soundproofing. The metal is relatively thick, but we’re concerned that the sound of the water running in it and pots banging in it will be magnified by the lack of soundproofing. Any suggestions on how to dampen the sounds?
