My home inspector recommended I install one between my dishwasher and kitchen sink. I can’t find one at the hardware store and I don’t know what one looks like. Can someone please shed some light?

Not always, but often lately, (I know this is gross) there’s the smell of sewage coming from our upstairs kitchen sink. Even right after I do the dishes. Any ideas?

Any advise on refinishing/resurfacing an aluminum kitchen sink?

Thursday, April 10th, 2008
smalltownhobbit asked:


We went on vacation and left a leaking bleach bottle in our aluminum kitchen sink and when we returned, we found that the aluminum had corroded in several places and there are little holes in the sink. I don’t really want to replace the entire sink so I was hoping someone could suggest ways to fix the holes left by the bleach. Thank you lots!

My kitchen sink is backed up and the water is backing up into my bathroom sink. Why is this happening to?

JD asked:


I was washing dishes and the dirty water backed up into my bathroom sink, when I plunger the kitchen sink I can hear the water still in the pipes going back and forth between the kitchen and bathroom. Will drano or liquid plummer work on something like this?
