My dual sided kitchen sink with a garbage disposal is not draining properly. How can I fix it?

Monday, September 28th, 2009
J-Rock asked:


I have a dual sided kitchen sink with a garbage disposal. Either side of the sink will slowly fill when I run the water and will drain extremely slowly. If I turn the garbage disposal on (which seems to be running fine) The water bubbles up and fills into the other side of the sink.

How do you remove a kitchen sink drain hole copper pipe?

Thursday, September 24th, 2009
. asked:


The copper pipe where the water runs immediately after the drain hole for a kitchen sink faucet is cracked and needs to be replaced. How do you get this tube to come off?
Is there a washer thats needs to be unscrewed for the copper drainage pipe to come off? Can anything else besides channel lock pliers be used to take this off? Can this simply be replaced by buying another copper drainage pipe at the hardware store?

How to unclog a backed up kitchen sink?

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009
Southern Belle asked:


My kitchen sink is backed up. All of the other sinks and toilet are working just fine, so I know that it is not the septic tank. We have tried drano, cleaned all pipes under the sink and tried the snake in the back pipes, but it is still backed up. Does anyone know what else we can do, before calling a plumber out?

The Best Sink for Your Kitchen

Sunday, September 20th, 2009
Lewis Dylan asked:


There are different types of kitchen sinks. However before buying that sink for your kitchen there are things you need to consider like the design of your kitchen, the decor and most importantly the durability. Today there are at least four common widely used sinks. These are the stainless sink, the granite sink, the copper sink and the brass sink. In selecting the type of sink you would want you should largely be informed by; how big your cabinet is, the number of bowls that you want depending on the needs for the sink, and also the type of kitchen sinks that work with counter tops. After satisfying yourself by ascertaining that all is set and you are sure of the sink that suits you and your kitchen then there are array of types you can select from.

The single Bowl sink come in different materials, stainless, granite copper or brass. Stainless one is the most popular due to its durability and easiness to maintain. The single bowl sink is suitable for those who prefer dishwasher rather than washing with hands. It is also a good option if your kitchen is small. Also available in different materials is the double and triple sinks. They are good for those who love washing dishes with hand. They are very convenient to use because you can wash from one sink and rinse from the other. Some have accessories such as that one for disposing garbage as you wash dishes.

The apron front sink also called farm house are for the stylish kitchen and have a panel with style on the front. The entertainment on the other hand  are small and are designed to prep and scrub vegetables and fruits, but today many things have changed such that these kitchen sinks come in very many different sizes. Likewise, their use in the kitchen has more or less changed.

Why Shop Direct – Everything for the Kitchen

Tuesday, September 15th, 2009
Jason Matt asked:


Most Americans who want to remodel, or upgrade their kitchen, think about their local hardware store chain when it comes to where to shop. While this is an easy solution, it’s probably not the best. This article focuses on the advantages of buying direct from a retailer that focuses on a more specific market, instead of the “everything under one roof” approach of the big chain stores.

It’s common sense that if you can buy everything from nails to concrete to lumber to lawn mowers at a store, it’s probably not going to have the widest variety of what you need when you really want to get a remodeling or building job right. For an example, consider www.BeesonDirect.com, which specializes in all types of decorative fixtures and hardware for bathrooms, kitchens, cabinet hardware and general hardware, and similar decorative fixtures and items. No nails and lawn mowers, which means that you know they’re really paying attention. Beeson Direct has been in business since 1883, so they were in the industry to witness the creation of every single new invention or design in the industry for over a hundred years!

So let’s consider just one category of Beeson Direct’s offering - kitchen fixtures: they carry kitchen sinks (including cast iron kitchen sinks and several other types of kitchen sink of varying designs, made from different types of material), kitchen sink faucets, cabinet hardware and other types of specialized hardware and fixtures. Now consider this: Beeson Direct carries kitchen sinks from more than 30 top manufacturers! So you’re talking variety, right? See what I mean at this link: Beesondirect

Of course they’re not all just about kitchen sinks; there are all types of quality home fixtures by the best manufacturers at Beeson Direct. Check it out for yourself.
