recycle b asked:


Two of the sinks in my home have blockage. One of the sinks it takes about 8 hours for the water to completely go down the sink. The other sink has complete blockage with no water movement.
I do need to save a few dollars and do not want to call a plumber at this time. How can I unblock both of these sinks myself?
Both sinks are in the bathroom.

I am working on a remodel of kids/guest bathroom. I have one long vanity cabinet with double rectangle sinks. I took down the long single mirror with track lighting and would like to go to two single mirrors above the vanities with some type of lighting. What shape of mirrors will look best and what type of lighting will look good and be functional?

Plumbing Slow shower drain, Rising water
As I was showering, I noticed the water was not draining out as usual. Ten minutes had passed before the water went down, but the sinks, tubs, and toilets has risen. We do have a septic system and use Rid-X monthly. If it is the septic, what is the cost and length of time to fix?

why would my upstairs sinks not have hot water?

Baronvonkyken asked:


I just bought a brand spanking new house and the upstairs sinks don’t have hot water, the shower and tubs have plenty though. the sinks have two knob faucets and the house is plumbed with pex type plastic pipes.
all the valves are on, no floodsafe. if I let the water run for 5-7 min it starts to warm up a little…. its a bit of a quagmire.

How can I avoid old milk clogging up the sinks piping?

November 25th, 2011 | Posted in sinks   Add Comment
Cnl Delta asked:


When I pour milk that’s been left out for a day down the pipes (renting and the sinks drainage pipe is plastic,) the pipes tend to leak or break.

Dish wash liquid seems to make the milk coagulate.
