Q: What is the difference between a one-way cleanout and a two-way cleanout?

• <div><p>With a one-way cleanout, you can access your sewer line from one direction. Depending on the way it curves, a plumber can either access the side of the pipe that goes into your home or the side that goes to your yard. On the other hand, two-way cleanouts allow pros to access both sides of the sewer line, thanks to their dual-pipe design (they&rsquo;re usually U-shaped).</p></div>

Q: Does flushing a clogged toilet make it worse?

• <div><p>Yes, continuing to flush a clogged toilet is not likely to break up the clog. Instead, it will continue to put pressure on the clog while filling the bowl with more water, which can potentially cause the toilet to overflow&mdash;leading to an even bigger mess. Rather than repeatedly flushing, use a toilet plunger or plumber&rsquo;s snake to dislodge the clog. </p></div>

Q: Is it okay to pour bleach down a garbage disposal?

• <div><p>A small amount of diluted bleach is okay to pour down a garbage disposal. As part of your weekly <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-keep-your-garbage-disposal-running.htm">garbage disposal maintenance</a>, use 1 teaspoon of bleach with your concoction of ice cubes and lemon peels.

Always wear gloves when working with bleach, and know that you really don&rsquo;t need bleach at all&mdash;vinegar, baking soda, salt, and ice should do the trick.</p></div>

Q: How do I stop my AC drain from clogging?

• <div><p>There are several steps you can take to prevent your AC drain from clogging. This includes cleaning the drain line at least every three months, changing the filter every one to three months, and getting your AC serviced annually.

Repaired my leaking main Second floor bathroom drain piping. Whoever did the original repair/ install obviously wasn’t a pro. Probably a child it was so bad. Mitch did a great repair and not one leak.
