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.

Q: How do I find a clogged plumbing vent?

• <div><p>To unclog a plumbing vent, you first need to locate it. Look at your home's roofline. The plumbing vent will be a vertical pipe sticking straight up from the roof.
