Q: What happens when you put baking soda and vinegar down the sink drain?

• <div><p>When you put baking soda and vinegar down the drain, they chemically react and help break down clogs. It&rsquo;s not going to work for every type of clog, however. For example, it&rsquo;s not the best way to get rid of grease buildup. For grease, you should try boiling water and white vinegar instead.</p></div>

Q: How do you unclog a garbage disposal with standing water?

• <div><p>For disposal clogs with standing water, use a sink plunger and place it over the garbage disposal drain. Push the sink plunger up and down the drain about six to eight times before lifting. If the sink drains, the clogged food particles are dislodged from the drain. If there&rsquo;s still standing water, repeat the steps until the standing water clears out. </p></div>

There are, however, other potential issues that can lead to improper drainage.

Check that the air gap is installed properly, and then look for clogs in the air gap and dishwasher filters. </p></div>

"I initially hired Rod to replace some rotting deck boards; he made some improvements to my deck that I love. The next project was exterior painting. I had started to paint my home and shed but quickly developed shoulder issues and could not finish. Rod finished the job and did many extras that have greatly improved the look of my home. Couldnâ t be happier and will be asking Rod for help again very soon. He was very easy to work with, communicated on a regular basis and has an impressive skill set! I recommend Rod without hesitation."
