Thanks, I regularly use citrus peels, ice (and vinegar/baking soda.) Are you recommending this because of any ill-effects of bleach on the environment, because it will due harm to the disposal unit, or other?

In regard to sloppy texturing, the entire space is a wood-like, smooth finish? What did they texture?

I realize this is my third question today, but thought it better to separate them. Furthermore, I searched this forum for answers first before asking, but didn't find specifics. People seem to be split whether to use bleach to clean, disinfect, etc. in a drain. We think the recent cluster of...

I've seen references to both floor drains and foundation drains, is there a difference? There's a hole in our concrete basement floor approx. 3" in diameter; when I stick my finger in all is feel is dirt/gravel. Is there a P-trap underneath? Our main drain stack and 4"(?) waste pipe is...

Thanks for the replies. The sink was draining fine before I replaced it and I snaked the drain pipe in the wall, so it should drain better. The pop-up is at its highest setting. If it's a pop-up issue then wouldn't the basin would fill immediately rather than after 12 seconds? In any case, I...

After 12 years I replaced the sink on the bathroom pedestal, there was no prior drainage problem. Now the basin on the new sink fills after ~12 seconds. When I took apart the pedestal I also cleared the P-trap, extension pipe, and drain of hair, sludge, etc. I sawed about 1" of the the tail...
