People often forget about their kitchen’s plumbing, which tends to include their sink and dishwasher. Your kitchen’s plumbing, however, can quickly become noticeable when your drain or garbage disposal is clogged, or if your dishwasher becomes filthy.
How Do I Fix a Clogged Garbage Disposal?
Make sure the disposal is turned off, insert an appropriately sized hex or Allen wrench into the hole of the disposal motor. Rotate the wrench back and forth to dislodge the obstruction and if this does not work it could be a bigger issue and require more diagnostics or even grease that needs to be cleaned out.
How Do I Get Rid of Odor Coming From the Garbage Disposal?
Remove odor from your garbage disposal by using items like lemons, ice cubes, baking soda and vinegar. If this doesn’t solve the issue, call ABC Plumbing to schedule an appointment. You could possibly have a clogged drain.

Why Is My Dishwasher Not Draining?
If your dishwasher isn’t draining, it’s likely due to a clog in the drain line, however this is connected to the same drain pipe as your sink so most likely you would be noticing your sink not draining too. If this is not the case then it could be the dishwasher brain malfunctioning itself.
Why Is My Dishwasher Not Filling With Water?
Dishwashers that aren’t filling with water are often caused by a dirty filter, water supply line needing to be replaced, or a faulty water isolation valve.
