Default Need a plumber

I have either a clog in garbage disposal or sink. I have applied approx. 32 oz. of liquid-pliumbr to both. No result yet will let sit overnight.

My neighbor had the same problem, she put shredded carrots in her garbage disposal and plugged it up. Unscrew the plastic drain pipes (make sure you have a pan underneath to catch the water) and clean them out. Hope this helps!

You can also put ice cubes in the garbage disposal and turn it on with some water running, the ice can help breakup a clog, if it is in the disposal, if in the pipes, I agree with the above suggestion.
Hope this helps.

Mine does he same thing about 2 times a year.
Simple fix if you have 2 bay sink take the black garbage disposal cover and place it in the the bay that doesn't have the disposable.

Put water in the disposal side and plunge with a toilet plunger
periodically running the disposal.
Be Sure to hold down the drain cover.

Good Luck

Now that you have filled the sink up with dangerous Chemicals, Be very careful, a splash in your eyes, on your skin, clothing etc can be very harmful. Len
