NASTYYYYY!!!! My sink gets clogged every now and then, I usually use drano. This time around, I tried and it didn't work very well. Draining was still pretty slow, so I tried the old fashioned vinegar and baking soda which worked for a while but now my sink is slow once again.

I just tried the plunger and this gross slimey looking stuff was coming out of the drain, yuck! Does anyone know what it is? Guess I have to call the plumber :(

Myself and my employees do all the projects you don't have time to do and the bigger companies won't do in timely fashion. We won't build any structures, but we will do just about everything else. The price is rock bottom and the service is top notch. If you need help, please let me know.

My painter used spray paint for the garage and did not cover the floor. It has lots of spots and is almost painted white at places. It looks horrible.

There are tons of Mosquitos that have made my backyard a home. We have alot of trees and it's been raining. The puddles are taking a while to clear up, and I was just wondering if there is some kind of homemade mix I can throw together. I have a sprayer that exterminators use, so I will be able to cover alot of ground. They need to DIE!!!

My stupid dog chewed up toilet paper, and it all wound up in the in-ground pool. We cleaned it all out, and checked the filters, and nothing appears to be wrong, ut for some reason the water level in the pool is dropping like crazy, and has only been doing this since the dog got it in the pool? What could be wrong with it? I don't see how toilet paper could be doing anything? Help?

It runs fine until you turn the pressure on, and then it dies.

There was no smoke or fire. I just moved in to this condominium and I noticed that it intermittently gave out a split second sound like a bird chirping. This morning, I woke up to a continuous siren-sounding noise that was not as loud as a smoke alarm detecting smoke.

I already have the wet- patch kit. How do i use this? Also can I run my filter while my pool is covered? Do I still add all the things I add, like chlorine & shock even though I will cover it after?
