Clear a kitchen sink clog with five methods from easiest to most aggressive -- boiling water, plunging, baking soda, P-trap cleaning, and drain snaking.

Mount an undermount sink to granite, quartz, or solid surface -- clip placement, silicone application, drain hookup, and the 24-hour cure that makes it watertight.

Find and fix a leaking sink drain -- whether it is the basket strainer seal, the tailpiece connection, or the P-trap slip joints -- with the right fix for each failure point.

Clear a clogged or smelly P-trap in minutes. No special tools needed -- just a bucket, pliers, and a brush. Fixes slow drains and sewer odors at the source.

Everything you need to pick the right kitchen or bathroom faucet -- hole count, mount type, finish, valve technology, and features that actually matter for your sink and daily use.

Install an under-sink reverse osmosis system for the cleanest drinking water at home -- feed water connection, filter mounting, storage tank, drain saddle, dedicated faucet, and the critical initial flush.

Almost always a partial clog from hair, soap scum, grease, or food debris in the drain, P-trap, or branch line. Simple DIY fix, under 30 minutes.

Foul smell from the drain? Bacterial biofilm in the pipe, dried-out P-trap letting sewer gas through, or food debris in the disposal or overflow. Most drain odors fixed in under 30 minutes with household items.

Chips and cracks in porcelain, enamel, fireclay, composite, and acrylic sinks range from cosmetic to structural. Small chips fix with a touch-up kit. Larger cracks may need refinishing or replacement.

One drip per second wastes over 3,000 gallons a year. Usually a worn cartridge, washer, or seal -- straightforward DIY fix that stops the waste and the noise.

Water that tastes or smells off -- chlorine, rotten eggs, metallic, musty -- has a specific cause for each type. Identifying what it tastes or smells like is the fastest path to the right fix.
