    Garbage Disposal
    My garabage disposal runs but won't drain. When I run the disposal it drains partially leaving water to top of drain. I disconnected the disposal and snaked the line but found no issue (maybe didn't clean far eniough?). Will the vinegor and baking soda thing work? Already. Tried drano product. Any thoughts? Tx John

    Hi John...

    Wouldn't recommend the drano here. Most likely when you snaked the drain you didn't go far enough OR the snake actually went up the VENT instead of down the drain.

    Try snaking the drain again... ;)

    Good luck!
