• If your sink is clogged, a natural eco-friendly way to try clearing it is this: Take ¼ cup of baking soda and pour down drain. Then add ¼ cup white vinegar. Let stand at least 20 minutes. The foaming action should clear minor clogs and clear the pipes. Then flush the drain with very hot freshly boiled water. You might need to use a plunger at this point to agitate the clogged up material. Flush the drain again with hot water. Repeat above until drain clears.
• How to prevent frozen pipes:
  There are three central causes of frozen pipes. Quick drops in temperatures combined with poor insulation and thermostats set too low.
  • Here’s how to protect your home from frozen pipes:
    Allow water to drip from your faucet as a trickle. This will help keep the water in the pipe from freezing. If the pipe is in a non insulated wall or crawlspace near your kitchen cabinet, you can place a small portable heater near it to heat the pipes. Insulate pipes in your crawl space and attic. Heat tape can help keep pipes warm in cold winter months. Be sure to use approved products specifically intended for either indoor or outdoor use. Seal leaks that allow cold air inside near pipes. Disconnect garden hoses and when possible, shut off indoor valve to garden water supply.
