    Mind blown!!! Your tip at the end of the video, about new disposals having a plug that has to be knocked out, life changing. I must have missed that in the directions, or not looked at them at all. Mine was still plugged since installation MORE THAN 5 YEARS AGO!!! I seriously thought it was supposed to drain into the sink because it did it since installation. I usually do dishes by hand but SMH, please dont take away my man-card... lmao. THANK YOU!!!
  • This was the best, economical video to clear the air gap, that I have ever seen. To the point, no superfluous talking. Thank you!!!
  • @scottunes3957
    Add another satisfied customer to the list. I’d just replaced my sink, and could not figure out why this was leaking. You fixed it.
  • @nickrobins9579
    Pleased to say that this is exactly the fix I needed. Now, I keep the scrap piece of cable I used under the sink for the next time!
  • @hottsdog
    very helpful and clear. A total plumbing novice and unhandyman fixed the problem in less than 30 minutes. Thanks
  • @EugeneSF
    Thank you so much for posting this! This fixed the dishwasher overflow problem I had today. You just made my day.
  • Thank you for such a genius idea of using the cable. You saved me so much time and money. THANK YOU!!!!!
  • U r a my hero!!! Thank u. I’ve had this problem for awhile. Just left it alone till my sister said her air gap was shooting water. Told her leave it. She said I was crazy so I went on you tube and found u. IT WORKED!!! The cable did the trick. I had to go through the sink hole up through the air gap cuz it was clogged the other way. Thank u again. 🤗🤗🤗

    Sam, I sincerely thank you for this excellent How-To video! I happened to have some spare coax cable in the garage to use. The problem was fixed in 10-minutes, I saved money, and learned a few things too! Thank You!
  • @garym7822
    Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Watched multiple videos and tried things with no luck. You were the first video to mention plastic insert. Solved it right away!!!
  • @aw1359
    What an awesome video! No nonsense and to the point! I just fixed mine. There was a LOT of build-up and resistance, so I used a long-handled brush on the inside of the sink, then kept feeding the cable through. It worked!! Thank you!!
  • @djrajiisab
    Thank you for describing it visually and verbally so well. Problem solved. Hate to imagine going under the sink to fix this.
  • @lacyreese956
    🙏🙏🙏 thank you! I watched so many other videos that didn’t work but your instructions were so clear! Also, genius about the cable. We all know how many random cables we have lying around the house from the ghosts of electronics past. Thank you!!!
  • Thank you so much for this video! Saved us from having to call a plumber. We are NOT handy at all, but your instructions were so clear. Could not believe the gunk that came out of that line. Thanks again.
  • First video I found that explained it perfectly and entirely. I had no idea what that vent was for and it started leaking a while ago. Now I can stop it! Thank you!!
  • 4 years later this deserves a super like! Just became a home owner and the last tip did help me figure the problem on my new garage disposal
  • @thommiller2641
    Well done- simple, easy to understand. No unnecessary "know it all" attitude which is often the case with these.
  • @ca-VIP
    Saved me a bundle of time and money. I was planning to try to take the whole thing apart and clean it out, instead your 5-minute fix did the job! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
  • @hinata15100
    Thank you , my husband work 16 hours a day and don’t have time to fix it.. I fixed it by following your instructions, thank you so much. I’m so happy so I subscribed because you helped me.
  • @scrappy409
    Thank you! I ended up just pulling the hose out and running the garden hose through it. Got some pretty gnarly gunk out of it. Liked and Subbed! You're the man!
