Most common issues are clogs, leaks, and odors.

Try a plunger first — works 70% of the time.
If no luck, use baking soda and vinegar: pour 1/2 cup baking soda followed by 1/2 cup vinegar. Let sit for an hour before flushing with hot water.

Run a mixture of 1/2 cup baking soda and 1/4 cup vinegar down the drain to neutralize odors.
