Have you ever had a plumbing problem spiral out of control? It's easier than you might think - one minute you're trying to unclog a toilet with a DIY fix your friend told you about.

Who doesn't love their garbage disposal? Aside from its loud noise, it can work wonders for food disposal and general kitchen cleanup. But tidying up after dinner is a lot harder when you flip that little switch, and your disposal doesn't work as it should. When your garbage disposal is clogged, it can snowball into other plumbing problems like sink clogs and even piping issues.
Though the most common culprit behind garbage disposal clogs is rust and hard items that jam up the propeller, worn blades and inefficient food disposal are also on the list. In some cases, corroded motor wiring impacts disposal failure, which can even cause shock hazards.

HOLLYWOOD, S.C. (WCBD) – A mobile home that was left abandoned along Davison Road in Hollywood could be removed in the near future thanks to actions taken by the surrounding towns.
Residents said the mobile home has become an eyesore; it’s been there for so long it now appears on Google Maps. But what you won’t see on Google Maps is that the trailer is still furnished.
On Thursday, Ravenel Mayor Stephen Tumbleston said he is working with Hollywood Mayor Chardale Murray to create a timeline for a speedy demolition and removal of the trailer. Tumbleston said once the owner of the trailer signs an approval letter, the towns will work together to remove it.
“We’re waiting on that letter to come back executed with a signature, and then we’ve solicited bids and we will partner with Hollywood on getting it out. And just as soon as we get the document back from the owner, court cases and all that aside, we’ll get it cleaned up, we’ll get it moved out,” said Mayor Tumbleston.
News 2 spoke with the crew working to help remove the trailer, Berry Demolition. Once they are given the go-ahead, the process of removing the trailer will take 2 to 3 days. After the demolition crew surveyed the area, like many, they agree it must go.
“I mean its definitely got to go, needs demolishing that’s all. There’s probably no saving it and moving it again from now, so yeah it definitely has to be torn down and moved from here,” said one crew member.
Over in Hollywood, newly elected Mayor Murray is still getting settled into office, but said that won’t stop her from doing what she can to have the trailer removed from Davison Road.
“That feels good you know, to know that this trailer has been sitting out here almost two months. My word is my bond. I called the Mayor of Ravenel and when I called him he said ‘Hey we got to do whatever we can to do to make this happen’ and here it is,” said Mayor Murray.
Concerned resident, Jerry Gray, who first told News 2 about the trailer, says he’s happy to see progress being made.
“If you don’t have a plan, you don’t have a clue. Ideally, a plan is being formulated. That’s why I say I’m optimistic with a little dose of caution,” said Gray.
News 2 will continue following this story as the community awaits the removal.

RAVENEL, S.C. (WCBD) – Ravenel leaders discussed Tuesday night plans for a proposed development that has some community members upset.
The proposed development is the Preserve at Ravenel, and community members voiced their opinions on the development before town council voted on the first reading.
Ravenel neighbors gathered in front of Ravenel Town Hall prior to Tuesday’s council meeting to discuss the proposed Preserve at Ravenel development.
“It’s been a very confusing process to all of us as concerned citizens,” Ravenel resident Melissa Barfield said. “So, now we’re just trying to figure out exactly what is going to happen.”
Some residents worry that the 755-acre development that would be located on Davison Road, and include 350 dwelling units and 25 acres of commercial space, would overwhelm the town’s roads.
“It’s traffic,” Barfield said. “Its traffic is what it is, and that’s our concern. We travel this road every day, not just me, but everybody who lives off or on Davison Road travel it every day and we see the traffic we sit in every morning. And it’s just going to create more.”
For neighbors like Angela Brown who grew up in Ravenel, she fears this development could be the start of transforming her home into a place seemingly unrecognizable.
“We have a history there,” Brown said. “I want to know, ‘What’s in it for us?’ You’re coming through our village. This is our village, and you’re just wanting to force something down our throats. I’m very disappointed that this is happening.”
During the meeting, council voted on the project’s first reading, and it passed unanimously.
After residents received a letter from Ravenel Mayor Stephen Tumbleston early Tuesday stating they would not be allowed to comment on the development at the meeting, they were permitted to do so.
“I just think there’s so many little things that can be changed to make this more palatable to the community,” one Ravenel resident said. “And we would probably say, ‘Yes, okay,’ if some of those changes were implemented. Otherwise, I think it’s a terrible idea.”
Mayor Tumbleston says the town has seen steady growth through the years, and he’s confident if this development is approved, it will be a major benefit to the community.
“Dorchester County using 165 now as a beltway around has had a huge impact on the traffic in our town,” Tumbleston said. “So, why can’t we grow a little bit, too? To reap some of the benefits, where we’re not just a speed bump for everybody else traveling through.”
The second reading will be voted on at next Tuesday’s (3/28) town council meeting.

Cameran Eubanks and Thomas Ravenel are among the Southern Charm stars who have stepped away from the Bravo hit over the years.
Eubanks was part of the original cast of Southern Charm, which premiered in 2014. After six seasons, she shocked fans in May 2020 when she announced her departure. That same month, Eubanks shut down claims that she left due to her husband, Jason Wimberly, being unfaithful.
“It has come to my attention that insidious rumors are now spreading and fake articles are being written … some of which pertain to my marriage,” she wrote via Instagram at the time, sharing that leaving Southern Charm was partly to “protect what is sacred” to her and that “some things aren’t worth a big paycheck.”
Eubanks exclusively told Us Weekly in April 2022 that she has no plans to come back, explaining, “If I was to ever go back on television, it would have to be something boring that didn’t involve fighting or having to talk about people.”

Perched over the Cooper River, the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge stands as a remarkable engineering masterpiece and a symbol of connectivity for the vibrant city of Charleston, South Carolina. This cable-stayed bridge gracefully links downtown Charleston to the charming town of Mount Pleasant, serving as the gateway for visitors and locals alike to explore the region's rich history. With a soaring main span stretching an impressive 1,546 feet, the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge proudly claims to be the third-longest cable-stayed bridge in the Western Hemisphere. Standing at a height of 573 feet and offering a generous clearance of 187 feet below, it provides an awe-inspiring view of the picturesque surroundings, welcoming travelers with a breathtaking sight.
The construction of the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge commenced in 2001, and on July 16, 2005, it was triumphantly opened, solidifying its place in the hearts of Charleston's residents and visitors. However, this iconic bridge is not the first to grace the Cooper River's landscape. The legacy of connectivity dates back to 1929 when the John P. Grace Memorial Bridge, a double cantilever truss bridge, first spanned the river, captivating the world with its daring design and engineering ingenuity.
Today, the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge is not only an architectural marvel but also a testament to the visionary spirit of Charleston's past and its unwavering commitment to embracing the future. With many hidden gems in Charleston, Ravenel Bridge is one not to miss.

The Ravenel Bridge is located over the Cooper River in South Carolina, connecting the cities of Charleston and Mount Pleasant. This bridge is one of the largest in the area, so it's hard to miss when driving to and from the city. Moreover, the Ravenel Bridge in Charleston has a main span of 1,546 feet (471 m), the third longest among cable-stayed bridges in the Western Hemisphere. This only adds to its charm; structurally, it's also quite interesting. For those who want to drive over this iconic landmark, head to Waterfront Park in Mount Pleasant, near the Visitor Center. From there, guests can continue their journey over the bridge by car or take a walk along the designated pedestrian walkway.
What makes this bridge unique is that it offers the chance for walking and bike riding across. Not every bridge of this size has that: making it even more worth the adventure.
Here are some of the best hostels in Charleston, South Carolina.
Before its construction, the first bridge to cross the lower Cooper River opened in 1929, eventually named the John P. Grace Memorial Bridge. After many years of serving the two cities and millions of crossers, the bridge was transformed once again into the then Silas N. Pearman Bridge, opened in 1966 at a cost of $15 million (equivalent to $135.29 million in 2022). This bridge had three lanes and was considered the best for the time. However, over the years, it too met its fate, becoming "obsolete" to many engineers, commuters, and city officials.
Ravenel Bridge crossing between Mount Pleasant and Charleston
Charleston's Battery and White Point Gardens are also history-rich.
Groundbreaking on the Ravenel Bridge occurred in 2001 in Mount Pleasant. This was a "design-build" project, meaning one contract was signed to both design and build the bridge. Therefore, construction could begin even though the design was not yet finalized. That was controversial for many residents and officials, but the project pushed through. By the summer of 2002, the foundations for the towers and piers were in place, and the rock islands were done. The first cables were hung from the bridge in 2004, marking a near-end to the year-long project.
A ceremony was held in March 2005 when the last slab of the deck was added. This bridge is considered an engineering masterpiece and was even featured on the TV show "Extreme Engineering."

Yes, crossing this bridge is toll-free. Guests are free to enter and exit the bridge as they please, considering it's a major connector between Mount Pleasant and Charleston. Just remember to keep an eye out for traffic and for those walking: stay in the pedestrian area. Have fun!

CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCBD) – Police, firefighters and community members gathered Monday morning for a walk on the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge in a show of support for the first responders and heroes of the September 11, 2001, terror attacks.
The 10th Annual 9-11 Silent Walk began in Charleston and came to an end at the USS Yorktown at Patriots Point in Mount Pleasant.
No words were exchanged and only the sound of cars passing by could be heard as people from all over the Lowcountry and beyond participated in the silent walk across the Ravenel Bridge during the morning hours.
Tian Griffieth, who serves as executive director and captain of the North Charleston Fire Department, said this decade-old ceremony started with a text message that was sent 10 years ago.
“This has been something that we started out as five friends … a text message saying hey, let’s go something on 9-11. We came out, we walked that day the entire Ravenel Bridge and that day set off a chain of events that have allowed us to be here for the last decade,” he said.
Now, thousands have joined the walk with support from across the spectrum – from kids who were born after September 11, 2001, to those who were there in person when the attacks happened 22 years ago.
“We immediately saw the smoke, and there was a solid stream of people that were running out of the area. We got to the base just before the collapse and we started taking care of people,” recalled 9/11 first responder Johan Zamoscianyk.
“We had seen the first plane hit the towers. We went from Queens, and by the time we got into Manhattan the second plane had hit and the first tower came down,” said Retired NYPD Detective Michael Rooney.
The moment of silence and process of first responders across the Ravenel — a symbol to serve as a reminder for everyone to see.
“We put 343 firefighters on this bridge every year, police officers, members of the community, walking as a symbol of those people that were lost,” said Capt. Griffieth.
After reaching the end of the Ravenel Bridge, participants gathered on the flight deck of the USS Yorktown where organizers held additional events commemorating 9/11 and the first responders.
“It’s a surreal event. Seeing everybody walking across the bridge is reminiscent of people walking up the westside highway,” said Zamoscianyk.
Event organizers say since the inaugural walk in 2013, over 6,000 people have walked the Ravenel Bridge to honor the victims of the September 11, 2001, terror attacks.
