[@irene4581]

Literally had this just happened to me tonight in the hotel. What worked for me with limited resources in my situation was gently knocking on one side of the drain stopper so that the opposite side will raise up a bit. However instead of using floss to go around the stopper, I used a safety pin to gently pull it up. Thanks for inspiring me to solve the problem :)

[@KathyWright-ym5xi]

MY husband went to mow the yard and said when I am done I will look at the sink but I have no idea what to do. So I found your Video "Getting It Done North of 7" I was so pleased as was he when he came in and found I had the sink all apart and was cleaning out filth. He didn't need a rotter router after all. I also appreciated that you did not do a lot of necessary yacking. Thank you for making an unpleasant chore so much easier. Oh our push down sink plug was not stuck ours was draining slow, very slow. Thanks again

[@_simon.s_]

I was cleaning the bathroom sink which was full of hair then pushed down on the plug which got stuck. I was panicking cause I was staying at someone's house and didn't want to inconvenience the owner. Luckily I found this video. Grabbed the end of a broomstick and started tapping around the plug which got it unstuck. Thanks a lot for this.

[@Stephen-gk3ds]

Thank you so much. I feel a bit foolish I couldn't figure out on my own how these plugs worked, but you saved me a call to maintenance (who would have almost certainly chuckled at my predicament)

[@GettingItDoneRepairs]

Glad it all worked out for you 🙂

[@nicksmith1480]

Thanks for posting this! Stopper stuck right down after drying out during maintenance. Olive oil plus wooden mallet and light/medium tapping with a piece of wood all round the circumference of the stopper worked a treat!

[@GettingItDoneRepairs]

Awesome 👌

[@brotherlantern5066]

Mate, you’re a life saver. Had to do it slightly different though but pretty much did the wood tapping trick and it worked. Had no piece of wood but used a couple of chopsticks held together and no hammer but a pair of pliers as a hammering substitute. Also, I emptied the sink (had to use a towel to soak up the last of it) but the plug was just jammed in there, so I refilled it with hot water and tried it again, tapping the chopsticks with the side of the pliers aaand bingo, it popped up. Thank you mate, for making this vid. Cheers.

[@GettingItDoneRepairs]

great to hear

[@jillprikryl7596]

thank you so much! That thing was so stuck, it wouldn't move at all. It took WD40, the hammer and stick, then finally it was loose enough to get the dental floss under it and pull it up. I got that sucker out and am throwing it away lol. It is not a pop up one, it was the part that connects to the lever was rusted and had broken off. Very grateful that you took the time to post this.

[@TexasBeekeeper]

Great video and a great service to everyone with this problem. Thanks for posting it. While these tips didn't work for me, I did get it un stuck. Note: Mine was stuck hard. There was no turning it. Here's what worked for me, as nothing else did.... Pro Tip: I got a sink plunger The blue one with several ribs on the plunger..... Yep, that's the one. I pressed it down and then popped it up as quick as I could. The first couple of times it just barely raised the stopper, but after the third time, it popped it up. I then stuck it again to see if it could do it on the first try, and it will. You just have to get a good pop out of it. Note: While my stopper wouldn't turn at first, after using the plunger to barely pop it up, it probably would have turned from that point on.... What I found was the reason my stopper was sticking is because I had it tightened down all the way on the threads (not tool tight, but hand tight). That was too much for the poor machining tolerances and that caused it to bind when pressed down. So now I just barely loosen the threads on the stopper and it will open and close no problem. Now if any of y'all are into bees, head on over to my channel and let's have some more fun.

Thank you! I live on my own and I've never had a plug like this before. I was definitely panicking. Who knew there'd be so many emotions when trying to get a sink plug to pop back up again. 😅.

I'll bet the emotions of fixing it yourself was awesome! Good job. 👍 This video has helped so many people and that makes me very happy.

[@tim_is_random]

Thanks for this video. Mine was stuck fast due to a new rubber washer being slightly too big - but I eventually got it out using WD40 around the edges, and then a few good tugs with a plunger. Great advice, thanks again 🙏🏻

Glad you got it!

Sir your video saved me a hefty plumber's fee. Given the nature of my stuck plug, and the fact that I don't have a piece of wood (but am now strongly considering having one in the flat just in case), I went straight for your dental floss solution. 15 minutes of squabbling with my plug and it finally popped back up. I don't mean to be dramatic but you're a life saver lol Wishing you a wonderful day and thank you ever so much!

This was very helpful. The methods worked for me for 1 basin but other basin was terribly stuck. So I took my drill, put a hole in the stuck part and used an allen key short end to pull it up. Worked great. Got a replacement cap from a DIY store for 2 euros. Saved me 100 euros in plumber fee.

[@GettingItDoneRepairs]

Wow thats cool to hear! Good job 👏

[@Truth1561]

You saved my life! My daughter is away and I decided to deep clean her en suite for her. I have no idea how I managed to get her plug stuck, but with the WD40 ( what did we ever do without it?!) and tapping in it with a wooden spoon and tiny craft hammer- up she popped!

[@CK123-i3i]

Amazing!!! I am a novice at fixing my household plumbing issues, and last night my drain plug was stuck. I didn't know it worked like a click pen (for some reason I thought it was just a suction mechanism). The mallet/stick version worked like a charm on the first tap. I used a cloth to protect the drain plug from getting scratched.

[@imeldasitinta5153]

Thank you so SO much for helping me fix my sink with the wood and hammer method. This is the second time I’ve broken it and because its fairly new I had no idea what I did wrong. I was panicking as I KNEW I would be in major trouble. You literally saved me

[@GettingItDoneRepairs]

Awesome to hear! 😃

[@actualegg9287]

Here's another solution that I just used myself- If you have a floss pick instead of dental floss, you can use pointed end of the pick to slide it through the gap and pop it up a little. Then you should be able to use the floss end to pry it up the rest of the way, though that may take some struggling.

[@serenaclaire4140]

omg i just tried this today and it worked immediately!! thank you so much!!

[@MartinLisius]

I couldn’t do it using any of those methods so I accessed it from below after removing the drain pipe then a long, slender screwdriver, and tapped it with a hammer. It popped up. Then I lubricated the pop-up piston. It works. Thank you for posting.

[@MissRolRolCA]

Thank you for this video, and thank you all for leaving your comments, sharing your experience. Mine was very stuck. Was discouraged at first, but then seeing others taking the time and patience in doing this, it encouraged me being persistent. It took me about 20 mins, knocking the rim of the stopper with a pair of attached wooden chop sticks and a hammer. It finally popped up a little. It wasn't all the way, so I continued to pray and tapping it, and added more WD40. Then I tried pushing it down a little, then it popped all the way out. Thank you!! Hallelujah!!

[@GettingItDoneRepairs]

That's great! Don't forget to take it apart and lube it.

[@lifeisgood7762]

Had to progress through all of the suggestions before finally resorting to the dental floss and I'm here to tell you he's right... that's a tedious process. My seal was so tight it took quite a bit of effort and multiple, multiple tries to pull it off successfully but when I did I was grateful for the advice. One time it even popped up and then dropped right back down and I was like "dang!" but stuck with it and got it done. Thanks so much for the tips!

I’ve been a widow for seven years now. I’ve had to learn how to do these small jobs for myself and thanks to you I’ve unplugged my sink stopper. I took all the water out, let it dry, sprayed it with DW40. Next, I didn’t have a piece of wood so I used the handle part of my screw driver and tapped the business end with my rubber mallet. PRESTO! Boy that felt good.

Absolutely amazing! I tried everything online and nothing worked. I used DW40 but didn't have any wood so used a piece of rubber and tapped the plug lightly with a hammer, used the tooth floss which came back with slug on it and used one of the plastic jar openers to unscrew the plug. I pulled out some more slug with a pair of tweezers and the drain ran perfectly. I checked my other bathroom and although the sink drain didn't have a problem I found beard shavings in it so will now check every so often. Thanks so much. You are a wizard. 🥰

[@GettingItDoneRepairs]

[@smithy0009]

Thank you so much for this video! For me, the tapping with a hammer on a stick worked. My little boy (nearly five) was watching your video with me, and afterwards we watched some clips from Maverick as he loves watching all the aircraft flying.

[@VictorVuTruong]

Thank you so much! I used the 2nd method! I didn’t have a wooden piece so I just used a dinner knife instead. After I tapped a few time I saw the sink plug popped up by a tiny bit so I used the tip of the knife to widen the gap slowly and finally got a glove to twist it counter clockwise.

[@margaretfloyd1955]

You are an absolute genius! I had to improvise and use what was handy. I have a heavy wooden spoon, so used the handle. No idea where my hammer was, so I used a heavy metal spatula. Went around in a circle like you showed tapping the top of the wooden spoon gently. It popped up the first time I tried! Thanks so much!

[@GettingItDoneRepairs]

You're very welcome!

[@badgercode]

Thank you for this! The hammer tap method did it for me. I used a small screwdriver, tapped around the plug and it moved up. I had to then wiggle it back down with my fingers to release the catch mechanism. And then I tapped it some more to fully release it

[@OMGhotels]

Amazing! Thank you so much. I’ve literally been getting driven crazy by it for 10 days and couldn’t get anyone to come out and it had become a nuisance the last couple of days as the slow down in draining had stopped. The WD40 trick worked for me. I left it a while and then came back with a tiny flat head screwdriver to try and move the rim anti-clockwise and it started to move slowly and then it unscrewed the top of the plug so I sprayed a load more WD40 on the metal projectile in there and then got in there with my pliers and was able to move it and now it moves freely! I’m so happy and couldn’t be more thankful. Thank you so much. Merry Christmas 🎄

[@mazed9793]

Thank you! ONE ADDITIONAL METHOD TO TRY...Across 2 days I tried all of these methods up to and including dental floss. No luck. Wondered if changing the temperature would help. I filled a sandwich Ziploc with chipped ice and set it directly on top of drain for 20 minutes. Came back and gently touched it and it popped right up. I'm sure the WD40 helped in my case but it had been sitting on it for 2 days and worked down in with tip of razor blade without a result; plug wasn't popping up without a slight constriction from lowering the temperature.

Fantastic!

I tried every trick of yours, twice, and was panicking-how could I be the only one these tips weren’t working for?? On the third go-around, finally a little movement turning the cap to the left!! I’m not sure which trick worked or if it was a combo, but WOOHOO! Something did it! I did use the WD40 “Rust Release Penetrant” spray. That stuff is also a life saver-just use a lot and make sure to give it time to work. Thank you so much, Sir! You saved the day and saved untold money!
