How to Unclog a Bathroom Drain in Five Minutes!

A diy repair can be difficult if the clog in your bathtub or bathroom floor drain is far down the plumbing. Here's How to easily unclog virtually any drain in 5 minutes - by j-al homestudio / @j-alhomestudio5790
You need lots of volume and pressure to push through the clogged pipe. Using water from the tap helps save time and money, so instead of using a lot of cola, baking soda, vinegar or even gallons of harsh chemicals, try this method first.

[@puterimegat7]

Hey, guys. I had a clogged shower drain and this guy's idea helped me fix it. I didn't have any of the tools he has, so i just filled large buckets with water and poured them in one after another. It unclogged partially after the second bucket and fully unclogged after the 4th bucket. I, as a girl was able to fix it with this simple method. Girls, we can do it, too! Thanks for the video!

I saw this video while looking for a solution to the blocked drainage pipe in my bathroom. Thanks so much for this quick fix, I just used it and my bathroom is free of logged water.

[@5MinuteFix]

[@janongondong]

Just unclogged our drain today by using your tips with air pressure. You're a life saver!

[@weijian13]

Thanks a lot. I haven't try with bicycle tube yet. What I did was I just insert the water hose into the drain hole as deep as possible until I cannot insert further. Then just turn on the water. After few tries, the water suddenly flows through and the pipe is unclogged. Thanks a lot for the video. It really helps. 👍😊

[@5MinuteFix]

Nice work! The inner tube only helps to seal the hole around the hose. You can stuff the hole with a rag as well. Thanks for watching!

[@rico4107]

If water from the tap doesn't provide enough pressure, a tire inflator/compressor usually works. High-volume low pressure is ideal, like those pumps used in air matresses.

So meaning, talian mo lang ng bike rubber tubing sa dulo ng water hose, at ipasok buo ang rubber tube sa drain, pagkatapos paandarin yung tubig para mag create ng pressure sa loob ng drain at para luluwag sa loob? Tama ba ako?

Kung pwede takpan yung ibang butas tapos put pressure dun sa isa lang. Nangyari na rin yan samin, sa banyo namin lumalabas yung mga bara ng lababo ng kapitbahay. Hanggang sa humiram na kami ng air compressor, di ko pa kasi naisip ang method na to. Either method, just cover other passages and put pressure though one.

Chances are their pipes are linked together which is not the best design, but usually done where doubling the pipes can be too expensive. Block one of them and put pressure in the other.

Hi, sorry for the late reply. I remember our old apartment when I had an opportunity to borrow an air compressor. Even that was no use without plugging the drain with rags in the neighbor's unit. You have to close all possible pressure exits except where everything should go, pushing the clog out.
