GUYS, I have tried everything to unclog my basement bathroom sink. I tried even the white vinegar and soda, which seemed to open it up just a little bit. My problem was past the P-trap, after the vent pipe. Snakes wouldn't fix the problem (snake would stop). Well, I found holes in the vent pipe (metal) and replaced 6 feet total of the vent and drain piping. When I looked inside the piece of the removed drain pipe, I realized no wonder nothing I tried worked. The stuff that was in there felt more like a RUST TO METAL BOND kind of a deal. That's decades of shaving cream, soap, saliva, and toothpaste accumulation, I think! Certainly not the type of clog I expected. I expected soapy hair and toothpaste all dried up.. you know... That stuff was even difficult to remove with a hammer, but not impossible. Now if you ask me how I could have easily solved this problem, I'd bet all I own, that pouring/spraying WD40 down the drain would have done it.. Not recommending you to do this, but I can almost guarantee that WD40 will solve similar clogging problems and, in MY OPINION, using just a lil bit is harmless, but you should always do some research on this before doing anything. In my case, this issue was a blessing in disguise. I replaced a damaged vent pipe. It had so many holes in it looked like it had been used for target practice! Replaced it with a PVC one. I live in a basement. I might post a vid later...

It was difficult to remove it even with a hammer. I'm pretty sure pouring WD40 down the drain would have saved me a ton of headaches. Hope this helps somebody.

I'm a 69 1/2 year old woman, and I just cleaned my bathroom drain (or any drain) for the first time in my life. It's flowing great now, but I'm leaving my bucket underneath for now. It took me over an hour, because everything was so dirty I made two trips outside to clean things with a hose and shop rags. Two tips - it was invaluable for me that I photographed the pipes with my cellphone prior to taking the drain pipes apart. Also, I used a small, high-powered flashlight to look into the pipe that disappears into the wall - that helped too. On the negative side, I had to give up trying to reinstall the popup thingie. I have another KZbin video, just on that one thing, marked, and today or tomorrow I'll try again to connect the popup thing. For now, I'm just happy that the pipe drains again. (I tried the septic version of Draino and I tried a LOT of baking soda and vinegar before following this video and cleaning out the pipes - those other remedies did not work whatsoever). Best wishes to everyone. If I can do this, despite my age and knees that don't bend, so can you. (Oh, also - I sat on a thick pad - it's actually one of those square pads one uses to sit upon inside of boats - I've been using this same pad for work projects for at least 20 years).

This is a WONDERFUL video. I love how THOROUGH he is, he's there to do the job so well that it will be years before it has to be done again. I especially like how he uses paper towel to clear out the inside walls of the pipes and the stopper, because that's where clogs begin. THANK YOU!! About the only suggestion I would have is to show all the supplies that might be useful before we start. I always prefer to gather everything first, before starting, so I don't have to leave the "job site." And now it's time for me to roll up my sleeves and get to work on this sink of mine that's so clogged it takes hours to drain. :-)

After many different attempts, I resigned to doing it myself because I don’t like our Handyman. This video saved our lives, we can finally use the bathroom sink again. Only problem, which was of my own design, was I put the wall pipe that connects to the P-pipe in a bit crooked, so I’ll go in sometime soon and adjust that to see if it fixes the minor leak from the drain being slightly lifted on one side. THANK YOU, what a lifesaver, and not to mention amazing video!

Amazing video, saved me $200!! Called a plumber for my partially clogged sink. He quotes $250, I say nope thanks. He takes the $50 "service call" charge and departs. I think, well the area is prepped for the job anyways. Watch your video and follow step by step. Voila!! Sink is good as new, no clogging. The part about cleaning the plunger super important since in my case P trap was clean it was the stop - go plunger which was gummed up with "gunk". Thanks!

Thank you so much. I been in my apartment for 3 yrs now and my upstairs sink has been stopped up since I moved in. I have asked maintenance numerous times to come and fix it and no one never came, so I just never used it. Now I can finally use my sink😁😁😁😁

Thank you so much for this video, I was so nervous about touching the plumbing under my sink for fear of breaking it, but the idea of what a pain in the neck having to try and get my landlord in to fix it outweighed my fear. After weeks of having a stinky, slow draining sink, thanks to you and your video I was able to pull out what I thought was kayako from the grudge-it was actually a 14 inch long hair clog from the wall pipe. 🤢 But the sink is fixed and I feel more capable of taking care of my home. Thank you so much!!!!

Thank you so much! I was watching another video about how to clean the stopper but I saw how disgusting my pipe was and I thought about how my pipe was still going to be clogged. So I accidentally bumped into your video and kept going from there and cleaned all of my pipes even the drain pipe. Word of advice: When you remove all of the pipes dont use (you dont need) the zip it, the paper towel or the pipe cleaning machine in the video use a simple bottle brush (you can even get them at the dollar store) and liquid soap to clean all of your pipes and get all that disgusting gunk out. That's what i did and now my drain pipe is squeaky clean and so are the rest of my pipes. I want to add that you DO NOT REMOVE THE DRAIN PIPE, you clean it from where it is with the Tupperware under and turn the water on while you scrub with the dawn covered baby bottle brush. The gunked water will fall right inside the Tupperware.

Good job! Wish I could fix mine like I have in the past. I now live in an apartment complex and not allowed to go "hands on" with fixing anything. Only thing I might add would be for those who don't know, when reinserting pop up stopper back in place, find the hole at the stopper's bottom. As you lower the stopper down in drain, position flange with hole toward the back of sink before inserting control rod. Carefully insert rod into hole and check for proper movement of stopper befpre tightening.

Definitely unhook the drain first IMO, to try and get the hair off of the drain plug. Usually that’s the issue, and you don’t have to take apart your plumbing. If the clog persists, start undoing the trap. Saves you time and aggravation.
