thank you!! i’m in college and share a bathroom with one other roommate, and our sink started to not only not drain, but also started backing up gross stuff that was stuck in the pipe. it’s a saturday, so i would have to wait until monday for maintenance. luckily i found this video and it was a super easy fix!! turns out there was this sludge in the U pipe AND a huge blockage of hair like yours shown in the video. it was disgusting and smelled awful but at least it works now! plus i showed my roommate and hopefully she stops leaving her hair in the sink… because i do not want to do that again! 😭😂 thanks again for the video, it was super helpful.

My husband and I bought our first home recently and all three sinks in the bathrooms kept draining slowly. My husband is in the military so he’s at work more often than not and when he does have time at home it’s hard to get everything done. I decided to take matters into my own hands and found this video and got all 3 sinks cleaned out. Much needed because what you got out of the sink you cleaned was nothing compared to what our sinks had 🤢. Thank you so much!

@@MrKistel The downstairs sink trap was a breeze to clean but the stopper assembly + drainpipe is an old-style metal fixture that I didn't try to take apart, it's pretty well rusted and I didn't want to chance breaking it. Fortunately that sink's drainpipe is short and was relatively clear, so it was still easy to get out the gunk that was there. It's draining freely now. Thanks again !

Absolutely just de-clogged our NASTY sink drain and I feel like a superhero! This was an great tutorial for exactly our drain, and now it is running smoothly. I’ve tried Drano and baking soda/vinegar, but once I took it all apart it became quite clear why nothing would have worked. ICK! So much gross gunk. 4 years of use will do that. Glad it’s all clean now! Thanks again!

What if the sink and all the pipes up to the wall were replaced and it is still not draining?

I have a strange question what if there are no clogs in the pipes...??? I started renovation on my bathroom and the sink didn't drain well then either. I updated to a pedestal sink it has brand new pvc pipes I thought this would help but it's just as slow as before. any reason why or tips to help fix this?

@MrKistel 2 жыл бұрын
Could possibly be a blockage further down the drain piping. Might need to snake it. Most plumbers i believe have camera snakes that they can send down the pipes a long ways and investigate the blockage issue.

You might have a issue further back down the drain line. Maybe try running a "snake" down the pipe to see if you can reach and remove any blockages.

You could try an off-the-shelf drain cleaner to see if it helps unclog your sink. However it might be best to physically remove the obstruction. can you get to the trap (bended section of pipe) underneath the sink?
