How to UNCLOG A KITCHEN Sink The EASIEST WAY Guaranteed

[@markusss0769]

Love the 80s adult film music... But seriously, this is one of the best "how to" videos I've seen for this issue. Excellent explanations of all the options to try before calling a plumber with all the right safety tips. Fixed our sink using this advice in less than 20 minutes (not counting the time I spent watching the video). Thank you!!!

[@4ususieq]

Single Grammy here...I watched your video and got my courage up to take the pipes apart under the sink and I found the clog!! Hallelujah! Thanks for your detailed instructions!

[@Robloxian_boy123]

Thank you Sir for helping me unclog my sink. It’s 1:00am in the morning and your video has saved me from washing dishes in another sink later this morning. I can go to bed satisfied knowing I fixed it without the help of my husband. Ha! I’m very grateful to you and praising God for a fix!

[@hillsby9380]

Had a blockage in our kitchen sink and the wife was about to call a plumber when i ran downstairs and said a plumber has walked me through how to sort it. loe and behold 20 mins later the blockage was clear and the water flowing faster than ever before through the pipes. thank you soo much for the step by step in the easiest way possible to understand and follow! saved us a small fortune and youve gained a new subscriber definitely going to be checking out your other videos incase i need a little plumbing know how again in the future. much appreciated

[@RogerWakefield]

You are a true hero of the household! Keep up the great work

[@CarnivoreStork]

Roger thanks! Just moved in a year and half ago, One drain in the kitchen sink, no disposal, Remove 95% grease from going down the drain but there always seems to build up. Tried vinegar-baking soda procedure 3 times, Still keeps clogging. Tried 2 sessions of 1/2 bottle draino gel, Still slow & clogging. But the plunger was the WINNER! God Bless you for sharing your information 👍🏼

[@moniquehorsley-franklin6797]

It worked for me. I would add two extra comments. Encourage the ladies, yes you can do this. And the water won't spray out everywhere like on TV. The recommendation to go slowly made me more confident. Thanks.

[@Ooyiman]

Best DIY video I ever watched. Fixed my sink in 10 minutes with the last method

[@doriswhatley569]

Easily understood steps for removing clogs. I appreciate all the areas covered, namely garbage disposal & sink side plus pipes.

[@rcl3514]

I had to do this last night. My daughter when she does the dishes wont run water long enough after running the disposal, so naturally it blocked the p trap and the pipe from the disposal to the p trap. Only thing I did different, was to take a tupperware container and mostly empty the sink and disposal side, into a bucket first, before opening up the p trap underneath into a bucket. This way I was sure, that the bucket would hold all of the water that was in the sink, and when I broke open the connections, I let it slow drain first, so that it wouldnt splash all over. Then took each connection loose, cleaned each pipe, put it back together, then flushed it with a large bucket of hot water on each side, so I had volume and pressure, and ran some more hot water down each side to be sure.

[@beerbeforebreakfast]

Very good, probably should be a once a month job for everyone.

[@TinaICXCNIKA]

Thank you for this encouraging video. Both sides of my sink would not drain last night and after doing everything I thought I could without having to dismantle the pipes, your video gave me what I needed to clear it. It was easy and turned out to be disgusting buildup in the pipe leading to outside, BUT I DID IT! Got it cleared.

[@baku6385]

What did you do?

[@stephc632]

Thank you so much! I successfully removed a clog from my P-Trap! After watching your video I had absolute confidence I knew what I was doing. Thank you so much!!!

[@briandiaz6159]

the reset button/twisting the bottom with that tool that has been sitting there since forever really saved me. It immediately worked after having issues with standing water

[@leebygrace]

Even though it wasn’t the fix I needed this time, I still picked up a few learnings, so, I’m glad I watched it anyway. 👍🏻

[@kyraleese9884]

I like these sorts of videos. I figured it was doable, but not being a plumber myself, wasn't sure if there was something I had to watch for when taking the pipes apart under my sink. My setup is different; I have a straight pipe that runs from the disposal side to a t intersection and then the p trap. A little struggle to get the t out, but once I did, the offending bits came out easily. Saved us money and time.

[@Jaythatdrainguy]

Awesome video Roger. The only thing I would do different if I saw straws on the side without the garbage disposal I wouldn't be plunging it down. I would be taking it apart and taking the straws out. You don't want to get those jam further down. I understand you did say in the he taken down but a lot of times when you punch you'll get them in that horizontal line but it won't actually push it through to the garbage disposal and then eventually it could clog it up again. Thanks a lot!

[@KZ-ic1xl]

Roger you’re a superhero!! Thank you so much for the detailed instructions, took me 5 minutes and now I have a fixed working sink :)

[@patriotrepublic8534]

Thanks It worked on the first plunge. I had already wasted a bottle and a half of liquid plumber and drano that did not work. Well done tutorial

[@RogerWakefield]

Drain cleaners 👎 plungers 👍

[@protochris]

thank you, it worked. I did not think putting the cap over the drain would do the trick.

[@backyardstrummer3856]

Plunger on the disposal side worked for me. Had to do about 30-40 thrusts before success but beat calling a plumber

[@HomeSpaAllure]

Your comment was so helpful in helping me overcome a bad clog. 40 thrusts with the plunger did the trick, thanks for posting it!

[@blaqbassfishing]

Lifesaver!!! Thank you! Luckily the plunger worked for me but was prepared to go further thanks to your information.

[@RogerWakefield]

Glad it helped!

[@rogerpullin8997]

If it is in the wall, I have found most times you can run a garden hose up in it, wrap it with a old rag or towel, give it a blast of water, be sure to have a catch can in case it does break lose, repeat the blast a few times, if it breaks lose, let the hose run for a while, if it does not break lose, then you may need a drain snake, from one Roger to another.

[@RogerWakefield]

Great DIY Advice ROGER! I like you already

[@larrytheplumber9851]

I just use a supply line on the shut off .I have one I use just for this

[@elcordobes-i1h]

Better than a rubber garden hose, is the steel hose. You can twist it further in as they're very flexible. Also, you can see the debris attached to the ridges of the steel hose. I tried that and it removed a lot of debris.

[@davidspitzer3368]

Thank you! Plunger worked great after your great tutorial

[@grandma7277]

Great demonstration. I will be trying it any minute & hope to avoid plumber expense.

Thank u helped me out today to unclog my sink!😊

[@DAR4LIFE]

Another way to try to unclog the kitchen sink if it’s both sides that’s stopped up & you have a garbage disposal is: Plug off the basket strainer side, fill disposal side with hot water & turn on disposal while holding down plug on other side. Sometimes the disposal will force the water through the pipes & clear the blockage. It’s worked several times for myself. I’m a service plumber in Florida.

[@TimSmith-db1iu]

will this put too much pressure on the pipes? i think this method will work for me.

I've heard of people using baking soda and vinegar, pouring it in and plugging it quickly. I have not done this myself, but if I were to, I'd one-up it with diet coke and mentos. That would make a good video! 😆

Not a bad idea Ron! If it is a tough stoppage it might not be strong enough to break it. Worth a shot though!

[@kenbrown2808]

the bellows style plungers seal kitchen sink drains almost perfectly. and I like to go with more of a short brisk plunge cycle to try to break up the clog rather than trying to push it through. and with a disposal, as often as not, it clogs because people run small waste down it without cycling it. but I had one time the disposal was "clogged" because someone knocked the plug off the countertop and it landed upside down in the drain. once it was covered with food residue, it was mistaken for a clog.

1 cup of vinegar, 1 cup of baking soda, plug over the drain opening, let sit 15 mins, the follow with hot water. This usually will break up minor stuff when the plunger fails.

I just started juicing, and of course it leaves a lot of pulp. I mistakenly put the pulp down my drain because I thought my garbage disposal could handle it. I was wrong. I did try to use half a bottle of dish detergent, but that didn't help. Do you have any suggestions? BYW the garbage disposal works well.

[@iramsavir5631]

We got both clogged, tried everything, but nothing has worked so far. We removed the pipes under sink, and water flowed freely from both sinks, so we think that the plug must be past the wall. Snake could only go in up to 16 inches past the wall. I guess we have no choice but to call a plumber.
