Sandy Bathroom Sink Clog

[@aaronsherwood4835]

Another one bites the dust great work

[@thehandymanexperience226]

Woooo !!! Thanks!!

[@cavscout888]

Can also say, the Menards lye product also removes paint from drains. I poured some straight from the can down the sink where it hardened and made a clog in a sink that had some drainage. Stopped hard and had to let it resolve itself. May have affected sink's surface too. Lesson learned... mix into water before pouring into drain! Project Farm tested lye as a drain unclogger, and it doesn't affect PVC or do anything to metal or rust. So that's good, quite safe to use in that way.

Yea I burned a sink and I was able to scrub it clean , crazy stuff!!!

[@even0dds585]

Awesome, tiny plunger to the rescue! I absolutely was not expecting that bucket to collapse like that😮 neat! I hear Santa brings him paper towels for Christmas.

[@billyc5010]

I just did 2 yesterday that came with those metal retainer clips. The new pop up stoppers are the way to go...Game changer

[@TheAxecutioner]

i agree with you but also, the pop ups seem to clog easier

[@thehandymanexperience226]

@@billyc5010 I love the new one that just that just click down and click up and they pull right out. But I could see what the axecutioner is saying. I hate the pop up for shower drains!!!

Nice job!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@thehandymanexperience226]

Thanks Vince!!!

i think that snake went across the street to a neighbors house and she is calling a plumber about funny noises in her pipes !! lol lol lol

[@thehandymanexperience226]

Hahaha 😆 😂 😆 sounds like me for sure!!!!

[@MattHmm-rq6dn]

You took the plunge 😆. If you ever find yourself without one of thoes clips a zip tie works great too as silly as that sounds.

[@thehandymanexperience226]

Yea and I have alot of the zip ties too!

[@r.jsmith8979]

Dude! I don't know why I enjoy watching you, but I do! It's just funny without you trying to be funny. Keep doing what u r doing.

[@thehandymanexperience226]

Yea I don't have much of a filter ha it just comes out! Lol thanks, will do!!!

[@EWB66]

The people knew that you were coming. They should have been considerate enough to empty under the sink before you arrived.

[@EWB66]

I've been down this road before The fine dirt and sand you are seeing is from someone using that sink to water a plant. The dirt comes out of the bottom of the plant container when you water the plant. The correct way to water a plant is to put a little tray under the container and put the water in the tray. The plant will suck up the water. If you water from the top down, the silt goes down the drain.

[@thehandymanexperience226]

Lol they never do! But u know what the real question is why do I keep forgetting to ask them to clear it out for me on the phone before I go !!

[@garyg8036]

I've used those metal v-shaped clips.

[@thehandymanexperience226]

I wonder if they have a boxed version 🤔

[@patrickdavis3409]

That goes into the cast iron vent

[@thehandymanexperience226]

Yea I was kinda puzzled looking at the pipes it's usually straight forward

[@tomdale1313]

thxs for sharing...

[@thehandymanexperience226]

Thanks Tom!!!

[@MattHmm-rq6dn]

That sink was a sand strap 😳. Still no rubber covers for the overflows yet I see. I just picked up 20 at the dollar store the other day thinking of you 3 for a dollar 😆. Have you seen thoes sink bee hive plugers online they get some force when put them over the stopper.

[@thehandymanexperience226]

@@MattHmm-rq6dn gloves work just as good lol 🤣 I've always had bad luck with the beehive plunger. Is it any good?

[@MattHmm-rq6dn]

Yea the korky behive mini and max have been my go to. You can extended the bulb of the mini out put it around the drain stopper it has thrust! On bad sink clogs it does way better for me than the yellow sink plunger 🪠. There 11 bucks at hd 18 for the behive max. The only thing that sucks is you have to take some effort to clean it on the inside. You play with your wet rag or glove 😆 🤣.

[@jefffielder2429]

A flat bar with holes

[@Handymantv1]

Why you don’t you remove the p trap first?

[@thehandymanexperience226]

@@Handymantv1 u could usually just plunge it out if it's in the p trap

[@MrMjn5000]

don't ya just hate it when people have a plumbing problem and leave all their crap under the sink.........

[@thehandymanexperience226]

I do ! Tenants always do that to me!

[@mauriciorivas4674]

Lift the pop up more, is too low trust me

[@thehandymanexperience226]

Yep I do love them up higher for sure!!!

[@arndywerde9622]

Need more plunger action...videos ought to be a couple hours of just plunging and sighing, please.

[@thehandymanexperience226]

Lol yea sounds about right haha just waiting for the clog to give up the fight!!!

[@pit4955]

So what was the sand issue? Usually where there’s sand there’s a broken pipe or roots working their way into the sewer, any idea? You ended the video like a mystery with no end😂. Another unsolved clog

[@thehandymanexperience226]

Wait lol 😆 I showed that it was clear lol I just got done editing that a few hours ago!! I see what ur saying but it must have came from the cast iron pipe. I'm editing a toilet weak flush now. U got the sneak peek for tomorrow haha

[@pit4955]

@ cast iron pipe cavitation makes the the iron very soft and pitted which can lead to debris entering it from outside but we depend on your expertise why all the sand ?
