Thank you! I’ve seen many plumbers used this all the time. Spent 1/4 price to clear choke for a 5min job. 😅 Doing it gently is the key than using hard force causing the rubber got stuck initially.

[@ThePunggolHandyMan]

Glad you did! Good job!

[@user-zj1si8fz9h]

I never knew such a tool was available till I came across your video. I faced the same problem and solved it using your technique. Thank you so much Bro!

[@ThePunggolHandyMan]

Thanks for your support! Do check out the rest of the channel and memberships as well!

[@lavenderella]

Thank you for this informative info. Cleared this with a my broomstick. Gonna invest in your gadget.

[@jennypoh5339]

Thanks for info, have same problem, kitchen flooded 😂, just manage to clear it, using a stick. I will get a plunger just like yours.

[@ThePunggolHandyMan]

It's the best investment

[@jfree2739]

thank you i did not know that below my cooking stove there is a floor trap after staying in my house for 15years, only to realise this after removing all the pots and pants.

[@markshupe266]

i love you 😂! Life saver! Thank you

[@zackzou1441]

Thanks for demonstration

[@humbertocamacho117]

Your video was very helpful.

[@ThePunggolHandyMan]

Glad it helped!

[@Levi-hz2oy]

Wouldn't you break the drain pipe by continuously pushing that thing down with hard force?

[@chloeoki7151]

I followed the tip and used a metal pipe instead of plunger. Managed to remove 2 big balls of claylike scum. Already hit the bottom of drain but water still not draining well. I think there is more of the soft solid stuck which I could not reach . Nevertheless , it is a good tip when the clog still is not that bad. Thank you.

[@ThePunggolHandyMan]

You need the rubber disc which will force water through the pipes and push the clog away. The stick only breaks the crust on top but there is more further down

[@chloeoki7151]

@@ThePunggolHandyMan ok, will try to get the right plunger and try again. Thanks for advice.

[@chloeoki7151]

With further physical action and hot water, there is improvement. Tried the other tip of low water pressure in toilet basin tap . After removing the small rubber o ring, the flow is much better but have to mindful on not wasting water .👍

I'm so happy you found my videos helpful. Do share my video with people who need them

[@meichengngoh4303]

Where can I buy the tools?

[@Konushku]

Very informative tutorial. What if the contractor built the cabinet to have a small gap between the floor and the bottom of cabinet, and the only access is through that tiny gap under the cabinet? Did someone invent a tool for this scenario? Would appreciate your advice!

[@ThePunggolHandyMan]

Unfortunately you would have to cut the bottom of the cabinet to access this area. You can get away with a hole saw or a reciprocating saw

[@Konushku]

@@ThePunggolHandyMan what a daunting task lol. I’ll try the old fashioned way first, using my hand and a scoop. If that doesn’t work maybe I’ll just call the pros. I’d prefer not to deal with desecrating the old cabinet.

[@ThePunggolHandyMan]

If you could send a photo to the punggol handyman FB page maybe I can offer some advice!

[@ongtw89]

i use an auger

[@venkatasuryadeepvasireddy6664]

Very good. We have similar situation even after removing clog the water was coming. I thought of putting some material like putty or cement to prevent it from coming underneath. What material you prefer to put for prevention of water

[@ThePunggolHandyMan]

Thank you for your comment clog is even worse. Please call a plumber to clear. This should not happen

[@venkatasuryadeepvasireddy6664]

@@ThePunggolHandyMan actually we called him twice both of time he came and cleared clog. The sink drain pipe is not down it equally vertical to the floor so water will be coming without any clog and entire cupboard basement down side has some mid going into these

Please contact me via FB for more advice 😊

Wah Liao, I think the contractor from decades ago seal it shut…. How now Sia 😢

[@ThePunggolHandyMan]

Erm you gotta hack open a hole

[@dachee]

I do not suggest to use the plunger to force the FOG waste, ie Fat, Oil and Grase, down the drain pipe. The FOG is oil base and will float. It will also solidify and will not flow with the water down the drain. What could happen when you force the FOG down, is that it may breaks up and gets stuck at the S-section of the drain pipe which you cannot reach, though it may let some water pass. With this, you cannot pressurised the water in the pipe with the plunger anymore to move the FOG. With time, more FOG will build up at this point and it will not be easy to DIY without having the proper tools, like the declogging machine. To avoid this, it is more effective to scoop up the FOG with a ladle or bent spoon tied to a rod. Sometime, the FOG may get into the drain pipe from the sink. If this happened, you can insert a water hose with running water from the large pipe into this small pipe to physically break (by moving the hose in and out) and flush the FOG into the larger pipe for removal. Just my 2 cents.

[@ThePunggolHandyMan]

Love the input! Thanks for the perspective!

[@joshyong7318]

Hi, what if my neighbour downstairs complain about the loud noise? I ever heard my upstairs pipe kept on pushing (not sure what plunger they use) the U pipe. It was so annoying and took a long time before they quieten down.

[@ThePunggolHandyMan]

@@joshyong7318 they should not be doing it every day..

[@ryanpai18]

Thanks a lot for the demo. Really appreciate it 😇 Liked and subbed. I managed to follow the steps and unclogged the pipe. However I dropped the small plastic floor trap filter into the pipe while trying to put it back. Should I be worried? Will it cost more chokes in the future or are the pipes big enough for the filter to drain down to the sewers?

[@ThePunggolHandyMan]

Yes it will trap more dirt and cause a clog! Try to use long tongs or a hook to pull it out. Or if your hand is skinny enough, reach in

[@xnjt9986]

Where do you find the floor trap under a sink cabinet?

[@ThePunggolHandyMan]

Hi some times the floor trap is located around the kitchen or service yard area

[@dianistiqama]

Hi! What if I do not the equipments as mentioned, will baking soda and vinegar works? Where do input it? The trap below the kitchen sink,.or the sink? Appreciate ur kind response!

[@ThePunggolHandyMan]

Please watch this video. B & V is not a good solution kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIXSfoykidugo7ssi=tqp92ih8_Ds6Yj7H

[@Alexseehp]

Hi brother, can check with you. can we cut the drainage pipe shorter?

[@ThePunggolHandyMan]

Umm I don't understand

[@trevorbelmont4633]

Isnt that not advisable? Forcing it might burst the P-trap down to the unit below?

[@ThePunggolHandyMan]

Your pipes are quite durable but don't use too much strength

[@shyean]

i have cleared the floor trap. However when i turned on the tap, water is still flowing slowly and coming out under the sink cabinet. Do you have any advice?

[@ThePunggolHandyMan]

The clog might be further down. Once you've reached thisnpoint and its still clogged, you gotta call a pro

[@gohsoonheng9598]

what if the plugger head break off from the handle in the trap and get stuck

[@ThePunggolHandyMan]

Wah... er I've never had that happen but if it does u need to use your hand to pull it out

[@noreffendy737]

Y r u put mask on?

[@ThePunggolHandyMan]

I mean sewer gasses. Mold. Bacteria in drains. you don't know what you are breathing in as you open that hatch. I can understand the apprehension and stigma around wearing a mask during the COVID-19 pandemic, however dont let that cause you to avoid wearing a mask in situations that actually require it. It's still personal choice and safety.
