Skip ahead to 6:25 to get past the B.S.

Had the exact same issue ... I used a wired hangar.... Problem solved!

[@upinarmski]

I get what you are saying my friend, I'll give the wire a try or a small chain with a hook.

[@MrLouisajr]

I have this problem now. My barrel is stuck. The plumbers I called broke the barrel off and then told me it was unfixable and gave me a $200 bill. It's true when you get old, people take advantage of you. I call another LICENSED plumber today and I'll show him this video if he tells me its not fixable. Thanks.

[@bige7904]

This was horrifying work!!!!!

[@MrLouisajr]

Well I got the barrel out (not in). I was lucky but I give credit to my steamer and I spray steam down the drain and it loosen up. I am surprise that these plumbers do not have an inspection camera with them. Mine did and it made a difference.

[@microwave221]

Oh, maybe l should try steam too. Was soaking with CLR for a few hours yesterday and was gonna try to twist it with a long sprinkler key like l saw someone else do. I've already got a steamer, so worth a shot at least

[@georgejesson1944]

So the stopper and the head of the snake was in the drain pipe, how was he able to get the snake pass the broken off head and the stuck stopper?!

[@theruless4079]

exactly ???

[@absolutemeow]

Agree. Horrific video. More problems and no solution. He probably wedged the stopper over with the snake and that’s how they got better drainage but still not draining like it should.

[@Kissmyassfoe2004ever]

That happened at my place and I have no idea how to get it out there’s a plumber going tomorrow and I am scared what he’s gonna charge me to fix it

[@TheHolyCowl]

Nice, makes the problem worse and probably charges over $200. He broke the stopper while plugging the drain and made no attempt to fix that problem. I'm not even sure how he was able to snake past it to get some drainage? But will clog again quickly with the limited drain opening.

[@hottuna076]

Not really how are you removing the plunger from the waste? I usually took a wire and was able to grab the plunger after time. What did you do?

[@Shammer1]

Yeah why he snaking it like that why not pull out the barrel

[@TheHappyDIYGuy-ri8nb]

This is shit, he did nothing but get the plunger stuck in the drain, he fucked up and did not take care of the problem.
