If it is a bathroom sink [a really common place for this issue) go under the sink and undo the p-trap (alot of times you won't need any tools) and clear out the lines then reinstall the same as you removed this will also remove the clog (usually hair) and not push it further down the pipe 😉

It really depends. I regret deciding “oh I’ll fix that slow draining sink.” when I was visiting relatives. Took the P trap apart permanently. It was not leaking, but the chrome plating was all that was holding it together. So I had to buy the p trap kit, some gaskets, and the tools to put it all back together.
@heithyboi
@heithyboi Год назад
Using a base and a acid is counter intuitive as they dilute each other and make a salt. Baking soda by itself is better as bases tend to break up stuff that gets caught in drains better which is why drain cleaners are basic. Also the best method to clean them is to always just clean the peatrap by removing it

This is the correct solution (no pun intended). Also, to get the hair and stuff from the tailpipe (before the p trap) just use one of those long thin plastic snakes with the small hooks on each side.

Baking soda and vinegar is exactly how I unclog drains in my house. If I could add one suggestion - about 45 minutes after the vinegar dissipates, pour a kettle of boiling water down the drain. It'll clear any remaining baking soda and leaves the drains just *chef's kiss*

You dont have to use chemicals you can just do the following. Get under your sink, take the pump/pipe off, get a bowl, and clean that piece and then it will be fine. My little brother stuffed a flour and water mix in there and that makes a doughy consistency and clogged it. This worked perfectly and the drain has been fine ever since

Licensed master plumber here. If your bathroom sink backs up almost immediately when running water then 9/10 times it's because of build up on the pop-up drain. Quickest way to resolve this is to remove the pop-up and wipe clean, shine a flashlight down into the drain, you may have more debris in there. Since pop-up drain styles vary, look up how to remove your specific one on RU-vid. You'll be surprised and disgusted with how much gunk and hair gets caught by the pop-up.

I give an A for effort but that won't get rid of the problem. The issue with bathroom drains is the combination of hairs, soaps and oils from The body. That mixture won't get rid of all of them. Just the oils and some soap. Best to remove the pop-up from both drains. Look up how to install or remove a pop-up assembly and you'll know how simple it is. Tub drains are a little harder to clear out but can be done with your hands. A zip it is a great tool for people at home if you don't want to take anything apart. Although the tub drain you will have to take the pop up off which usually just unscrews or pops out. This method shown though is a good way to get rid of smells from you drains as well as your washer machine.

Mixing those two cancel each other out and the bubbles are just Co2. It’s not cleaning anything, if your drain is slow, 9/10 times it’s because of hair. Use a plastic snake with those sharp teeth to get into the pipe, twist it around, pull it out, clean it off, repeat until it isn’t picking anything out of the drain anymore. Had my bf do this to our drain because he has long hair. Our sink actually drains fast now

usually this happens to sinks with a stopper that is lever operated (a stick in the back of the faucet) because it requires cross bars under the stopper for it to sit on, and those crossbars are so good at collecting hair. just go under the vanity, unclip the operating lever and unscrew the cap, take out the stopper and use a tweezer to take out the chunk of hair and put everything back together.
