Unclogging A Central Vac 

Thank you. I have a snake that I used for unclogging water pipes and gutters. I did exactly as you done here and voila... success! Thanks again!

Identical issue, I will hopefully conquer this in the morning (since it’s about 2am) I know this video is older but I am glad I found these videos on Yt. I will post back during the day! It is either some dog bisquit pieces or wet baking soda that dried up like concrete eek!

Nice work! Good ol' trusty snake to clear a clog; one of the only downsides to a central vac system. Thank you for your time; you and family have a Merry Christmas.

Thanks so much... tried from the inlets with no luck... so I tried from the outlet that is in the bucket... got a big chunk of clogged stuff... worked like a charm after that.... thanks again

My wife sucked a yellow rubber glove into the central vac. Stuck in the hose about 10' down. Tried to push it out with 3/4" Pex. What a nightmare, it is really jammed in there! Might need an industrial auger. If I get it out she owes me big time.

So satisfying that you got it! Funny I nearly got that at the store. I have a plumbing snake but full size. Ill try again switching between out central vac and then the other vac my husband has a shop vac. If I can still not get the clog, ill try your method Thanks!!!!😊

Thanks, Rob. One of the three vacuum points had low suction. The snake did it!

Thank you so much. Helped a lot

Thank you so much!

You have more suction than I have. I have ZERO suction. I think my hose inside the wall is filled with soil. How do I get that out?

Just got back from a customer's house, guy did this and it knocked a fitting on the pipe loose in his finished basement ceiling...

Don't forget to change the filter bag

have you ever had to get a sock out. i was cleaning under the bed took off the brush and accidnetly sucked up a sock now that one outlet will not work

thanks for the tips!

Was that a mouse that jumped out near the end ? Thanks for the tips.

Do you recommend the skinny snake one?

You can also try to hook up a shop vacuum and back suck the clog out (try for a good seal at the valve)....... Your best investment is to hire a professional installer with a track record of good reviews ----- a well installed system should not clog unless you vacuum up something silly like a suck, syringe, tea cloth, bra, pen, pencil, battery,
