I worked 15 years for a waste-water utility in NW Florida, mostly on pump controls, but often rolled my sleeves up and helped the lift station mechanic if he needed me. "It all washes off!" How right you are, Jim.

Hi, thanks for creating this video. I hate unscrewing the trap because I always have a hard time putting it back properly. I used a plastic hair snake on my bathroom sink and shoved it down the drain. It came back out with an ungodly amount of hair and gunk. Now my sink works great again.

what is your opinion of using baking soda and vinegar maintenance for drains... or professor amos powder for toilet maintenance. what can be done to prevent jets clogging on toilets

Susan Reynolds, I have never used any of that stuff to maintain drains or toilets. Get a good tool to open the jets up. I use a small Allen wrench. It sounds like I am breaking the porcelain when I clean them out but it’s not. I don’t recommend products being dumped into toilet tanks to clean the bowl as it seems to damage the parts.

I have a lavatory sink that backs up and might drain after a couple weeks. Could it be an air lock? And how would I fix that?
@TheGrumpyPlumber
@TheGrumpyPlumber 4 месяца назад
First thing I would recommend is to remove the pop-up stopper from the drain. Unscrew the nut and remove the lever and then pull out the pop-up and reinstall the lever. Take a long screwdriver and clean out the drain from the bottom of the sink down. Hopefully, it will just go down the drain. Now, if it doesn’t go down, remove the trap and make sure that’s clear. Another thing to check is to see if there is an overflow hole at the top of the sink. If there isn’t, that could cause a slow drain but easy to fix. Install a branch tailpiece with an 18” hose on the branch. That would act as an air vent. A branch tailpiece is what is used when hooking up a dishwasher with no garbage disposal. Very unusual to get an airlock. Even if you had one, the sink would still drain within a few minutes. Usually when this problem occurs, it’s the pop-up that is to blame. If this is not the solution, you should have the drain cleaned and vent checked. Or, take a hose and run water down the vent.

Plugged shower drain?
@TheGrumpyPlumber
@TheGrumpyPlumber 2 года назад
Lily Sunshine, if you have a plugged shower drain, you can use a closet auger that you use on the toilet. When you remove the shower strainer cover, screw the auger down through the trap and then pull it back out. You won’t believe what you caught!

Grumpy Plummer I need help. We have Low hot water pressure in kitchen only so we bought a new faucet and that wasn’t the problem. We Put new hoses under sink that came with faucet but that still did t fix the problem. Now what? Any suggestions?
@TheGrumpyPlumber

Take the aerator off the new faucet, turn water on and see if higher flow. Step 2, take the supply line off the angle stop (valve in the cabinet) and open the angle stop to blow it down (use a bucket). I think it is the low flow aerator. Third, if faucet has a pull out head then it may have a built in filter that is restricting flow. Good luck

Dick, that is some ass kicking drain cleaner. But, if that drain is a solid clog, you don’t want to use it. Got to be careful.
