have at least one small hole in the clog by using mechanical tools. Even if the drain requires two days to get empty, it's fine, as it means there IS an hole.
Boil up several liters of clean water (10 -20 liters).
drop them in the drain. ALL of them together.
Wait.
Wait.
Wait.
You'll hear a terrible sound like GLORGLE BURBLE GLAURGLE.
And your drain will be clear! :-) h t t p : / / j umpjack. wordpress. com/ 2007 / 12 /30 / lavandini-otturati /
this guy is giving terrible advice about acid treating your drain lines. as a plumber when we run our cable through a drain that has draino in it, the draino eats up our steel sewer cables. you can only imagine what that acid is doing to your pipes. dont listen to this guy, unless you want to pour your money down the drain.
Your video saved my life, my sink was badly clogged. I didn't know to block the other side when plunging - it helped with the suction. And I will take your tip on keeping it clean. Thanks.
Thanks for showing the vinegar and baking soda trick. DO NOT just buy Drano anytime you have a clog. There are better ways to do it that are not so harsh on the environment.
Not really a fixer upper person but he confirmed my efforts were correct, I just gave up too easy. I had to cover the other connected drain (this vids advice!) and used a plunger 5 more times after watching this video (total of 11 times), removing the gross stuff in-between (gag), and then a gurgle and a clear drain! Thanks Don, u da man!
no one commented so I will, thanks dude, i got about 6 inches of water in my basement right now and I didnt try the soda vinegar trick yet, thanks for that tip. You are encouraging at the end also.
Thank you so much. Things can be so simple if we all just take the time to learn. Two thumbs up.

You don't need any of this. Use the CLR plumber kit.
It is easy and non-toxic. Really, it works!

Just a note. When using the snake, pull the shit out of the pipe and put it in the garbage. Do not push the stuff further down the drain.
