Thank you so much! I’m a woman, my husband is been working 7 days a week and still cant pay for a plumber this days😢, at this moment im very sick with the flu and dealing with a 2 yr old, I had to fix it, it took me a few tries from other vídeos but Mr pirate you explain it calmly and made this suggestion of removing the tube that connects the garbage disposal with wall, my water was going down very slowly , the disposal was working but water was staying, when I removed the tube, buala😂, all the rice I stupidly dumped in the sink was there stuck, I dont have a snake, so I grabbed the vacuum I have for water and sucked all the rice from the wall connection, it worked like a charm, thank you, im a new follower🙌👍😃

Thank you so much for this! I am a single woman with a home that I have no idea how to fix anything. I didn't have the money to call someone - and found your channel - and this very video. Because of you - I was able to take apart my kitchen pipes and find the culprit - lots of spaghetti and a plastic straw. Thank you so very much!

I'm so grateful for your guidance! My resident handyman passed away recently and needed home repairs were stacking up. This video gave me the knowledge to tackle the project myself. Problem solved thanks to your easy-to-follow instructions. Thank you so much for sharing your skill set. I'm eager to learn more from you. Subscribed!

Thank you so much for the guidance! I am completely disgusted with the gusher that came out of the P-Trap however, I feel sightly proud of my accomplishment to clean the pipes. Thanks again!

I just followed your very simple directions and fixed our clog! I’m feeling a little like a rock star, since I can’t usually operate anything but a computer…😎 Thank you!!!

Thank you so much for this, man!!

My issue was too many egg shells. My husband just went out of town, so I was a real nervous Nelly. I ended up trying baking soda and vinegar first, and that ended up fixing my problem, but I never would have been brave enough to try if I hadn't seen this video where you made it look so simple and easy. Thank you!

WOW! You were right on. Spaghetti was the enemy - I never knew it could be a problem. We watched your video, and took apart our pipes and sure enough, the spaghetti was stuck in there like concrete. Thank you, Pirate man! 😊👍🏼

Thanks. Helped much. 🙏🏾

Thanks very straight to the point! 👍

Oh my gosh!!! YOU ROCK!!! I was able to fix my garburator on my own…NO plumber needed!! 👏🏼👏🏼

thank you!!!! this was very helpful.

And this did the trick. Thank you so much!!!

Watched until 6:20, then went and did exactly as you advised, and... problem solved. Thank you. I looked like a genius to my wife and saved the need to get a plumber asap. Shiver me timbers!

Potato peelings are the culprit! Thank you so much for the easy to understand instructions on unclogging my sink!

Thank you so much for your clear instructions. I am not used to using a disposal. I have always composted but now live in an area where grizzly & wolves could be attracted to the compost this time of year so I started using the disposal but I am not really impressed with it. I was determined to solve this problem on my own & thanks to you "we" did it.

Great fix - really helped me address the issue

Thank you for your knowledge!

thank you for the video ! experienced this issue today and was able to get it remediated within 30 minutes

Thank you so much!

Good video very easy to follow

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

I’m gonna try it now. Yikes I’m worried. lol. Thanks for the great instructions

Love your pirate talk (and tips!). You’ve got that pirate-speak mastered 😂

Thank you!

Argh, Mr Pirate Handyman. Thank you kindly for your insight into me probelem. T’was grease it the P trap it was. Got it all cleaned out. You saved me the cost of a service call and I learned about the dangers of draining hamburger in the sink!

Thank you dude

very well don easy explain

Thanks Mick Foley

Good video

Watching this as my garbage disposal is currently clogged with potato peels.....lol

Wow, I just saved myself 150 bucks!!!

My issue was from potato peels also, plus onion skin. Thanks for the insight! I just had my basement snaked (massive flood) so in no way did I want to all a plumber!

Another great video. Should we turn the water to the sink off before we take apart the P trap, or is it not necessary?

I have this problem right now. I put a bowl of rice down mine. I turned my disposal on and water back washed in sink. I’m scared. I live alone so I’m worried. I’m going to try this myself.

Thanks so much! Night before hosting Thanksgiving. I put spaghetti down it and oh no!!!

Thanks on behalf of all the single ladies 🥰

Ok, I did put 2 1/2 cups of cold left over spaghetti in my disposal and it has clogged the lower part of the disposal. Is there ANY WAY I can clear it without taking all the pipes apart!? Your videos are so clear. Thank you.

I follow your direction captain, very good tutorial , but the water doesn’t drain fast from the garbage disposal sink. What Should I do . I know I need to replace the unit.

Can my problem be in the trap arm? The p trap is clear of the water but I’m back to the same problem of both sinks being clogged up

What if your sink without the garbage disposal drains fine, but the garbage disposal side doesn't? There was nothing in the P-trap, and liquid plumber didn't help.

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

My problem is not in the pipes. It is inside the disposal beneath the cutting blades. How do I take that apart.? Thanks, Joe in Punta Gorda

Mine is clogged with something, probably rice...any advice? under the sink where your disposal is connected looks nothing like mine. Any suggestions?

I went through this today. My wife put 2 quart jars of Lupini beans down the garbage disposal and said, Hon, the garbage disposal is clogged up, water standing in the sink. I asked her why she put the Lupini beans down the disposal and she said 'It's a garbage disposal, why not'? I explained that certain things do not go down the disposal very well, such as uncooked Lupini beans. I tried the plunger and a a few other things but no dice. So after watching a video (not this one) and getting some idea of what to do I lit into it. I removed the pvc pipes which were full of beans and a few other substances. It stunk like all get out. I cleaned out the gunk and flushed it down the john. Scrubbed the pvc and put it all back together. Now it works great and all is back to normal. My wife is impressed and thinks I am a real handy man. This is all good stuff to know. She also promised never to put Lupini beans down the disposal again. I agreed and asked her never to buy them again. I don't like Lupini beans.

My pipe was clean and had the outside snaked and still water backs up😢 do I need a new disposal the motors is fine and grinds fine

I took apart all my drain lines and cleaned everything out. I still have water backing up in both sinks. Could the garbage disposal be the culprit?

yarrrrr unveiled a 3-inch solidified grease plug blocking the u-bend thanks for helping me save some of ME COIN

I'm getting ready to try this, but have a question. When I turn on my disposer, water shoots out of the vent on top of my sink. Do I have some other issue going on in addition to the clog?

My kitchen sink is stopped up somewhere. My daughter and I took all the pipes loose and there was nothing in them. When there is water in the side with the garbage disposal and I turn the disposal on, everything comes up in the other sink. Then it takes a long time for both sinks to drain completely. I am wondering if there is something in the disposal that is causing this. Today is Saturday and I can’t get a plumber until Monday. Any suggestions?

I don't see eye to eye with this guy

OMG! My garbage disposal plugged up right in the middle of peeling potatoes to dehydrate. I normally don’t peel potatoes but decided to do so for dehydrating. I put vinegar and baking soda in, ran with hot water, did the other side of the sink and used a plunger......2 hours later still looking at brown water in my sink. So, i figured it was in the pipe but I thought I had to have special tools to take everything apart. I watched your video and decided to try it. I only removed the pea trap and it was full of skins. I put a brush in the other pipes....just a bit nervous to remove anymore. Now that I got it back together and everything is working, I’ll have more confidence if things run slow to remove a bit farther up the pipe trail. I’m mid 70’s, grandma of six with my first great grand baby on the way and I self cleaned the pipes under my sink! Saved me $100 or more. Sooooo happy. Thanks for your video that covered every question I would have had. 🤗

my disposal is clogged, due to an excess amount of fresh spinach I put down it. We have tried everything except disconnecting the pipes under the sink.

I've done this and snaked the pipes in the wall. Water will slowly drain but once I turn on the disposal both sides of the sink fill up with water. What else should I try? Thanks

Mine clogged after putting raw cabbage in and Iv tried everything, gonna watch this and see whats up. did this to ugh

I cleaned out my pantry and had a few cups of flax meal..tried plunging. right side ok left side disposal not ok tried hot water and instapower.. very slowly draining..

I found p-trap full of black water, cleaned it out, still have bad smell from disposal, is there a block to the sewer line?

My P trap was clean and not clogged. I still have water not draining.

Dental floss (8 inches or so) got into the disposal. Didn't see it, turned on the disposal and now it won't drain, which makes sense! I was able to get most of it out in small pieces using needle nose pliers, and I can't see any more of it, but it still won't drain. The disposal blades are not stuck. If I turn it for a few seconds, it sounds and looks normal. If I run water for 5 to 10 seconds, it won't drain. I've tried pulsing the on/off switch. I've reset the disposal and it still won't drain. What now?

What if the pipes are clear and you suspect it’s the sewer line.. how do you clear the sewer line?

Mines still backing up after doing all this I’m so lost on other options

I’m having the problem right now

Aaarrrr send the plumbers down the plank !

I guess I am the 1%, I also snaked it with a 25ft auger and still clogs after 39 seconds of running water. It does go down just slowly. No clue maybe I pushed the blockage to 25 ft. I do have about 38ft of a run to the main drain pipe. Not sure if I get a 50 ft auger or call a plumber.

My disposal used to run ,even though sink was clogged, now it hums loud what to do?

What if the water in the sink drains but slowly?

that's great for clogged pipes, but when running my disposer it fills up with water, this didn't help at all

I took off all the pipes and there was no Clog in either of the pipes. I even snaked them.... Nothing. Put them back on and still got the same result, still clogged.... Idk what to do next

YOU SAVED ME SERIOUS COIN! Of all the video's I've watched over the years for DIY fixes this was by far the best. Every single thing you mentioned, including leaving the rings loose, was exactly what happened. Now a funny story. The p-trap was packed with spaghetti, carrot peels, eggshells, and an experimental (disgusting) pumpkin soup. I'd been doing dishes while letting the water run - you can imagine how gross that 2 inches of standing water looked. Anyway, seeing the trap so clogged with food I had an immediate urge to stand up and clean it out - in the sink. The pan I'd put underneath, just like you said to do, was already full with that gross new baby poo colored water and it was a good 4 seconds before I heard plopping and splashing and it dawned on me that I can be a complete idiot sometimes and that the ground up food and running water was freely pouring all over the bottom of the cupboard and onto the floor! After starting a load orange water soaked bath towels used to sop up that mess, a 2nd cup of coffee and knowing I saved serious coin that chaos will be remembered as just a funny story. Me and my treasure chest THANK YOU SO MUCH!

My problem is beyond the p trap

Just buy a new one a lot easier
