Is your drain clogged? - Then try this secret plumber's trick!
✅ Is HERE something for you? ➡️ amzn.to/3Hi7tEy *
When the drain in the kitchen is clogged, it's really annoying. But before you start unscrewing this one, you can give it a try with this secret plumber trick. Plumbers know this trick and actually use it in practice.
And all you need is washing-up liquid. Dishwashing liquid dissolves grease and dirt and can also free your drain. To do this, dump half a packet of washing-up liquid down the drain.
Then let it soak in for 10 minutes. Now close the plug and fill the entire sink with hot water. When it is full, open the plug so that it begins to drain. When all the water is gone, you should run hot water again for a few minutes.
Now your drain should be really nice and clear and will drain really nice again in the future. And all without you having to unscrew the drain.
So if your drain also drains badly, then definitely try it with this trick once!

I've worked as a drain tech for 7 years and still do. One of the main reasons for sink blockages is dish soap building on top of existing buildup like grease. Dish soap is almost as bad for your drain as grease itself. Even if hot water trick works, you'll be backing up again within a week. There is only one way to do it right and that is to install a cleanout under the sink and auger/snake the pipe. Once flow is achieved, you run hot water and snake again. This is the only method that will last.

I have a bathroom tub that drains slow (and clogs often) where the idiots before me actually have TWO traps...which makes it impossible to snake out. Any ideas how to keep it unclogged? I used that 10 minute clog remover by ZEP...and do that for several days and it usually gets things flowing ....for only about 2 months tops....and that's ONLY if I do the treatment daily for about 1.5 weeks. Help! By the way, the only access to the traps is they would have to rip out a section of my front room ceiling to gain access to the traps so they could blow-torch them out.

@Igoriann Жыл бұрын

@dancalm peaceful these products will do nothing to hair which 99% of the time is the reason for bathtub/shower backups. Two traps should not be a big problem unless the house is super old and it's brass traps. I suggest renting a snake with foot pedal that controls the drum so you can use both hands to feed the cable. Also make sure you take the overflow cap off and snake from there and NOT from the actual drain itself. Let me know if you figure it out. If that doesn't work, get back to me.. there are other solutions but not convenient. You can cut into ceiling to acces the traps, however I don't think there should be any torching involved. Any pipe can be cut

@Igoriann Жыл бұрын

@KBR my friend and I did a test, we put hair in drains for a month, didn't do anything to it. 99% of shower/bathtub blockages are hair. If you achieve flow with drains, all you did is you removed the soap that was stuck in the hair.. so won't last long. You're right about doing it right. Drywall is cheap and repiping should be relatively easy. This whole torching stuff is fishy to me though.

My kitchen sink had been blocked for a while. Tried a plunger, Mr Muscle sink unblocker, boiling hot water, but nothing worked. Last night, after seeing this video, I thought I'd give it a try. Before bed, I squirted some washing up liquid down my sink hole, woke up this morning, boiled a kettle and poured the boiling water down the sink. Ta da! No more blocked sink. It's worked wonders!! No need for expense plumbers and other gadgets and gizmos.

There are actually tiny plungers designed specifically for sinks. I didn't know that until I saw them in a hardware store while looking for something to unclog my drain. For it to work you must put enough water in the sink to cover the plunger and cover up any other openings in the sink (such as the overflow drain).

Even better you can put a rubber cup plunger over the drain hole while the sink is filling, then raise up & thrust down 5 or 6 times to create a pressure surge in the drainage pipes which will help shift stubborn blockages.

A large, heavy plunger and a kettle of boiling water have worked in all the different drains so far.

Been doing this for years. Dish soap is designed to breakdown grease but it won't do squat for hair though. In the kitchen I use about a half a bottle of Dawn and then about an hour later I follow it up with a kettle or two of boiling water, works like a charm. I do this once a year when the sink drains slow. This works so well plumbers in the UK tried to have the government stop the practice by, get this, saying it caused severe damage to the pipes. Government responded by saying only damage was to your wallet and get over it.

just vinegar (boiling) with soap. Don't do both baking soda with vinegar since they cancel each other out. Also vinegar is quite weak and most likely won't do much. Although boiling the water out for a sustained period will make it stronger. Something stronger like 25% hydrogen peroxide would be more useful, or something like lye or soda ash (sodium carbonate) although be careful since these products are also hazardous.

I have a single drain/disposal and at times it seems like the water goes down slow. When that happens I occasionally pour about 1/4th cup of dawn soap(the blue color) in the drain before I go to work and let it sit for 8 hours. When I get home I notice that the water goes down much faster.

@rocroc Жыл бұрын

I do the same with Dawn as well. Just pour it in, run a little water and leave it soak. I go back later and run hot water repeatedly. Wouldn't hurt to compress the drain with a plunger if you feel it is really sticky. Same with the toilets. I also add bleach pellets/bleach water to the drains including the toilets. Don't know if that helps but I believe it reduces buildup and improves any odor you might have. My wife used to do all of this without ever asking for my involvement. So, I have had to learn some things and am still learning. RIP

I'm not a plumber but in my experience as a home owner, the majority of the time a sink is clogged it is due to build-up in the "P-trap". With most modern plumbing it is quite a simple job to unscrew the "P-trap" and douche the sink drain pipe and the elbow which usually have hair and soap build-up which leads to the clog.

@robertescobar535 10 ай бұрын

That may be the case the majority of the time, but after two atempts I found that it was beyond p- trap because in the first place the p-trap main purpose is to retain a certain amount of water that acts as a barrier to prevent the smell of sewage gases from escaping from the drain and into your kitchen or bathroom, moving forward I went to the roof vent, it onky took two tries with a mannual hand snake, haven't had a problem since the roof vent was magic, the p-trap was not the easy fix most hope for.

I’ve always used baking powder and vinegar combo. Shake a few tablespoons of baking powder down plug hole, then SLOWLY pour in vinegar. You’ll know when to stop as the acid / alkaline combo fizzes, burning thru any crap that’s in the drain. Leave for 30 mins then pour a kettle’s worth of boiling water in.

I always use washing up liquid in my kitchen sink by pouriNg it into the drain leave it a few minutes then use hot water to drain it all the way out of the system and it clears the drain but I repeat it again if there are still some signs of slow drain a little bit. It helps each time but sometimes I might repeat it just to make sure most or all that might remain in the drain is gone

Nothing will work for very long, except for taking the drain apart and cleaning it out thoroughly. That’s how you get it flowing. The hot water and baking soda and all those other techniques are just temporary and only get it flowing for a short period of time but it’s soon plugs up again. At least that’s what I have found.

My plumber recommends giving a quick short squirt of dish soap in drains (and toilets) at the end of the night about once a week and/or if you're not going to use the drain for awhile. It definitely breaks down the grease and gunk in the lines.

1/3 cup baking soda into the drain. I push it downward with my finger to make sure in gets into the pipe. Pour about a cup of white vinegar into the drain. It will bubble up. I do this twice, only using less baking soda the second time. Also, less vinegar. Leave it like that for about five minutes. Then pour a pot of boiling water down the drain. It has never failed , however, as soon as I notice that the drain is slow, I perform this process.

Yes, I had a toilet that was unmoveable even with a professional quality snake, big plunger, and one of those TV commercial tools. I did a third of a bottle of dish washing soap and left it for a day. Magic happened. Used it once since with same good results.. I like the baking soda/vinegar but that is a bit risky if you sink or bowl is near the rim full.

Great solution. On another hand , i always clog up my toilet ( i have very hard stool , sorry to be graphic ) anyway , i found out that if i have " a lot " of ( fill in the gap ) I fill up a bucket or an empty medium sized trash can with hot water , then as you're flushing , POUR the hot water in while you're flushing , and do it FAST ( just don't overflow it ) .You can also do the same thing if your toilet is already messed up or flushing very slowly or incompletely. It works wonders.

It does work, but the way I do it is slightly different. I boil a kettle and two pots of water. I put three tablespoons of dish detergent down the drain and three tablespoons of detergent in each pot. Then I pour the kettle and the pots down the drain and it's clear... do this every couple of months and never pour grease down the drain.

I can see this working for the kitchen sink, where most of the clogs are probably due to a buildup of grease (with other things trapped in it). It seems like periodically using a lot of hot water in the sink might help prevent the pipes from getting clogged. I also try not to pour grease down my sink (and if I wash something really greasy, I run a little extra hot water). For my bathroom sinks, I plunge it from time to time (before it gets clogged). This pulls up a lot of nasty, black crud, which I remove and throw away. I suspect most of that is a buildup of shaving cream, toothpaste, and maybe hair, etc. For the shower, I think most of the clogs are from a buildup of hair. I've found that occasionally applying Zep's 10 Minute Hair Clog Remover (it comes in a big red bottle) works really well to keep the drain flowing. Zeps formula uses enzymes that are specially designed to break down hair. I carefully pour in the recommended amount, wait 10 minutes, then run some hot water to make sure that I rinse it away from the floor of the shower. Later, when I use the shower, I can hear a difference as the drain has less blocking it. Thank you for this new trick! I adore my plumber, but I can't afford to use him often.

So, the grease doesn't go strain down your sink people, it builds up on the 90° angle under your sink, then the grease catches everything in your piping and clogs it, throw your grease outside, trust me, I'm a pipefitter.
