How do you unclog your sink?

[Heatman]

When it comes to how I usually unclog my sink or even my toilet, I'm usually old fashioned with it. The good old plumbing tools are what I use and they work just fine.



How do you go about yours?

I use a crumble like substance called lye, pour it in with boiling hot water from a pan and within a minute it's clog free.

I use a sink plunger.

I haven't used that but it sounds pretty easy and cool. I'm going to give it a try next time mine's clogged.

The plunger works quite well. We also try to prevent clogs by being careful what goes down a sink, or a toilet. We have a Pet hair drain catcher for our tub so pet fur as well as human hair doesn't go down the drain.

Takes a bit of work and you don't want to be in the area a few moments after running the hot water on it.

Thank you for the heads up tips. I will be keeping it in mind.

Being careful with what goes in the sink is the major thing that anyone should do. I prefer that instead of having to unclog it which will take extra efforts.

Unless you have something like a sieve in your sink to prevent particles from entering it, I don't see any other way of stopping it.

I am talking about having a sieve that can help in that situation. I do have one and ut helps in most cases.

Yeah, I knew that's the only way. I'm most likely going to get one for my sink too.

CLR Clear Pipes & Drains and Drano Max Gel Liquid Clog Remover have been what I use for the job. They unclog it as quickly as possible.

When it comes to a toilet clog, I tend to use a toilet plunger to unclog the toilet when it is needed. For sinks, I always keep something in to help keep sinks free from clog and clean and I tend to use that when it is needed.

I use a plunger if my sink is clogged. If it’s really bad, i’ll use draino.

Plunger is a good old orthodox tool that keeps working without letting you down.

I usually call for the service guy.
Well, I don't think I am good at dealing with pipes and I don't want to damage them.... But doing something that I am not entirely familiar with
