Plumbing snake tools to unclog a sink drain.

How to do-it-yourself instructional on retrieving jewelry or other valuables lost down the drain. Alright, today on Repairs101 I’m going to show you what you can do if you’ve gone and dropped a valuable piece of jewellery down the kitchen sink — or any other sink, for that matter. I’ll show you a couple of possibilities. Alright, I’ll try and keep this as quick as I can and apologies for the static camera angle. Let’s do a little zoom in and see what we can do to make this a little more interesting. OK. Here on your left there is a sink. Just above my head here is another sink. We have some down pipes, some elbows. Here’s a water trap, comes up and joins the tee junction that joins the two down pipes from the two sinks and here’s another drain from the dishwasher right there. Dishwasher right here drains through this hose right here and just tees into this pipe right here, again through the tee junction into the water trap or elbow pipe, if you prefer, and out through the wall and down into the sewers. So you’re going to need a container like a bucket to catch the water that’s going to come out of this. You might be lucky and you might have some new plastic pipes like this that are easy enough to just crack by hand and you don’t even need any tools but… There are a lot of options available to you, as far as what you can use to open up that elbow joint. This pair of Channellocks here might be kind of overkill, they’re quite something. Just any ordinary pair that you …
I had to remove a clog from a drain and used a motorized snake in order to run a 75 foot snake into the drain. I got the clog out and the drain works now, but the motor completely died when it was about 60 feet in the drain. I can’t manually pull it up and I have unplugged it and tried the reset button multiple times. How do I get it out? The tool rental department that I rented it from had no clue so I am completely lost. Please help! Thank you!
I began snaking my kitchen sink. It picks up two apartments below on the way to the stack. The downstairs apartments are draining well and as I have now exposed the pipe I can SEE the snake inside the drain pipe all the way to the stack. The clog seems to be between my apartment and the one beneath but why can I see the snake yet water will still not drain? I also snaked the vent. I’m at a loss
I want to put an additional sink across the kitchen from the main sink. The drain pipe is up in the joists under the kitchen and I would have to cross the joists to connect to it. I don’t have enough room to tilt a 10ft solid piece of PVC but could snake and pull a flexible pipe if such a product exists. Does such a thing exist?
If I encourage it with the plunger, it drains fast until the water is gone. When I turn on the tap again, the drain is slow again. When I disconnect the drain, the sink drains into a bucket fast. When I took out the trap plug, it drained fast. Put it back together and then it’s slow once again.
Please don’t say "Call a plumber"; I get that. I just wanted to know if anyone has had a funny slow drain like this before, where it will drain fast if it gets a sinlge pulse with a plunger then return to slowness.
It’s a bathroom sink with 1¼" drain line. It was no Niagara Falls before, but it takes almost a full minute to drain a gallon of water. I agree with the vent comments but I’m not sure what to do about that. I already put a shop vac down the drain to see what would happen (nuthin). Hard to believe it’s a clog since one tap with the plunger makes a gurgel then the water flows fast. Thanks for yuor comments so [Except one ;o) ].
Well the plumber came by, gave the pipe a good cleaning with the snake, checked the vents and wound up putting my little set of pipes back in. He had never seen anything like it in 14 years, so the next step is to open up the wall or…just put up with it. He thinks there might not be enough slope in the pipe; but it drained before.
Thanks for your help!
Drano and other products do not work. A snake does not work either. I put food down the drain and it is stuck somewhere where we cannot get at it.
We did take the pipes off under the sink and they are not clogged.
Once the plumber had to come here and do something on the roof.
Without calling a plumber, that I cannot afford, how do I unclog the drain. Thanks
