Fixing A Clogged Bathroom Sink Drain: DIY Tips And Tricks
Yo, listen up. We all know how annoying it is when your sink or washing machine drain gets clogged up. Ain't nobody got time for that! Lucky for you, I've got some tips to help you clear that mess up quick and easy.
How to easily and quickly clear a clogged bathroom sink drain
First up, we got the clogged bathroom sink drain. This is a common problem that can often be fixed without calling in a plumber. Check out this image I found:
So, what do you do? Simple. Get some baking soda and vinegar. Pour a cup of baking soda down the drain, then follow it up with a cup of vinegar. Cover the drain with a plug or cloth, and wait for about 5 minutes. After that, pour hot water down the drain. Boom! Your drain should be cleared up.
How do you unclog a washing machine drain?
Next up, we got a clogged washing machine drain. This one can be a bit tricky, but fear not, I got you covered. Check out this image:
First, you need to unplug your washing machine. Then, you gotta locate the drain pipe at the back of the machine. Get a bucket ready, 'cause you're gonna need it. Disconnect the drain hose from the back of the machine, and aim it into the bucket. Let any water still in the machine drain out.
Next, you need to clean out the hose. You can use a plumbing snake to remove anything clogging it up. If you don't have a snake, try using a wire hanger. Once it's cleared, reattach the hose to the machine and plug it back in. Test it out with a load of laundry and see if the problem is solved.
Drain on double sink is clogged (Draino not working). How do I go about
Lastly, we got a double sink drain that's clogged up and even Draino ain't cutting it. No worries, fam. Check out this image:
There's a few things you can try here. Get some gloves and a bucket ready. First, try using a plunger on one of the sinks. If there's too much water in the other sink, cover it up with a towel.
If that doesn't work, remove the trap under the sink. It's the U-shaped pipe that connects the sink to the drain. You might need a wrench for this. Put the bucket underneath to catch any water, and carefully remove the trap. Clean it out, then reattach it. Test it out and see if it worked.
If all else fails, you might have to call in a plumber. But hopefully, one of these methods worked for you.
So there you have it, folks. Some simple and effective ways to clear up those pesky clogged drains. No need to stress and no need to spend unnecessary money on a plumber. Give these a try and let me know if it worked for you.
