Is Thanksgiving dinner almost ready? But now you have a clogged sink, don’t worry you may be able to clear it before dinner starts. Here are some easy steps to get it done fast:
- Don’t add anything more including Draino to your drain, many drain cleaners are harmful to people, your plumbing and can make the clog worse.
- Do you know what clogged it? (Many vegetable peels or pasta’s can clogged the drain quickly, but can also quickly be cleared out. Vegetable peels can be used for helping your garden, click here, instead of clogging your sink next time.)
- Is your garbage disposal still working ok? (This may tell you that the food has passed through the disposal ok)
- If the drain under the disposal is clogged, and your comfortable working on plumbing pipes, get a bowl or bucket under the sink drain area, for any water that may drip down.
- Open up the U shape drain, this is where you may see the lump of food, be careful it can be dirty and stinky.
- Clear out the food out.
- Replace the pipe, just as it was and be sure you have no leaks when the water runs through the drain.
- Now go enjoy your company and dinner….and be the hero!!
