How to unplug your kitchen sink using a plunger! Plumbing Tips!

This is a short video on using a plunger to clear a plugged kitchen sink!

[moonovermiami]

Last night my kitchen double sink clogged. Plunged it on and off for hours. Gave up, went to bed. This morning, dressed to run to store for chemicals but decided to check videos first. Your 3 min video was it!
It was difficult (70 yr old female) to hold down one side while plumbing the other, but IT WORKED after 3 tries!!! I don't know if you're still around online, but I owe you a BIG THANK YOU!! So, , THANK
I hope all is well in your life.

Spot on! Sink has been blocked repeatedly for months and for the past 3 days, it got much worse. I don't pour oil or food debris down the sink but I am in rental accommodation so probably a pre-existing condition... Poured lots of different chemicals and natural baking soda/vinegar potions with little improvements over the past few months. Just tried your method and it worked to unclog it after just 3 pull. I found that the water in the sink forms a seal around the plunger and it goes down by itself so no need to push it down, just pull. I could hear the blockage clear and the smell was a big clue!!! Then the water flowed. Perfect! Thanks so much for sharing :-D

I am so thankful to you! This worked exactly as you called it. I was plunging and plunging without applying the plug to the disposal side. I was frustrated and ready to give up. Actually I gave up until I saw several videos. Your video was the easiest to understand and follow. I had to chime in and express my appreciation for your channel.

Thank you, sir! This worked well.
Anyone who wants to do this keep in mind that you are applying pressure to the pipes below. If it is a really severe clog, you may want someone to hold the bottom pipe in place so that the pipe leading to the sink doesn't fall out.
Also, you should plunge half way then bring the plunger back to starting position on the first few plunges. It helps loosen up the stuff in there.
In other words do not go whole hog like you are plunging a toilet or you may end up with a bigger problem than you started out with.

worked great! i have plunged our kitchen sink before, but it's so rare that i always forget what i'm doing! so seeing your video helped remind me of everything, and it went smoothly as ever! thank you!

worked for over an hour trying to get my drain cleared and nothing!  watched your video, and BOOM! It is perfect now! just a few plunges and it drained! Thank You so much!

You're the man my friend, just did exactly as you instructed and I unclogged my double sink no problem, just gotta remind the do-do's in my house that not everything should be flushed down the drain! Thanks again!

Thank you so much! We were so frustrated with our clogged sink for days and were very close to calling a plumber, which would have costed us easily 100usd! Luckily I researched and saw the video. Invested in a $3 plunger instead and it works like a charm. Thank you!!

washing dishes and the water want going down. Mom was at work and in only 12. Saw this video and you saved my life. I was so scared that I would be in so much trouble. tried this and it was like iT never happen ag

THANK YOU!!! This worked perfectly!! My mom was panicking because the garbage disposal wasn't draining. We were able to get the disposal reset, but the water won't drain. She pulled up a video of a woman that showed how to disconnect the water line and pull the clog out by hand. I found your video on u tube and told her to watch it. She ran to wal-greens and got a plunger. I plunged the sink and it worked just as you demonstrated in your video. Now she does not have to hear my dad telling her, "I told you not to put to much stuff in it." Thanks again!!

Thank you so much for sharing this useful video. I did watch a couple of videos before watching yours, but nothing helped. This is a true, tried and trusted video.

Oh my gosh, I tried everything. For some reason, I kept thinking the plunger wouldn't work and kept doing rounds of baking soda and vinegar as well as other methods. Did your method and barely plunged twice. Worked wonderfully!! Thank you!

Thanks for the video. I usually peel my veggies into sink, then scoop them into trash. I got lazy yesterday and put things down the disposal that I usually don't (onion peels and egg shells.) The disposal side of the sink plugged up, and your tips worked great. The store only had the bell type and an accordion type plunger. The accordion worked. So glad I did not have to take the pipes apart, snake or call plumber. Thanks again.

You are a lifesaver! My sink got clogged the day before throwing a big house party.
Your technique worked.

I was afraid I would have to take apart the drain system under the sink.
Thank you for posting the video!

Thanks so much after fighting with the Sink for 3 days! I was finally able to unclog it today with the help of your video and a simple run to Wal-Mart for a plunger. :)
