How To Dislodge A Sink Drain Blockage
Tom Smith, Sturgis, Sask.: “I recently tried to dislodge a sink drain blockage, but the blockage extended just beyond the reach of my 25-ft. long snake auger. Instead of calling a plumber, I bought a length of 1/2-in. dia. plastic tubing longer than 25 ft. I made an angled cut at the leading edge of the tubing and then pushed it through the blockage and into the sewer line from a floor access opening. From this point, I could either connect a hot water hose or an air compressor to the tubing, and then slowly move the tubing back out of the blockage to clear the sewer line.“This idea eliminates the need to mess with chemicals and degreasers. I paid less than $15 for the plastic tubing.”
