hi i'm from starterhome.net and that itis not ever do a quick video today who be women especially who may not know thismay be senior people who don't know how
where to rent a drain snake, to do this little trick but they cansave you a lot of money probably may be potentially hundreds of dollars byhaving a plumber come up to your host to unclog your drain but what we're doing is just showing how to unclog a drainclog upstairs so we were getting a backup of water into our bathtub and wehave a kitchen sink and we have a
bathroom sink over there so you can seethe lines coming down they go into the main line and then this line here runsall the way down and goes over there into the stack and goes out and andpushes your dreams and other waste and water goes down the drain now what youcan do is you can go get yourself a couple simple tools i would recommend abucket bucket to catch any excess water bucketmaybe some old towels maybe a shopping bag or couple shopping bags and you needto get one of these it's an auger they hold a plastic drum offer you canusually get them i like home depot home hardware here in canada or any of thosetypes of plumbing supply stores you can
also order them online i'll leave a linkbut anyways you need that that's what i believe is 25 feet long i think it costme 16 bucks at the time but they're great to have this is kind of the samething that a plumber would use if he came over to unplug your pipe that allyou need to do is go up here with the suppliers i don't have the money nowthat there's a set of channel locks you would put on here this is your p trap sothis is the drain that was backing up this is the train from our bathtub whichis over which is above this so we were getting water backing up from there itwas coming all the way back into a bat that is obviously something stopping thewater from going down this mainline and
going into the stack so all you do isget your channel to channel locks or i like pipe pliers or whatever losing your p trap speed trap catcheslarger objects so if you dropped your ring done the same for you droppedheavier objects down there that you didn't want when your kids drops a smallplastic toy down the drain its gonna catch it in here before it goes and getsjammed in this line down here goes into year money for smaller pipes so what youwould do if i would put the bucket underneath and get the channel locks putit on there but a crip loosen the p trap
i've already clean this up but i'm justdoing this for demonstration purposes catch any water that dripping out to itslow so that's a tip for you is that i would lose in this slow have your bucketunderneath to catch the water to let your make sure your your lines are clearso you're not opening this fast and water come splashing all over you because there can be quite a bit ofwater in these types of a short run here this is a short little pipe close to mystack you might have double that she might have five times this ten typistthe thing is that you need to be the length based on your length of pipe thatyou need to go through so anyway should
take this off like i said it's alreadycleaned out i've already done this you would catch a wire and i would then take the auger but itup in here you can see the agra has an end at spiral its spring in with a hookand the other is also flexible because of spring material so this thing linesin there and it cleans your pipes as a page you feed it through and it alsocatches things that hair and debris can see this has caused some hair that'sbeen building up in the pipes that's the problem with ours is that it was chunksof hair from taking showers and and whatnot and then you get soap scum andyou get grease and things going on here
drains and i just collects it creates abig block away you can do this yourself the plumber came out they probablycharged a couple hundred dollars for this small run right here you can dothis yourself so you just lose in this off a bit this in this key feature outin their beds here to go through so sometimes it gets a little tough so iusually feed so much as i think like that and i like it that you grab it and turn it and move itaround move it and keep turning it to you get the steel lying the armor lineto go through when it'll work its way up around those pipes and through thosebentz once you get warrior you know
you're in there so far that just passedsome men's release this not too much like it and they do the same thing justturn it turn it turn it up pressure up late pressure and just keep churning andletting it work its way through and eventually to work its way through allof these these bands in these locations and you might find yourself coming to anobject you just keep turning it and working it turn you pull it out locket pull it out have gloves have youknow i wear protection splashing yourself in the face a strong stomach issometimes she gets a nasty things covered by anyways you do that you pullit out clean your other been off i'm
fortunate to have seen career just runsome water on it at all pull the hair off whatever is on therethat's blocking it and then repeat the process until you know you've made it asfar as you can go until your lines feel like they're clear and you should hearthat auger line slapping against the pipes as it gets cleared cause itactually works its way around kinda like a spiral and it just cleans the greasein soap scum and different things off your pipes to let it be cleared outthere when you're done that would put the cap back on put it on ice and snowwhen you snuggle up with the players you don't want it to leak so you would handtighten it may be and then give it a
couple's estate turns with the channel locks and then goup and test year while you run some water through pipes maybe have somebodyin the basement just to watch you not getting any leaks but just ran somewater flush it through his see if you
fix the drain clog problem so that simple thing youcan do for yourself to say herself probably you know hundreds ofdollars again it's gonna be based on how long they have to go but easy thing youcan do so hopefully you found that helpful and you can check out thewebsites that are starterhome.net
