@cherryrosh,

Use sink for only one month

@cherryrosh,

Drano for instance jumps to mind but of course Cher many drain cleaners are available. I've used such in combination with plunger. I use the cleaner first, according to the theory that if it's apparently unsuccessful then at least it loosens the clog; then later the plunger

The temptation is to plunge vigorously. In the rare case however, downstroke actually forces a pipe junction apart. So best bet might be, plunge most gently but then withdraw with utmost force

A stick of dynamite will do nicely and get a positive result every time.

Indeed Tsar if only we didn't have the possibility of substandard junctions. Perhaps in reverse mode there's a substance creating a vacuum upon ignition

Hi cherry
pour a can or 2 of Coke down the drain. Leave for an hour or two or longer if possible. Guaranteed results all the time. It has worked for me in the past

@cherryrosh,

I try the plunger first. Sometimes it clears it out; sometimes it seems to just compact whatever is the problem. Second shot is boiling water, followed by another plunging. The chemicals are a last resort, mostly because they don't seem to work without the preceding efforts.

I would be very careful about following a caustic treatment with a plunger. It's too easy to get splattered with sodium or potassium chloride. That stuff is more dangerous to the eyes than most acids.

I just saw a home remedy for this.

Pour baking soda down the drain, followed by white vinegar.

Oh gee, I have a clogged drain, what should I do? Should I call an electrician? Should I phone the Vet? Perhaps call the mechanic at the local garage? Lord knows the last thing to do would be is to call a plumber. Oh brother!

At $400 a visit, better try first to do it yourself

Of course.

Drains don't become clogged on their own.

If it's only the sink, you should examine what you're putting down there. Any fats or oils will congeal in cold conditions.

I'd try this first, you won't believe what bubbles up. Yuck, but it cleans the drain.

@jcboy,

This issue can be better solved by some professional plumbers. It is better to call them for repairing it.

There can be some problem with your water supply pipe. Make it checked. I also had similar problem and its working good after cleaning water supply pipes.
