Most drain stoppers need to be turned counterclockwise, but some lift straight out
2-Use a wet rag or sponge to block up the overflow hole.
Plugging the overflow hole blocks off the air source and creates better suction on the drain.
3-Cover the drain with the plunger, making sure there’s water coming up at least halfway up the rubber cup on the plunger.
If there’s not enough water in the sink, add some. Be sure to stand the
plunger upright over the drain. Following both of these measures
ensures a tight seal.
4-Cover the drain with the plunger, making sure there’s water coming up at least halfway up the rubber cup on the plunger.
If there’s not enough water in the sink, add some. Be sure to stand the
plunger upright over the drain. Following both of these measures
ensures a tight seal.
5-Push the plunger up and down without breaking the seal.
Push the plunger down until it touches the drain and then pull up
sharply, but not enough to break the suction. Repeat this a couple of
times.
Warning: If you used bleach or other chemicals on the clog
first, don’t plunge the drain without wearing safety glasses.
Preferably, flush the chemicals out of the pipes. Even if it trickles
away slowly, that’s better than risking splashing chemicals everywhere.
6-Repeat Step 4 but this time, pull up sharply to release the suction.
Hopefully, when you release the suction on the drain the clog will be
dislodged releasing some of the water. If there’s no change, repeat
Steps 3 and 4 until the water begins to drain.
If you’ve tried these steps a couple of times with no progress, it’s time to pull out the plumber’s snake.
7-Remove the clog material.
After some of the mess comes up, pull out the rest by hand. Undoubtedly, most of it will be hair, if it’s a tub drain.
If any chemical drain cleaner was used to clear the clog, you must wear
rubber gloves to protect your skin when handling the gunk that comes
out of the drain.
