    @CS-jr6ux2 years ago Love people like this on YouTube who you can trust and who are giving helpful information. There is so much to keep tabs on now days and I don't care who you are, you're not going to know how to do it all, car maintenance, plumbing, electrical, fixing a mower, finance, computers, etc. I want to say thank you for posting helpful videos and helping people so they don't have to go broke paying someone or get taken advantage of someone. Also, just giving the general knowledge for basic work like this is golden when you have a home. ... 7

    @ellenstyles50565 years ago Grateful Mom! In my gut I knew this was our problem which occurred last night after trying to use the disposal for sweet potato peels. Nothing we did from the sink side helped free anything in the drain. Reset button didn't pop, wrench twisted on bottom of disposal freely, water was spinning in the sink but not going down. I watched this and a few times you make it seem so easy. I had my 15 year old son watch again with me and he was game to try. I nervously geared up. We completely successfully found the ground clogged mess in the "P" trap, as you called it. My son had fun finding it and helping me fix our problem vs calling in a company I don't know and who knows how much it would have cost. On limited funds I am so grateful for this video and hanging on to our $$. ... 10

    @cmeadows35605 years ago i’m a single girl and took all the pipes apart AND got them all back together with no leaking afterwards!! sadly though, whatever it is, is down the line....filled the farm sink up then let it all out hoping the force will push it out to the street. FINGERS CROSSED!! but, thank you SO very much -i try to do anything around the house that i can and your video totally gave me the confidence 😊 it was so easy and all the tips kept everything dry and clean. THANK YOU! ... 39

    @JodiHummer3 years ago This was HUGELY helpful to me, not only for the "how to" but in giving me the confidence to try it on my own. I can't thank you enough. The clog was in the P trap and I'd have never known how to comfortably get to it (let alone without making a mess!). Problem now solved! ... 26

    @sarahpatrick14392 years ago I’ve been seriously thinking about becoming a plumber. I’ve been doing some research and came across your channel. Then all of a sudden, this single mother of two with a deceased husband and no one to call, had her kitchen sink and dishwasher both stop draining. So to your channel I went. your video helped me. I fixed it, had fun doing it, and I feel pretty damn good about it. Was this a sign that I should follow through and get a job as an apprentice? Well, i don’t know, but I’m gonna take it that way! ... 11

    @kellyn19705 years ago OMG!!! Thank you so much, Roger. I followed your steps and I cleared my drain in under 5 minutes. What really helped me was your instructions on where the clog could be located. That saved time!! Thank you very much! I don't know if you have any videos on fixing a leaking bathroom sink, but if you could make one, that would be spectacular!!! : ) ... 18

    @productiveperfectionist3 years ago Roger Wakefield, you are my hero! We had a kitchen sink clog last night (whole bunch of pasta through the garbage disposal, OOPS - lesson learned), and called Roto Rooter after multiple Draino attempts failed. The guy came in, took one look at the sink, did not check any pipes and quoted us $400 to snake the drain. NO WAY! I knew there was help on YouTube, and there you were. This video was clear, helpful and 100% right. Pasta was choking the P-trap and we had it cleared in five minutes. For FREE. YOU ROCK! Do you accept tips?? Venmo, PayPal, other?? ... 2

    @515151jd3 years ago You just saved me from calling a plumber. Our kitchen sink got clogged, and I wasn't going to call a plumber on a Saturday evening. I watched this video and learned that the clog wasn't necessarily a complicated thing. I checked out the pipes, followed your instructions, and guessed exactly where the clog was base on what leaked when the connectors were loosened a bit. Thank you very much for the great instructions. ... 5

    @marisolnavarro58933 years ago OMG you are amazing 🙌👏Both sides of my sink were clogged so I followed you instructions and found the clog. You are a lifesaver. My husband is at work and I am home with my 2 youngest. I have 4 kids total so we go through alot of dishes. Now I can cook and wash dishes without any worry. I am so glad I decided to look up a video on YouTube and found your video. Other wise, my dishes would have continued to stack up until the hubby came home. ... 4

    @LivingGuy4844 years ago This was great! My neighbor asked me to come over and unclog her pipes while her husband was away, so I'm really glad I could learn the right steps before heading over.
    For some reason she looked confused when I left, but I was sure able to clean those pipes with this video!

    @HIGHLANDER_ONLY_ONE3 years ago I thought this was way too much work for me right now, so I took my small kitchen sink plunger, and it worked for me. It's good to know however, if the issue was bigger, I could come to this cowbell and fix it myself, being a busy mom. Thank you!!! 😊 ...
  • @
    @elementalsigil3 years ago Thank you for the free lesson. I had a garbage disposal fail and one of my friends put a lot of chopped broccoli down the drain. It would have made it but the downward pipe went into a straight T with a clean out on one end. With out the 45 angle to predispose the water to the correct path it would clog there a lot. I've also used Shot acid drain cleaner as well further down the line. A big lesson for most homeowners if they don't already know is to follow the disposal with lots of hot water to ensure it gets to the main line. ...

  • @
    @iammojo753 years ago Very helpful but my sink backs up on both sides when water is ran or dishwasher is ran, pretty sure its a grease problem somewhere into the wall piping. Was hoping the video would cover the best way to snake out and explain exactly what I'm snaking into most commonly so I can find out where this dang stoppage is. The sink will drain very slowly over the course of a few hours but fills right back up after water runs for a minute or so. Any thoughts sir?? ... 7

    @MsGhost874 years ago We have a clogged restroom sink right now. Usually, I would recommend Thrift, it's some amazing stuff. However, it's something you don't want to use regularly due to its potency. It can ruin your pipes then cause an even bigger problem.
    Unfortunately, Thrift isn't working for me right now so, I'm going to try this.
    Thanks Roger, I'll update if this worked for me ✌️

    @elnicadrums4 years ago 👍👍😎😎🖐🖐... thats where I make my bank I focus more on clogged up sinks, tubs, showers and main line... specially when you have the right snake... and before I snake a sink i make sure that I check the pipes and P-trap thats where most of your cloggs will be, if not the I clean it out with the snake 👍👍🖐... Great Video takes me way back to drain cleaning basics 👍👍🖐👍🖐 ... 2
