How To Snake Bathroom Sink

A clogged bathroom sink is a common household problem that can be easily fixed with a snake. A snake is a long, thin, flexible tool that can be inserted into the drain to break up and remove clogs. Here are the steps on how to snake a bathroom sink:

Gather your materials.

You will need a sink snake, a bucket, and a flashlight. 2.

Place the bucket under the sink.

This will catch the water and debris that comes out of the drain. 3.

Insert the snake into the drain.

Slowly feed the snake into the drain, turning it clockwise as you go. 4.

Advance the snake into the clog.

Continue turning the snake until you feel resistance. This is the clog. 5.

Break up the clog.

Use the snake to break up the clog by twisting and turning it. You may need to use some force to break through the clog. 6.

Remove the snake.

Slowly pull the snake out of the drain, turning it counterclockwise as you go. 7.

Flush the drain with hot water.

Turn on the hot water and let it run for a few minutes to flush out the remaining debris. 8.

Check for leaks.

Once the water has stopped running, check for any leaks around the drain. If you see any leaks, tighten the drain stopper or call a plumber.

Here are some additional tips for snaking a bathroom sink:

Use a flashlight to help you see inside the drain.
Be patient and don't force the snake too hard. If you force the snake too hard, you could damage the drain.
If you can't break up the clog with the snake, you may need to call a plumber.
