    Omg! You are a lifesaver! I tried everything from Drano to baking soda and vinegar, taken p trap apart, shoved snake all the way into wall, and nothing happened, poured boiling water and dish detergent and still clogged,
    After watching this video problem solved, The only reason a plunger didn't work is because water would simply go to the other side!
    A plumber knows how simple the solution is but they just do it the hard way because they are in business to make 💰

    You saved me $440!! Thank you so much! Plumbing company said there was no other way than using a snake to fix it but this video proves them wrong!

    Thank you sooo much! This worked for me. No trip to the store to buy caustic chemicals, no snaking and making a big mess under the sink. It was all over including wash up in 5 minutes. I am very thankful for your video! Made my day!

    Someone give this man an award! I tried unclogging my kitchen sink for almost an hour and nothing happened, until I watched this video and BOOM, it unclogged in a hot second!!! Genius!!!

    I spent 8 hours trying to unclog my sink.I plunged till two plungers broke.I used Drano and still nothing.I rented a snake but that didn't work.I bought my own snake but that didn't work either.I removed the drain plug from the bottom of the trap that flooded my cupboards and kitchen floor.I put the snake from the bottom and hit something solid.I have to wait until after Christmas for a plumber.
    A word of caution.I burnt my hands from the Drano so make sure you wear rubber gloves when working with caustic material.

    How can we thank you? My husband was about to assemble the whole thing while I was looking for help from RUclips. And there you are and in split of second I stopped my husband to unscrew the first connector. Thank you very much. Hoping this will give graces in the coming future.

    Brilliant! I'd tried other things (baking soda/vinegar; plastic snake; leaving it overnight to work by magic?). My garbage disposal with adjacent sink was just as you described; clean and clogged. I tried one plunger from bathroom (eww) and it didn't work. Knowing not all plungers are alike, I grabbed a different bathroom plunger that actually had never been used (yay). It took, maybe, 2 sets of the 5 plunges (your plunger had a better seal around the sink I think) and then YAY! It was cleared. Thank you for posting. and having a great title that made it easy to search; and without the ads. I had found another before yours but it was going to have 1 min of ads so I saw yours and the picture and 5 seconds grabbed my attention; combined with a relatively short video time. Thank you thank you!

    Oh my gosh you are a lifesaver I tried the plunger early this morning it didn’t work then I saw your clip your plunger is different but I finagled it a little bit with mine and I kid you not to pumps I was fine, I use Drano two times this morning after I tried the plunger I used baking soda and vinegar then I went to work came home it was still plugged it was a drip drip trying to go down I’m so glad I came upon your unclog five second kitchen sink thank you very much I won’t forget this

    Thank you so much for this!!! Lord!
    The ONLY thing I want to add is once I plunged, the water came up my dishwasher line. I cleaned up the water and had to use a clamp on the hose and that worked!
    Thank you, truly appreciate it !

    Hi, glad I found this, even if was done years ago! I have an RV and the sink got stopped up, watched your video, bought a 99cent plunger at the 99c store and in 5 seconds it was all cleared out! Thank god, it wasn't worse. Thank you!

    Thank you a million times! I tried baking soda & vinegar! Hot boiling water after it drained some plunging & plunging & plugging for 30 minutes straight! I also did bleach. NOTHING worked until I did this. Within 6 plunges BAM! I could hear it draining. Thank you!

  • @aharmon1
    @aharmon1 8 лет назад +3

    Thank you for this video! It totally worked. I had my husband hold the block in place on the right side and I plunged the left side. Worked perfect even though the sink being plunged was filled with water so it took a bit longer. Bottom line this ABSOLUTELY WORKED!! Thank you!!

  • @add819
    @add819 7 лет назад +6

    Thank you "Handy Homeowner"! Just had my husband try it on our clogged kitchen sink. He's pretty handy himself but didn't realize that the other sink needed to be plugged. Once plugged, he unplugged the clog in "5 seconds."

    I appreciate flawed videos such as this as they generate many flood/mold opportunities for us. Toilet Plungers are for Toilets, they will cause your piping to leak and even blow the nutxnut ones off, it is just a matter of time.

    Thank you so much, I was a bit skeptical at first since it seemed so easy. I looked at other videos and they were too complicated.

    @maydayit 3 года назад +5

    Add my thanks to the list! Mine started out as a partial clog. You could hear it dripping loudly when the sink drained. The drainage got slower and slower until finally it would barely go down. I had tried all kinds of drain cleaners and nothing worked. This took me a little more than five plunges but in the end, it worked! THANK YOU!

    A simple
    Fix would be pointless! God bless truly!

  • @donotneed2250

    One thing I noticed while growing up was most people always wanted to run cold water down the drain when they were doing something. Hot water helps to melt grease! Think about it. When my mom would burn something in a pot the first thing she would do was put cold water in it to soak. I don't recall how many times I tried explaining it was better to put hot water in the pot, pan. I'll wash vegetables in cold water and then run hot water afterwards. I grew up in the 1960's and learned how to listen to the plumbing so you could be proactive especially if you have an old house.
