Hi Roger I was hoping you may please help me out with my question. I just subscribed and liked and love all of your videos! I want to be a plumber, but I am scared of crawl spaces and what I will find in there. I love everything else about the job though, do you have any advice for me? How often a day do plumbers have to go under crawl spaces, and if so is it hard to breathe down there?
Psych Student it's not very often that we have to go into crawl spaces but it does happen. Wear a bright light so you can see everything clearly and don't crawl into areas where you might get stuck! Does that help?
My plug is on the outside wall and the snake comes out clean...still digging slowly

Im a 23 year old female with a clogged sink and no dad to teach me this stuff. So id like to say on behalf of myself and all the 20 year old females here, thanks dad!!!
I’m 52 and my dad died on my birthday 2006 and never showed me how to do any of this. I know you’re not old enough to be my dad, but I’d also like to say “thanks Dad!!” from all women. Cuz you seem like you’d be an awesome dad! Thanks again.😊
You are very welcome
Completely agree, this was so helpful!!!
@@Zinkevm1, I am a female, much older than you & always needing something fixed, it seems. I also have no one to help me & anytime you hire work done, they always charge “an arm & a leg” & do shoddy work. That’s why I try to do whatever I can for myself, thank God for RUclips.
You have three holes you can get anything with . Use them ….and you shouldn’t have any issues
I DID IT I DID IT!! All by myself too, well except for you telling me step by step 😁 I’m a 60 year old Grandma so if I can do it anybody can THANK YOU SO MUCH
Love people like this on RUclips 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.
I appreciate that! That's why I make these type videos. More power and confidence to the homeowner
I did it!! 53 year old mother of 6 fixed her clogged sink lol. Thank you for the help!!
I love hearing that, great job Michelle!!
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 $$.
I'm glad to hear that it worked! Thanks for the comment
Wonderful. Cleaned out my first p-trap... at age 64.... feeling pretty good about it. thanks!
your mustache looks like you know how to unclog a sink
Adds some serious master toilet technician street cred.
Lmfao
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!
How did you fix it in the end? I have the same issue and I also took all the pipes apart and did through cleaning but it's still clogging.
@@vickytao2010 i got this same issue just now. Pipes are cleaned but still clogged, fortunately I heard something “fell” down there some minutes later and clogged no more
Very glad he put in the "common sense" aspect of the bucket having to be tilted cause i deff would have panicked.
Just make sure the water is under the p trap n it won't spill in a 5gal bucket like that
Watched your video today and was able to unclog my pipes! As a single mom, I often try and fix things myself, if I'm able to. Your video was easy to follow. Thank you!!
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!
That intro with John Cena cracked me up. Brilliant :D
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!
Follow your passion......
If you "had fun" doing this...
C'mon Over To My House!
You can have a riot doing my kitchen sink!
I'm about to attempt taking my apparatus apart shortly and dread it, though I'm pretty handy.
And if you do become a plumber, keep the old timers like me, in mind. We often don't have much dough.
Stay safe!
Never realized it is so easy to fix, thanks to your video. Now I'm no more scared of clogged sink.
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 RUclips, 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??
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!!! : )
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 the connectors were loosened a bit. Thank you very much for the great instructions.
Thank you for talking me through unclogging my sink without destroying anything or making a mess. Really really appreciate it more than I can express.
I've been trying to unclog my sink for 2 hours in the middle of the night until I saw your video. Thanks internet dad! My son and I worked on it and learned a good lesson!
Thanks! Fixed my sink in 5 minutes thanks to you.
It work! I took the pipes loose and there was a wode piece of grease clogging my pipes. Thank you. Just saved me some money because I was on my way to Home Depot.
Excellent! Now I might call you the next time I have a clog!
The water in my kitchen sink suddenly stayed up, did not go into the drain. Within minutes, I googled and searched in RUclips on how to remove drain blockage. Your video comes on top. I watched this vid just for the first 7 mins to understand the basic idea, applied it as instructed, and now my kitched sink drainage is as fast as a toll road. Thank you!
I love that!!!! I’m glad it helped. What was the problem?
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 RUclips and found your video. Other wise, my dishes would have continued to stack up until the hubby came home.
Thank you so much!! Opened mine and removed the clog in less than 10minutes! Saved me a bill of 350bucks from the plumber!
4 years later and this video is still helping people. Appreciate it big dog saved me time and money.
Timeless knowledge! Glad it was able to help you out
I just fixed my sink myself just by listening to his instructions ! Thanks a lot for the free tips
Congratulations. Thank you!!!
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!
Bro!🤦♂️🤣🤣
@@SENOR_David I know what "pipes" she was referring to LOL
I'm familiar with the plot twist this story leads too, hm...
“Ma’am, I do my own plumbing”
Unclogged my drain because of you!! Thank you!
I love your videos honestly ..there very helpful for a new plumber such as my self but you also have a since of humor
Great personality and production value. My clog was just passed this stuff within the wall. I didn't have to call a pro and just saved a few dollars!
Roger, I also wanted to thank you for this wonderful video. I followed your easy instructions step by step and fixed my clog. Not only did you save me money, but I'm also feeling pretty proud of myself :-)
Just moved to my first apartment! This saved my life, thank you so much! You are really funny as well. Thank you so much.
That a girl Katherine learning how to take care of your house.
Thank you sir! I'm so proud of myself for fixing my sink on my own :)
I tried everything this is the only thing that worked. Finally!!! Thank you!!
Skip everything and try this!
roxy solis I am so glad this helped. Thanks for watching and commenting!
thanks, im 15 without a father so i had to do it myself, this worked really well
Roger thank you so much! I did your order of troubleshooting, and found the issue. It was past the P trap! Got it cleared out and everything is draining out smoothly!
This really helped me cut out the middleman since my apartment complex is awful. I dealt with it no problem. Thanks a bunch!
Hi Mr. Roger i followed your instructions and it worked perfectly!!!! Thanks to your video I unclog my sink THANK YOU THANK YOU !
You’re GREAT!!
You are tha MAN! Used this method twice now & it worked perfectly both times! Thanks for the help & the entertaining video!
I clogged my kitchen sink. Naturally I didn’t want to listen to my husband about it so I googled a problem solver. This video popped up. I LOVE YOU! The explanation of what it might be if it doesn’t do this or that was great. I got it fixed all by myself.
You're the man, Roger. Thank you!
Last year I did everything this professional said, I took it all apart and cleaned the pipes and put it back together. But my goal was to find out where that clog is first and save myself hours of work.
Well done...1 watch, I can literally unclog my kitchen sink. 12 minutes were the cost of very valuable and thorough knowledge. Thank you for doing what you do.
I like you videos, very informative and presented nicely. I thought you were an actor, that's how natural you are in front of the camera but then you said you have been a plumber for 38 years so you have the heart of a teacher, very nice.
Guaranteed for real 👍. Fixed my sink 2020 5 minutes. Super funny video btw 😂
Thanks for the very clear instructions and explanations for locating the clog! I was just able to spend $0 to fix mine!!!
I followed your instructions, thank you, they saved me from getting soaked. Your attention to the smallest detail is greatly appreciated and kept me and my cabinet dry. However, My kitchen sink clog is in the wall. Do you have a clip on how to use an auger properly ?
Great video - This one plus your plunger guide helped me fix my kitchen sink good as new! Thanks for posting and keep up the good work!
8:33 I'm glad I wasn't drinking anything at the time...I would have sprayed it all over my computer screen. Cracked me up!!! Funny stuff my man.
G Foster that's funny! We are having fun. Glad that you are enjoying it!!!
How the hell did I miss that!!!
Thanks for the helpful tutorial! And your “High dollar bucket” made me lol!
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!!! 😊
Thank u sir!!!!!!! Very helpful I did break the circle nuts and had no idea I need a washer I'll go buy new ones today God bless
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 Hot 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.
This was a great video! Thank you! It was so easy to unstop my drain!!
OMG thank you!! You just saved me. Kitchen sink unclogged!!
Thank you for such an easy to follow video. I unclogged my drain within 10 minutes while my husband watched lol.
You are awesome thank you so much! You explain everything so well, and easy to see what you're doing. I love this, you're a perfect teacher. I enjoy watching your vids because they are so valuable, especially if you own your own home. Thank you.
You are a blessed soul. Thank you. 😊
Wow, Mr. Wakefield covered all the basics, practical held our hand through the entire process. Made us feel like we could actually “fix it our selves.” '
My husband, bless his heart, just dumped a full quart sized jar of pickled beets into our garbage disposal so thank you for this straight to the matter at hand how to video. Wish me luck...
Excellent visuals and explanation! I’ve done this a few times and always revisit with an expert. Thanks again! 😎
Love that this is full off little common sense nuggets. Like: don’t poor the bucket water back into the sink. And; only let it fill half way so you can tilt it in/out of position.
Thank you Roger for the Instructions and it Works!!!
just watched this very helpful. got my sink clear in less than 15 minutes
Thank you!!!!! We had a straw in there
👍👍😎😎🖐🖐... 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 👍👍🖐👍🖐
2/6/21 Just followed your steps and it worked like a charm. 🙏🏽
So I clogged the sink in my apartment and I really didn't want to have to call maintenance to do it... thanks for the video man! I appreciate you.
Thank you for the tips, very helpful
Thank you sir. I fixed the kitchen sink without paying for unnecessary tools. Yay!
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??
Thanks so much this worked out perfectly fine for me !
Thank you! I almost had a Thanksgiving disaster on my hands. But your method cleared it right up!!!
Thank you for the solid guidance and accompanying humor.
It works! Found 2 butter knives down there. Saved some 💰 Thanks!!
lololol "honey, I found the butter knives!!!"
I am so thankful for this video. You saved me soo much money 😊
This just saved me a night plumber! After a 12hr day, I came home to find my son had garbaged an entire stock pot of pinto beans,…….ugh. The problem was exactly as you said, and I was able to not make a huge mess by going slow. Thank you so much!!!
Single mother here! This gave me confidence to try and do it myself.
Thanks for the help, my mum said she had a blocked drain so I did as you said an took my time unlocking the pipes and pulled them off...low and behold it was clogged with food, straws and ice lolly sticks😂😂, it’s unblocked and working like a dream now
Very easy to understand what you're explaining what to do. Thank you
This video helped me unclog my drain for the first time. Thank you!
Thanks so much, this walked me through exactly what I needed.
Thank You So Much! My sink is now flowing! Realized I have a major hard water problem!
Nick cage cameo gold 😂 videos like this makes me go under my kitchen sink just to take it apart and put it together 😅
Thank you so much! First time home owner here and we just had our kitchen sink back up. I was able to do this by myself while my husband calmed the baby and kept the dogs away. So simple!
Reverse roles. Nice job!
Lovely , thanks Mr Rodger👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you!! I am a 78 very capable female and this helped me to know where to stop ! lol I removed all including the p trap with little mess, drained both sinks but my wire clothes hanger only reached so far. Called the plumber at this point but hey learned and attempted alot!!!!!
You’re awesome . Thanks 😊 I’m definitely trying this !
You got this!
I found this very helpful thank you. I didn’t find a clog though. My dishwasher has been overflowing and the drains are slow. I expected to find some thing. I guess I’ll have to call a plumber now😞
Thank you so much for posting this video. I can't afford a plumber but this DIY fixed my drain right away. I can finally do my dishes!! My roommates and I say you rock!!!
Glad I could help
I'm fixing my clog kitchen sink now as I see what you are doing/ Thank you/ Chicago, IL
Good videos for apprentice and home owners 👍🏼
915Richyplumber it's funny we started out making videos to teach homeowners. Now we have just as many plumbers and apprentices coming here to learn. I love giving back to both of my communities!!!
Nicely explained and illustrated. Thanks.
You are welcome!
Thanks! Worked for me. The clog was farther down beyond this assembly so I took the pipes off here and squirt jet garden hose the clog away.
Excellent!
That was the clearest tutorial that I have seen. You didn’t leave any details out. This was my first time doing it and I was able to go with high confidence that I am gonna get it done. I was done in 18 minutes. The stoppage was at the U shape part. Pieces of thyme and cleaning sponge caused that.
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 ✌️
Both sinks were totally clogged of course its Saturday and plumber wanted to charge $185 minimum. I did what someone said in a comment on another video. I plugged the non-disposer side, made sure disposer side was 1/2 full and ran the crap out of the disposal. After a couple of tries using boiling water and some draino- Viola! The pressure blew the clog away.🎉🎉 Saved $200!
Thank you so, so, much. You are of great help. Much appreciated👌🏿🙏🏾
Thank you for this! Fixed my stupid sink...
