- You may be wondering: how do I snake a drain? This is a job you can easily do yourself. Leah from See Jane Drill shows you how to snake a drain using a drum augers.
1) Remove the p-trap on your sink. Make sure to use a bucket to catch the water that comes out.
2) Remove the front screw of the drum auger. Push the snake through the pipe until you meet resistance. Once you meet resistance, tighten the screw up.
3) Spin the auger to drill through the blockage. Turn the handle as you push forward.
4) Hold on to the end to loosen the nut, pull the snake out just a little bit, tighten the nut and repeat the process.
5) Once you've felt you've cleared the blockage, remove the drum auger and replace the p-trap

I just LOVE Leah! She's so great at presenting things in a complete, easy to understand and no "fluff" kind of way. I've learned more than I can even remember from Leah.
I love her she’s so thorough.
I’d like her to be my neighbor
She's so articulate and her enunciation is practically perfect in every way.
So after watching a bunch of videos and trying to figure where the clog was and trying to figure how to use the snake..I found your tip for a bent pipe and to slowly push in the snake and turn the handle slowly when you meet resistance.. IT WORKED GREAT:) you saved me 200.00 dollars..and I'll be able to save more money for future clogs..thank you to all who are on to help one another.
Leah is the BEST. She has the most reassuring manner, and having followed her instructions before, I know I can trust her advice. Many thanks for this helpful video!
One of the most concise and well-prepared how-to videos I've seen to date.
just about the best videos i've seen online. no arrogance or, um, cockiness, not afraid to state things simply for people who may not have any experience with these things. nice and simple and direct, clear audio and video.
I’ll second that!
Leah always explains these things in such a well rounded and easy to follow way. Top notch teaching and thank you!
Thank you so much for making this video. You explained it so clearly, which made me feel confident that I could do this myself. I like being able to do small repairs and such without having to ask for help. Thank you once again. 😀
Excellent video, no fluff, straight to the point, clear instructions, and genuinely friendly and encouraging. I'll look Leah up whenever I need to do a DIY repair.
I watched this video last night, then used my 25 ‘ drain auger (like the one you demonstrated). And it worked perfectly. I’d had trouble before with feeding it in “too much to quick”.
You technique worked great on the laundry down pipe and the floor drain.
I'm having the same trouble, clogged up the drain after my mattress pad came apart in the washer. We're going to try this if we aren't snowed in.
Leah is a national treasure.
National treasure?
Was ready to call a plumber but found your video. In less than 3 minutes my drain is cleared. Very good instructions. Thank you so much Leah.
Thank you Leah. Thanks to you I just fixed my clogged kitchen drain all by myself! :)
I love watching her, she explains everything so well.
Thank you, Leah! You're providing a lot of valuable information that will save many people a lot of money. And you have a very pleasant manner.
Thanks Leah! Really appreciate your teaching style and can-do spirit. Makes a person feel like rolling up their sleeves and diving into, well.. whatever needs done. Drain is running free again!
Thank you Leah. I bought one of these but didn't really know how to use it until your video. Thanks again.
Thank you!!!! It worked!!! I would not have been able to do it without your teaching!!! I have my kitchen sink back again!!!
Big thank you here. I was on the verge of hiring a plumber to clear my drain which I wasn't able to easily accomplish. I worked for two days changing P traps and pipes. Nothing worked. Thanks for this video on how to use a snake. Worked great and was easy.
Leah, you are the best. You've made a video about clogged bathroom drains a pleasure to watch! Thank you ;)))
I'm so glad to see Leah when i have a project to tackle. Thank you
How are you so cool Leah!? I've learned so much from you! My first project was repairing my drywall I learned from you. Thank you! 😃👍
Me too
I just spent all day yesterday trying to clear a drain and in a few short minutes, this video showed me how to do it successfully... I'm so appreciative of your direct style and short to the point video...THANKS!
I love you Leah !! I have watch seversl tutorials and you always make it so simple and less intimidating. So thorough. Thanks.
omg thank you, i thought my auger was broken - turns out i just dint know how to use it properly LOL SO VERY HELPFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wish I could meet Leah. Such a great person
Thank you Leah. Did it just like you showed and had success.
The tutorial was pretty clear and very much helpful. I used the same technique to clear my kitchen drain using the same tool. Thanks a lot!
I love Leah, excellent tutorial. You are a wonderful trainer. This is so easy to understand and detailed. Thank you.
They you sooooo much Leah! I hope I spelled your name correctly. Seriously, thank you, I've been struggling with a clogged sink for months. I put it off and put it off bc I thought it would be a long drawn out process. Thank you for showing me how simple it actually is 😅
This kind of content is awesome. It shows she cares about her viewers' health
I’ve owned a drain snake for years and never successfully used it before. I was ALMOST ready to call a plumber. Watching this video was my last resort.
Followed her instructions and it worked like a charm! Great video!
Well spoken, articulate and pleasing to listen to!! Thx
I always love your videos, and there are enough of them that I am delighted to stumble on them repeatedly when I need to make a repair. And even if you weren't encouraging directly, the fact that you represent a female that can competently make repairs is itself encouraging to me. Thank you and keep up the good work.
where can I find more of her videos? she's fantastic
I've watched you videos over the years and love how helpful they are!
When I find a video of yours, I know I will be able to do it, I love the way you explain so calmly and precise
Thanks Leah! This is only the 2nd video I’ve watched and the better of the 2.
Great demonstration! This is the first I've seen of Leah's videos and I've owned my home since 1999; I thank you. Happy Holidays. Sharon
Thank you! You just saved me about $800 in plumbing costs. You rock Jane!
I would love to learn about household maintenance stuff from Leah, she’s really cool
Leah, you are a home repair Goddess, thank you for the many helpful videos!
Thank you so much for such a clear tutorial on using a drum auger! You made it feel like a task that I feel confident in approaching by myself. Your presentation style is fantastic!!

Thanks so much ! Worked like a charm. You saved me an expensive plumber visit !
OMG, I love you so much for this video 💕..... Have this tool, but was using incorrectly - resulting in me only getting only a foot of the rod in, and achy arms.
After watching your well described tutorial, I got the whole 25ft rod into the pipeline and cleared the blockage 😌
Very helpful, as always. Thanks, Leah.
