- 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 was introduced to Leah in her drywall taping and finishing videos. She's a total artist AND delivers the most efficient and useful instruction I've seen on YT
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.
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.
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 a national treasure.
National treasure?
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!
Thank you so much for this video!! I was going to call a plumber, but you gave me the confidence to try it myself and it worked! Drains like a champ now. 😁
Awesome video. Very clear and straight forward instructions. I love watching your videos. No matter what I think I know, I always manage to learn something new. Thank you so much!
Just saved me $200 thank you so much Leah
You have to have been an instructor, the best instructions on YT on how to use an auger. Thanks!!!❤❤❤❤
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.
Leah always explains these things in such a well rounded and easy to follow way. Top notch teaching and thank you!
I wish all how to DIY videos on RUclips were this concise and professional. Please.....teach us more! Got any car skills or cooking skills? Whatever video you make I'm gonna watch it and share it with all my friends! Thank you for being so awesome! I just saved $300 by switching to Leah!
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.
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 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 love watching her, she explains everything so well.
omg thank you, i thought my auger was broken - turns out i just dint know how to use it properly LOL SO VERY HELPFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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.
I wish I could meet Leah. Such a great person
Thank you!!!! It worked!!! I would not have been able to do it without your teaching!!! I have my kitchen sink back again!!!
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! You're providing a lot of valuable information that will save many people a lot of money. And you have a very pleasant manner.
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. 😀
I would love to learn about household maintenance stuff from Leah, she’s really cool
The key is to line the walls with something like parchment paper so that the black gunk doesn't get everywhere. That stuff is a pain to get off of whatever it ends up on
Leah, you are the best. You've made a video about clogged bathroom drains a pleasure to watch! Thank you ;)))
Thank you so much. Just cleared my drain!
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
Well spoken, articulate and pleasing to listen to!! Thx
Thank you Leah. I bought one of these but didn't really know how to use it until your video. Thanks again.
This kind of content is awesome. It shows she cares about her viewers' health
I love Leah, excellent tutorial. You are a wonderful trainer. This is so easy to understand and detailed. Thank you.
I normally skip these commercial diy videos but when I saw it was Leah I stuck around. Well played well played.
Trying to find a video of how to use a snake and this video shows exact that!
Thank you! You just saved me about $800 in plumbing costs. You rock Jane!
Thank You Zillow! You just saved me 500 EURO s (plumber bill) Took me all of 10 mins, so satisfying to see the water disappear down the drain 😁
I feel for you, Steve. Then there is washing the auger line and putting protectant spray on it so it's not a rusty mess. Leah rocks in her clarity, though. People who make you sit and watch while they go through all the muck of it make horrendously long videos. And I don't really learn much more.
Thank you. Best video I could find on RUclips for clearing a drain with a snake.
Leah - I love you, love your mad skills, love your thorough but never pedantic teaching style, and love the encouragement you offer, making all of us braver & better at every turn! Thank you! Headed over to sub your channel this minute!
She’s da bomb, i fix my whole house bc of her
I'm so glad to see Leah when i have a project to tackle. Thank you
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!
Worked great I did this a year ago but totally forgot how to...thanks so much
I've watched you videos over the years and love how helpful they are!
Excellent tutorial! Thank you!!
Thank you Leah. Thanks to you I just fixed my clogged kitchen drain all by myself! :)
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 😌
Thanks so much ! Worked like a charm. You saved me an expensive plumber visit !
Thank you Leah. Did it just like you showed and had success.
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!
I love seeing her on secret restoration on history channel! she's such a passionate craftsman!
Thanks from the UK, very instructive and clear. Well done, no nonsense - great presentation.
I am so glad I found this video, this woman.
Omg I’ve been trying to find u See Jane drill! U have great videos! I don’t understand why my subscription is not popping you up when I look for your RUclips channel
The best teacher in the world!
Just got out a clogg 😁 thanks for the encouragement ❤️
This is some great guide for some people who rent a house from Zillow. Gotta keep the house in good shape. Now if other realtors would give good guides to tenants.
My home thanks u other videos is just showing how good they are yours is perfect
Thank you for a simple and concise tutorial. I'm going to try this tomorrow.
I live in a condo, and I was advised to have the HOA do this job, because if I somehow break the pipe with the snake, I can flood someone, and it can turn into a lawsuit??? Is this BS? Should I do myself or have HOA plumber do it?
Amazing video! Love her! Thank you! Excellent choice using her, Zillow 👍👍 Now I know that Zillow probably has some worthwhile videos compared to other randoms. AND I’m going to go subscribe to Leah’s youtube channel ‘See Jane drill’ YES! 🍀
thank you 🙌 your videos have helped me SO much
Thank you Leah!!!!! ❤
Thanks Leah! This is only the 2nd video I’ve watched and the better of the 2.
Thank you! This saved me a lot of money and worked perfectly.
Thank you this saved me a call to the plumber !!
Somethings never change. Great video, thank you
Excellent video! Thank you so much, Leah.
Thank you so much. It explained everything perfectly so that I could use my tool. It was an excellent video.
Thanks Leah!
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!
Great teacher
Yup, officially Subscribed now😌
Thank you Leah. Wish me luck I'm going in
Thank you
Fast and efficient with your explanation. Thank you!
EXPLAINED PERFECT!!!!!
Thank you!!!!!😀
Thanks for those details
You are amazing, watched like 5 videos all failed to teach me how to use one. Watched your video and bam sink is fixed
Love Leah.
great communication skill....thank you!
You're awesome, Leah. I feel prepared to give this a go tomorrow.
Wow Leah was hired by Zillow. I love her.
Thanks! I have a clogged wall drain for my washer and the same snake as you showed. Off to get it done.
Very helpful! Thanks!
Nice one, Leah. Thanks, and a thumbs up, from Australia. Good video.
Leah, your video's are always amazing! Thank you for this!!
Thanks Leah, your videos are always so helpful and informative.
Thanks for this. I've never used one of these before, and this was right to the point.
This was a great video! It was so clear and thorough. I followed the steps and cleared the clog. Thank you.
Nice walkthrough
Smart Lady.....Thnkyou
Thanks, Leah. I thought my snake wasn't very good, but it turned out I wasn't understanding how to use the screw. What I would add is that after you have tightened the screw and are then turning/twisting the snake, that you may have to keep twisting for a while before the snake gets through. Patience helps.
Just learned how to use my drum auger. Thank you
great lesson, thank you
Thanks Leah :)
Yes I can do this. Thank you!
Great information, thank you.
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
