- How to clear choked basin.
Do you find the water flow in the basin has slowed or clogged?
This happens quite often if you have a basin at home.
There is a vital accessory below the basin called a bottle trap.
It has dual functions. It will trap foreign matters from finding its way into the piping system. And to prevent odors from traveling back up into the bathroom.
Once this happens, the simple remedy is to dismantle the bottle trap and clean it. Here's a video that I have done to show how to do it.

Hello, my name is William. I'm a father to 3, and I just became a grandfather.
Do you want to learn new handyman skills? Or do you need to fix or repair something in the house? I post videos of home-fixes and DIY projects that I do. These are the things that my children ask me about and hopefully will benefit some of you too.

Thank you thank you thank you. I was gonna cheat and just clean the bottle and not remove the whole thing but the water still wasnt going down fast enough. I hesitated for few minutes and was gonna give up. I hate working on piping stuff. Anyway I remove the whole thing and immediately saw the blockage. This is a kitchen sink so 6 years of oily stuff stuck there had to be remove. It wasnt that difficult but just gross. Replace the bottle trap if you have a weak stomach cause its a lot cheaper than paying for therapy later, trust me. Thank you once again for the clear instructions
You're most welcome.

@@teachmedad2460 Q
Need more videos from you bro.

Nice job. Thanks for posting
Thanks for watching!
Superb... Saved few bucks since I don't need to call plumber
Glad that it helps! Tks for watching 🤗❤
Thank you very much🥰🥰
Hi William, I am from SG too! May I know what is supposed to come with a new sink when I buy it? Does it need to come with the PVC bottle trap and also the pop up drain? Is it a universal size for all?
Great help worked a dream!
Glad it helped!
Thank u for video! I saw some kind of glue around the bottom cup with upper cup. Any idea what time of sealant is that?
That was some old silicon that was left over by the contractor that installed my sink. You don't need silicon or any sealant if your rubber 'o' rings and gaskets are in good condition, it will prevent any water leakage, even in high pressure systems we depend on the rubber gaskets and o-rings to do the job!
Simple and not messy method. Me like. Curious are you using a xiaomi washing machine there? 😉
Not Xiaomi, it's Bosch!
@@teachmedad2460 ooh pretty similar design. Maybe copied bosch 😂
Thanks information
Thank you so much!!!!
You're welcome!
Thank you! Do you have to turn the water off at the mains?
No, do not have to turn off the water from the main as this is the waste side, it is separate from the main line. There's no pressure on this side.
@@teachmedad2460 Thank you so much!
@@francesdoyle9461you're most welcome, enjoy DIY and have fun ❤
If the bottle causes choke. Why do we use it in the first place? Just wash everything down? Even with bottle trap not all dirts are trap there. Some still flows through right? Ty in advance
This is the requirement, it acts as a strainer and also to prevent the smell from coming out of the pipe.
Thank you very much. 🙏
You are very welcome
*Saved us many a times*
Thank you. I just unclogged our sink and the water finally flows for the first time in months
Wonderful!
May i ask what is the rubber for?
Rubber o-ring and gaskets is to give a good seal between the 2 other hard surfaces as rubber is compresseable. Since the drainage of the sink do not have high pressure, do not over compress the rubber rings or gasket. Usually once the contact is there between the two surfaces just another half to three quarter turns is good enough to prevent leaks.
Hi, i already clean the whole cup and the sink still clog. Why? Thanks.
Check the strainer at the sink and also the pipe after the cup. The pipe that goes into the wall or elbow that turns downward after the cup.
Nice. Sub! Keep it up.
Thanks, will do!
Of course, before you do this, try 1. flushing down about 1.5 litres of boiled water or 2. add baking soda and vinegar. Flushing down boiled water fixed my kitchen sink drain pipe choke.
Clear already also no use leh
