- How to unclog a sink.
I did not wear gloves because I didn't use any chemicals. If you tried to use Liquid Plumber or Draino first, please wear gloves.
If this does not fix the clog, it would be best to hire a plumber who will snake your pipes as the clog is beyond the P trap.

Finally a way to learn from a dad without being yelled at for not knowing it already
Same
Did you and I have the same dad? I have a sibling I didn't know about!
Lol
Me: Dad, can you please teach me how to bike?
Dad: How are you not able to bike at 8 years old?!
AKA The Story of Why I’m 32 and a Dad Myself But I Don’t Know How To Ride a Bike and Can’t Teach My Kids
Thanks, _dad_.
Omg yes I relate to this so much lmao
Is my sink clogged?
No.
Am I gonna watch this video at 1am and leave a comment?
Yes.
This was funny until i looked at the time I'm watching this. It's 2:08 am and I'm in the bath watching this because i couldn't sleep :/
@@victoriakinny9210 same minus the bath lol
@@theotherriley3033 you should hop in the bath then! If you need a rubber duckie (or several) to keep you company I have extras i can spare. I bought 1200 for a prank and just keep them in my house
I don't event have a sink
Watching this at 1:28am 😂
Just the phrase "Dad, how do I..." already hits home.
It does, doesn't it. My wife said "it hitting all the feels and kudos to you dad." "thanks dad"
Dad, the weather is getting nice out and want to learn: how do I grill food? Thank you.
That would be good to know.
Yes!
Actually thats just what i need thanks dad
I've actually wondered that myself. My biological dad wasn't there to teach me, and all my first stepdad knew how to do was throw a little beer on it and drink the rest (he was an addict/dealer/alcoholic and other stuff). And I haven't even seen a grill at my mamaw and papaw's, ever, and I lived with them for a time.
I would be interested in it aswell.
My sink is draining quickly now. Thanks dad
You're welcome Kyle! 👍
💚💚
Thank you
🥺
this makes me cry
Who tf left a dislike
a rival grumpy dad
An electrician
that guy couldn't unplug the sink lmao
I knowwww makes me so mad
Plumbers.
I have a dad, but its like he doesn't exist. It hurts to have a father who isn't close to you. Really hurts man
Same my dad lives in another country
Same here man. I think it makes you a stronger person and will make you a great father for your future children.
Same here dude never taught me anything
@@bendoverson3231 Oh - I didn't know that I had a sibling!
Some men just don't realize they are the world to their children. They can't know how heartbreaking it is to a child when fathers don't make the effort to focus on a relationship, or they would invest more time on them. It is the most important job of a man's life - raising well-adjusted kids. Reading to a child at bedtime EVERY NIGHT should be a priority...even if Mom did it already. Dad needs to read to them nightly too. Not only does it help build relationships, but school is sooo much easier when they are comfortable with books. My grandsons knew half the words by the time they were 6-7 because they had been automatically following along for awhile as Dad and Mom read to them.
Me, mid 30s, learning more about how to fix stupid shit I should ALREADY know how to deal with, from a perfect stranger on the internet. You sir, win parenting 👏💕
My dad is alive, he’s just not very good at giving instructions over the phone. Thank you for helping me fix my sink!
He in prison?
516Jafuh 😂😂
Same :/
I've tried to give instructions over the phone. It is not at all easy. Too many variables.
It's worse if the person you're trying to instruct doesn't have any experience.
oobaka1967 Some kids aren’t verbal learners. They have to read it, or do it in tandem with someone else.
guys, this video wasn’t monetized.
this guy deserve some payment for this great act of deed
He needs a Patreon if he doesn’t already have one
I had several ads before, during, and after. I think it is monetized now.
@@beetdiggingcougar That could be RUclips monetizing it for its own ends. The platform wouldn't exist if it wasn't making money for its owners.
My dad refuses to teach me things like this because I am a woman... He tells me to get a guy friend or a plumber. Thank you
My dad was the same way. He passed away years ago and left me with so many questions.
He said it for you. He dosent want his daughter getting her hands messy when a guy could do it for her.
@island mike hit me with some constructive criticism. Because, "fashion" and "retarded" are also conditional and personal concepts. Some even consider a FASHION to be retarded, ok?
He does it for your good. Go ahead and ask mother to teach you cooking, keeping house clean and other woman things.
@@ereaUA there are times when you can't ask for help or have to solve the problem urgently. This is why I, for example, had to learn how to cook.
This man must be protected at all costs
Hey Dad, can you teach us how to clean an oven? Your kindness shines through every video!
Yes cleaning an oven would be so useful!
I never seem to get it totally clean, would love to see his advice!
Most newer ovens have a self clean setting. If you put your oven on self clean, usually it will lock the oven door, heat up so hot that it turns everything left in the oven to ash, then you can just wipe out the ash when it's done.
If your oven doesn't have a self-clean option, then easy off spray is always great too!
@@eerieyokai6228 That's so handy to know, thank you!
@@eerieyokai6228 My 30 year old over had a self cleaning feature. My new 5 year old over does not :(
I'm a 67 year old female house owner who lost her father when I was 6 years old. This has been so helpful in a very nonthreatening way. Thank you so much. I love this.
Imagine this guy’s face when he wakes up and sees his videos blew up. Faith in humanity slightly restored. ❤️
normal people saying this is so boring,but this guy god sent us really just makes it feel personal
I love these videos! My dad has passed and sooo many times I’ve had problems and just wish he was here to ask because I know he’d know just what to do! Thanks so much, your videos are so helpful!
Thanks for the kind words Dawn. :0)
Me too Dawn. 5 years ago
Melissa White bless you, mine was 7 years ago now. Doesn’t get any easier! Love to you xx
I feel this so much. My dad passed 1 year ago and there’s so many times I want to call him and ask him something but I can’t and then I cry because it hits me all over again that he’s not here. But this man here is amazing thank you for creating this page. Hats off to you sir.
Brittany Balthaser my feelings exactly! Bless you. He lives on in you! X
I lost my dad when i was 5 years old and now im 14 years olds thanks to your videos i can do all the things that my. Dad did not taught me like the video how to shave thank you so much because it helped me shaved my tiny beard please keep doing this so the other poeples out there with the same situation know what to do
Well I lost my dad when i wasnt even born at least you saw your dad
just another random guy over here don’t worry, it’s not a competition
@@sadiekupietz5992 wut? who said it is im just saying
@@toolie1 don't make it about yourself
just another random guy over here lmfao its not a competition 😭💀
All those earings and rings and stuff I've lost to the sink drain were all waiting RIGHT THERE in the p trap THIS WHOLE TIME ARE U KIDDING ME!?
I wish you were my dad. These videos are amazing thank you so much for being you.
Like he said, it depends on how much water you poured down the drain after. They could have been there, then washed away later.
My sincere gratitude, Dad. You empowered me to fix my sink and saved me a visit from a plumber.
"Empowered". Yes, knowing how to cope gives us POWER. Funny, isn't it?
You saved my life. My sink was taking minutes to drain and we were just days before moving out of our apt. and I knew we were going to be fined. This video gave me exactly what I needed including the confidence to just go through with it!
DAD YOU FORGOT TO PUT ON THE GLOVES BE CAREFUL
He said only if you’ve poured a chemical down the sink.
@@momentsformoms9467 Doesn't listen. Like real children
@@shellyt556 lma9
My husband is going to be so impressed the next time I drop my earring down the sink. He won't have to fetch it out for me! I can do it! :D
you go girl!!! *cheers*
You can buy a wire screen insert to fit in the drain that will allow water to go down, but not your earrings, bobby pins, etc. Prevention is the best option. (Note: you do have to clean the screen and the drain below it from time to time.)
@@wolfpatricia Great! Thanks for that. You'd think I learn to stop keeping earrings in the bathroom, but since that is obviously not going to happen this is a fab idea. :)
That hole in the plug at 5:17 made me think back to 10 years ago when I was a kid wondering why the plug would just pop up and down! no wonder, it was disconnected! I can't believe I'm just learning this. THANK YOU!
I'm here because of a Facebook post. Support Wholesome Dad!
Me too
I also grew up without a dad and I'm a recent homeowner. I'm so happy he's doing these videos.
I adore the "You got this" Not only teaching, but trusting your children will be able to do it. That's wholesome. That hits home. Thanks Dad.
Not the dad we deserve, but the dad we needed.
I've been dealing with a kitchen sink clog for a min. This came right when I needed it. You are greatly appreciated. 😭😭😭
So cute! He even has terrible dad jokes! I love this! We need more of this in the world!
Getting Dad in a better position by watching the whole video, posting a comment, and liking the video. Helping Dad OUTSMART THE RUclips ALGORITHM. WE GOT YOU, DAD 1,000%!!!
My dad passed away when I was 14 and I never learned how to do this. You have both made my day and made me cry. Thank you for being so wholesome. Keep up the great work!
I successfully learned a new
life skill, thanks to you! My sink is running clear and I pulled out a half of a hand sized hair ball, a rock, and hair clip.
You’re the best!
Thanks “Dad”!! I used your wisdom last week to fix a pain in the butt clog in my kitchen drains! It took me a couple days, but I did it!! (My dad took his own life while my mom was pregnant with me 😢) Thank you for saving the day! I also taught both my daughters as I fixed it so they can pass it on to their kids some day!
my dad abandoned me and my little brother, now i need to fix my sink without his help. thanks dad, for being here to answer my “how do i’s”
You rock!!!
I am 63. I like figuring things out. Daddy thought girls should not need tools if you weren’t super poor. He grew up in the depression/WWII. He taught my younger brother.
Daddy died when my brother was 12 (I was 14). I am astounded at how much my brother retained... plumbing, carpentry, electrical.
Now my brother teaches me. First he taught me to fix computers and we did Y2K consulting together. Now he moved across the street after decades out of town. He buys me tools. He is my biggest advocate.
Your channel will help me learn more. Also, you will help my dear friend who just bought her first house and is finishing her Masters so has little cash for calling services to help her out.
Thanks! Subscribed.
My 18 year old son and I just fixed a slow drain sink! I know that must sound so simple and easy for some folks, but for me it was incredible and empowering! Thank you so much Rob!
Man, I’ve lost my dad when I was 13 and I’m lacking so many basic skills and you my friend, you will never know how much this channel means to me !
Having a steady, kind dad, when so many things are crazy out there, is just so restorative, thanks!
I've been asking my dad to unclog my sink for over a year. And I live with him. I'll be doing it myself now! Thank you so much
Found you through a post your daughter made in a FB group. My heart! Your channel is amazing. Made me cry thinking about how sweet what you're doing. 💕💕💕
Thanks Windy. :0)
My dad simply left when I was 12. I found my way around to do all the stuff around house myself, yet it feels good to watch you. Thanks dad!
My dad just doesn’t have the time to teach me this stuff, your channel is such a blessing. Thank you so so much.
I'm a trans boy and my father is transphobic, he refused to teach me anything but i find you✨
Thank you so much, many people cried watching this, not cuz it's emotional, but cuz their father wasn't there to teach them that
Again
Thank you
@x_0mika0_x:
Oof. u.u; So much relate. (Also, hi! I'm trans too
Todoroki!!
Bless you !!
Tf is a trans boy
Jesus loves u
Subbed immediately. My dad wanted to do everything himself and never taught me a thing. This channel is a lifesaver. Thank you very much!
Why would anyone dislike, this man is a role model! Love u dad!
Can you show us how to empty a garbage disposal? I can hear something clinking around in there but can’t see it or feel anything.
thank you so much!! my dad didn't have a dad to teach him these things, and as a girl you're never really encouraged to do these things, I unclogged my sink and squealed of joy, never has a pile of smelly gunk made me feel so happy, thank you so much!!!
Im literally crying through this video. I just saw the post on FB and you overwhelmed my heart. My dad left my family when i was 7 and now, as a single, house-owning woman, i have to youtube so much basic stuff. Thank you ❤
He made me want to clean my sink even tho it’s not clogged. Love you Dad!
You, Sir, are a national treasure. Thank you so much for your kind and generous spirit! My dad did not teach me these things because I’m a girl. He’s been gone for almost 20 years now. And now my husband is disabled, on dialysis, and on the kidney transplant list. My daughters and I desperately need a kind, gentle teacher as we learn how to take care of so many things in the house. Thank you again. May God lavishly bless your 2023. America needs you and an army of men like you!
I love this. It’s so good for the solo ladies too. Calling a plumber in Australia is a $350+ call out fee.
You’re the Ron Swanson to my Ann Perkins !
I love my dad, but he’s always been an extremely busy worker and he never had time to teach me things like this. And both my parents never had patience to teach without screaming or getting annoyed. If I am ever a parent, I will always prioritize time like this. Thank you for everything dad! You’re helping many and I agree with the rest, we must protect you at all costs❤️ you bring hope and a smile to many of us.
Thank you for this. I almost cried when I saw a post on Facebook about your RUclips channel. You have no idea how much I appreciate you being someone who also grew up without a dad. Thank you for being a dad to thousands of people!!
Your dad jokes will soon become iconic!
My dad left me before I was born so I never got to learn anything about how to fix or do basic tasks. I love this guy so much because he’s like my dad. He deserves the world. I love his channel! ❤️
I do have a father, he just doesn't know how to be one. Anyway, whatever is above us human beings may keep you in its grace (if there is such thing), man.
Pops walked out when I was 9 and left us living on the streets. Only thing I ever learned was computers so I appreciate your videos quite a bit. Thanks, Dad!
I’m a single mom so I no longer have a man to do things like this for me, I also lost my dad a few years ago so I can no longer call him up..
thanks so much for this video! Means a lot to me 😌
My dad passed away in 2004 so I didn't know who to ask about my slow drain. After I watched this I went ahead and opened up my P trap....one word "EEEEEEWWWWW" The previous owners of this apartment clearly did not know to do this...the smell alone...then clumps of slimy black stuff. I don't think I even WANT to know what that is. Thanks Dad! I almost cried thinking about the fact that my dad would have liked you and thanked you. He once taught me to change a tire with the car set to neutral. He laughed quite a lot at me trying to take the lug nuts off before admitting what he did..such a prankster!
Wow, I can't believe how useful this was. Been living alone for over a year now and hadn't even considered doing any kind of maintenance. My sink wasn't able to hold water at all but this helped me fix it. Thank you so much!
Hey Dad, my daughter told me to watch you. Great Stuff!
You should do a video explaining Lefty Loosey, Righty Tighty.
Thanks Mark. 👍
New homeowner and my dad lives far away, I just declogged my sink cause of this. It was very gross but draines perfectly now. Thank you!
I'm a single mom and my son is my world. You're not just a dad of 2 you're a dad to millions!❤ thank you so much for all your help. You rock!
I too had my dad walk out on my when I was young, so I can relate. I also had no idea how easy it was to remove the trap of the bottom of the sink, so I’ve found a couple of other non-chemical ways to clear sink clogs that may be useful to your viewers and don’t involve removing any sink parts.
For me, most of the clogs happen at the top of the pipe in those four grooves in the circular water trap. If you don’t want to remove the water trap, you can very inexpensively buy a narrow, flexible brush to clean metal drinking straws. Open the water trap in the sink and use the flexible straw brush to clean the four grooves. If that doesn’t work, I have a small plunger that’s made for specifically for sinks, and this is also really inexpensive. Fill the sink with water and start plunging away. The combination of these two things has not yet failed me yet, but, if they do, I now know how to remove the sink trap. Thanks for that!

My dad was killed by a drunk driver on Valentine’s Day when I was 4 and there are so many basics I lack this was one of them. Thank you so much for being who you are!
I’ll be 40 this year, likely not much younger than you. But I wish you’d been a resource for me during my own fatherless youth. Thank you for this, you’re an example to us all of what humanity can do for its own. Blessed be.
Thanks for this, my flat's sink has been draining so slowly for ages and now it's fixed - you're a legend
I just recently lost my father to Glioblastoma, and you've covered some issues I needed help with that I'd normally ask my father. So thank you so much for helping me in more than just one way. ❤️
I'm 58 years old and I'm crying. Never really had a father (he was alcoholic) and home was never normal. Some wounds aren't healed by the passage of time. Your kindness is touching. Thank you.
my father was convicted of murdering my mother when i was only a year old, so i never had a father figure that i trusted enough to ask to help me. ive never really had a father figure at all in my life, but now that i’m living on my own, i had a lot of questions about things. every appliance to me felt like it was failing and i went through so many different videos to hopefully find something that was helpful. when i saw the channel name “dad, how do i?” i subconsciously clicked, thinking about all of the times i wanted a father figure to help, and this is an absolute game changer. it’s comforting and now i know how to do most things that my father chose to not be there for. thank you for being here, thank you for being you. thanks, dad 💙
This is awesome! My dad passed away when I was 13 years old and I don't have anyone to call when I need someone for help like this. Luckily, my hubby is great at this but I also would like to know more on how to do stuff on my own.
You are awesome!! I hope you upload more videos. :)
Oh my god! This is a brilliant channel! I love my dad but he lives far away and he’d just do it for me instead of teach me. My stepdad works a lot (I love him too) and he tells me when I need help “RUclips it” 😂 I actually have this issue and now it doesn’t seem so hard to handle thank you 🙏
Hearing about your channel to help young people without father figures brought me to tears today! Thank you for making these videos; they are very helpful.
Thanks Christa, my channel is for everyone, young and not so young. :0)
Plumber here. You got a big attaboy in the first 30 seconds. I know lots of plumbers have got chem burned by drain cleaner. Great job!
I wish I had seen this last night. Literally just had to take mine apart to unclog it (one of my kids decided to wash a muddy rock in my sink and got it good and rocky and muddy and CLOGGED). I went for the “screw it, learn as you go” method Bc I don’t have anyone to call for advice. Glad to know I did it correctly lol Thanks for your videos!
I have literally never done anything like this before. Have always enlisted help. Thank you so much for this simple ‘how to’... delivered so authentically. I was successful!. Thanks Dad!
Yes, be careful!! Had to take my husband to the ER after he had to get under the house to get to the plug, he found it, laid in chemicals till he had it repaired, and got 3rd degree burns on arms and back! Thanks dad, you’re anointed! 🙏🏼
You're a treasure. I have a wonderful dad but I still had no idea of how to do this. And sometimes when he shows me he uses 'man talk', and a lot of mumbling which I can't always understand anyways. Haha. Thanks so much!
This man is an angel and must be protected at all costs
Someone just talked about you on Redditt, loving these videos. It was in the You should know group , talked about uou in a positive way
I just came from there fellow Reddit user!
Ay me too
My mom's bathroom sink has been clogged for a while now, so it was very convenient that I stumbled upon your tutorial today. I tried out what you taught in this video and was able to unclog my mom's bathroom sink all by myself!! Granted, there's still some kind of deeper blockage beyond the p-trap that is still clogging the sink whenever the faucet runs (we'll get a maintenance tech to help with that), but the fact that I now know how to take off and reattach a p-trap is so rewarding!! I also grew up without my biological father in life and briefly had a useless stepfather, so I really commend you for creating this channel for fellow fatherless folks! Thank you so much!
I am so happy a guy like you is out there saving that fellow first time homebuyer millennial, from chucking money in the drain, by calling a plumber, because their hair is caught in a p-trap. I was born in 1990, and learned everything I know about flipping property from RUclips. I am an a RUclips University graduate student. Thank you for being part of the curriculum. My meals were delivered to our home by the church. My Christmas presents were a toothbrush. Just a toothbrush. That was the only present. If I can do it, anyone can.
I'm a "rookie property investor". I have 6 homes, and I've always done everything myself other than big scary things like HVAC. I do drywall patching, under sink plumbing, switch and socket electrical, painting, click lock flooring, door knobs, dead bolts, door peep holes, etc. I've learned everything I know from RUclips. My dad only taught me how to throw away every dollar I had on car loans and luxuries.
My kids dad died several years ago. I try, but I know I’m not enough. Thank you. 😢😍
Single mom here. We can are enough! It’s hard, but we can do it with help from friends and family and now Dad here :). It’s just me and my two girls and I am so happy to tell them I found them a dad! Lol.
No one can tell me nothing today. I came looking for this video and got right to work and fixed two of my sinks that weren’t draining correctly. I’m not okay with what I’ve seen, but it’s done!! Thank you!! I’ll be sitting over here gloating to my husband when he gets home 😂
I have an amazing dad that taught me everything I need to know. There is no one I have more respect for. But these videos are going to help so many people. You sir are a legend
Hey, I just found out this Chanel. I now and by the first time in my life I feel that I have a father. Thank you dad. Lovebu ❤️
You should do a video on how to change oil, that would be very helpful :(
He did a oil change video!

My parents moved out to their isolated cabin because of coronavirus. Thank you for helping me learn how to take good care of our house while they’re gone!
Was about to go to Walmart to buy a $10 unclogging liquid. But I’m thankful I checked here first. Thanks Dad
Appreciate your message so much man! Never had a dad in my life and this speaks to me. Hope the best for you.
I respect you so much for this I've never had a dad in my life so this really warms my heart thank you for everything you do 🥰
I can’t believe I found a dad after 5 years 😃✨
I'm happy to say the operation was a complete SUCCESS! Thank you for this. My dad is not in my life, so having to be "the man" of the house weighs puts pressure on me to magically know these things.
Thank you for this! I had a plumber come to the house to look at this exact issue and they said they couldn't do anything b/c the pipe was glued. Turns out it wasn't and I was able to fix it. I really, really appreciate you taking the time to share your knowledge with us!
hey man your videos are awesome! this one in particular helped me a lot, I managed to clear a ton of hair from the p-trap and underneath the stopper today!
My dad is really busy these days... You are helping me solve problems at my house (that I just bought!). Thank you for being a father figure to strangers. :)
Can't thank you enough! Saved me $100 . . . I'm the (single) mother of two grown (adopted) daughters. It was not easy for this old lady, but with your help I did it!
I love how people start to call him dad :'( my happy heart huhu. I saw you on FB dad, thanks for these wonderful videos. Love from PH ♥️
