I'm 16 and my parents have been struggling with money so being able to unclog the sink with out paying for a Plummer really helped! I'm so proud of myself and this is a life skill they seriously need to teach us in school 😂😂😂 thank you so much for the tutorial!
Agree...bless you for understanding what your parents are going through..Manu life skills are lacking in our young💕
same😂😂😂 i’m 177
Good job!

👏👏👏👏👏 Proud of you! Keep up the good job of taking care of your parents like they take care of you!
Back in the day it seemed like there was ALWAYS newspaper to be found laying around somewhere, but this video made me realize how much times have changed in this regard.
We still get a free paper delivered weekly. Probably would still get the Sunday if the local paper didn't purposely mislead us and cause our bill to double from the deal they promised. Ironically haven't missed it much after 3 years.
Man, I was thinking the same damn thing when I was watching this!
Yupp i just used the ads papers finally found some use for them
Where is the penny saver ??? Yellow pages??
I used paper towels
I’m a 21 year old college student and I’ve had a clogged sink since living in my apartment. To learn that I didn’t need to call a plumber and I could do it all by myself was so helpful! I was literally jumping for joy after I turned on my sink and there wasn’t any water rising to the top! THANK YOU SO SO MUCH! 😭
9 years down the line and your video is still helping ppl buddy. Thank you sooo much❤
Glad it helped
I just unclogged my sink, feeling like a beast rn
😂
I can relate 😂
Me too!!!!!
Haha
Same omg😂😭
As a 19 year old female who has no experience with fixing sinks or anything like that, this video was very clear and easy to follow and I successfully unclogged my sink. Thank You :)
Any woman that can handle her own problems is a major keeper imo!
Keep learning all you can about house maintenance! Not only is it a confidence booster, but it's also a big money saver.
@@davecrupel2817 so true
Thank you so much, 😊 alone with twins and zero help. I do as much DIY as I can have to, but unblocking my sink, products don't work, and plumbing, I needed help. No money.
Thank you for your big heart and free help to just help people, and not leave those with no money to fix some fixable jobs ourselves❤❤❤❤. Xxxx
I've been waiting a month for my dad to unclog the bathroom sink. So today was the day I took it in my own hands and your video was the very first one I watched! Thank you soooo much! Never knew it was just that easy!
My father does that too... it drives me insane so I've learned to just do things myself. Being disabled Caan make things more difficult and time consuming, but I will figure it out because I aint waiting another 2 weeks or however long before other people decide to help me🙃🤷♀️
Thank you so much!! As a single momma I can use all the help I can get! You're a lifesaver!! The kiddos clogged the sink days ago and I can't afford a plumber. Who knew it was this simple to get a toothbrush and clump of hair out of there, unclogging it entirely! You're awesome for helping us all out 💗
Good job! Glad I could help!
1. Thank you for putting this together. It takes a special kind of person to put out free, helpful content online that others can benefit from.
2. Nothing prepared me for the horrors of what lay waiting for me in the piping under the sink. It wasn't just my wife's hair. It had fused with some sort of demonic sewer creature to create an amalgamation, when bought forth into the light could have awakened the undead.
I cannot look at my wife the same. I should have burned down the entire house. The horror.
That is sooooo funny!
Unfortunately, in my household, I am the wife, and I get to do this..I know I should suffer the consequences of what i did on our sink but then again it would be nice not to be blamed on things I didn't do. Sounds like I need a therapist and not a plumber.
😂 😂 😆 😝
I'm pretty sure your mouth gunk and facial shaved off hairs contributed to the horror. ...smh....men
Yeah so we have 2 sinks, his and hers. It was hers.
I really loved this video! I’m a 20 year old woman that just worked under the sink hey hey 💃🏽💃🏽
Try Drain Opener from a plumbing supply store. It's sulfuric acid! It'll eat hair, shaving cream, and just about ANYTHING!
Just use a plunger like a normal person. Don't listen to this guy who rides the
short bus.
What is that drain opener it is a liquid ? Course my sink is clogged to long that I cannot use it please help.
Hank Bridges do not use drain opener ever with a clog.😂😂😂😂 dumbest thing people do thats how you ruin your septic tank.

As a girl who is single and lives alone, this video helped me immensely. You made this so seamless. I didn’t grow up with a dad in the house to witness activities like this getting done, so I just want to say thank you for posting. Thank you for helping others.
Six years after uploading this video, you are still helping people--I was able to unclog my bathroom sink! Seeing how easy this was for even a beginner to do, I would have been upset if I'd called a plumber out to do this for me. Thank you for this straightforward, easy to follow video. Hope you are doing well in 2021.
Make it 8 years for me ... Hope you doing well in 2023*
Thank you.
It’s 2024 and the video is helping me 9 years after it was uploaded by him. Thank You very much 🔧

Thank you SO MUCH. I'm a 50 year old single mom who has to do her own repairs. You have no idea what a blessing this is. It only took me 30 minutes start to finish!
Me too- single Mom doing all the repairs too.
Me three, single female doing her own repairs and this guy really helped me. Thank you .
I'm in my 30's, but same
Same!!! Single dad doing all my own repairs 🙌🏾
That's awesome
I gotta say I was hesitant to go through this process because I was hoping my baking soda and vinegar concoction would do the trick 😂. But hands down this is THE best way to clear a bathroom sink with a plug stopper. All your steps worked beautifully for me. Thank you!
Simple and straight-forward. This did the trick and helped immensely. Was proud to tell my Dad that it was taken care of.
Your instructions were so thorough that a 14 year old girl can now unclog sinks 😄😄
Just use a plunger you idiot. This guy rides the short bus.

I only had to watch this once and I successfully (and confidently) unclogged and fixed my sink! This is so helpful for someone who lives all by her/himself. A video that is straight to the point and very easy to follow. I bet this video helped so many people out there and i am one of them!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO!
You are very much welcome. Glad it helped and thanks for the kind words. 😊
This actually worked. I tried the baking soda, the plunger, several rounds of boiling hot water. Nothing. This actually got to the root of the issue, and even though what came out of the drain looked like an enemy from Metroid, thank you. Without you, I wouldn’t have been blessed with that cursed image. May you live a long life, as long as the hair that came out of my drain
Glad it worked well. Thank you for sharing your experience
I am a single 48 year old female. I tried this today, and it work exactly as you said/showed it would. I didn't have any newspaper, so I used paper towels and a screwdriver....worked perfectly. Thanks for posting this. I appreciate it!

Perfect directions for one of the most disgusting DIY jobs I’ve ever done. yuk
Not perfect since he miss reattaching the plug lever thing.
Thank you so much for this video. I’m a 28 year old woman and feel more confident now that I can fix things. The sink works great now. Thank you!
That's great to hear! Good job
2023 and I as a 18 year old needed my sink unclogged and watched this easy amazing guide once and did it confidently. Thank you so much for helping me learn a new skill now and for teaching others 🙏🏻.
You're very welcome! I'm glad I could help you learn a new skill and successfully unclog your sink.

My sink works better than before! Thanks, quick fix and no need for heavy tools.
8 years since posted, and still a big help. Thank you!
Just randomly started thinking about my stuffy bathroom sink and how I have no father to teach me these things so I just wanted to say thanks man.! Blessings 🙏
You are so welcome!
Thank you. I've been battling my sink for 16 years i finally have free flow water 😁

Perfect! We just bought a house over the summer, the sink never drained as it should but wasn’t horrible. Last night I guess it had enough. So clogged wouldn’t drain at all. Now I have it draining better than it ever has.
P.s. don’t eat before you do this
I was gagging as I did this lol
Big facts
I used bar soap and it’s a mistake I’m not making again lol
Literally filled with chunks of it, you helped me so much. Gonna refer people to this
bar soaps are awesome. you just need to get some good quality ones and make sure to throw it in the trash once it gets small enough.
This is really clear (no pun intended), short, accurate helpful, , and best of all, his voice is NOT grating or irritating or loud. And he does not blather on and on, endlessly fascinated by the sound of his own voice. I did wonder where that second piece of newspaper went. . . .
You Sir, have saved me a couple hundred clams and the ball ache of calling a plumber. Not all heroes wear capes 🤙
These instructions were awesome , was able to feel like a man after wife told me to unclog it it.
😂
Me too homie. Im trying to impress my girl.
@@carljohnson2050 - Go for it! One thing we appreciate is a partner that can use the tools to unclog the pipes!
My husband was a prof. House contractor he owned a construction co, he passed away recently, now I am learning to do the repairs on my home it is so expensive I cannot afford to pay those prices, I am retired this video was very helpful I was able to unclog my sink, thank you so very much for sharing this video, I am so proud of myself I did it. Thank you again!
I'm so sorry to hear that but glad you were able to find the video helpful. You're very much welcome. Great job to you!
Blesses my heart ALL of these videos the one issue I’m struggling with, screwing the P-trap back on, these guys do with zero issue.
Mine is Godzilla-level difficult. 😅😅
I literally thought i pulled a monster out of my sink. You saved my life
Thank you! My sink is now officially unclogged! Im sure plumbers are unhappy not to take my money away from me
I cant believe how easy that was! It took about 10 minutes in total and everything went exactly as it should. Sink drains great now!
Thanks for this vid. My wife is elated to have a free flowing sink drain in her bathroom thanks to your tips. Mission accomplished. From a geezer who's a wife pleezer.
Thank you so much! Single mom here, still learning! Thanks to you, fixed our severely clogged sink in 10min!
I just unclogged my sink thanks to you and I had no idea it would be so easy. Thank you so much for teaching us.
I'm 15 this helped a lot thx man respect to you
I didn't even need to remove the goose neck, just took out the stopper and cleaned it from there. I learned two things, clean up beard hair from the sink instead of forcing it down the drain and that this was easier than I expected. Thank you.
IT WORKED!! This is my first time fixing anything professional-looking in my house and I couldn’t have done it without your video!!! Thank you so much 😊
Good filming on this -- we had a geat view and could see everything well. Thank you! The newspaper trick is masterful!
I’ve always been by myself since I moved abroad there’s no friend who cares about unclogging the sink at my home even my brother he sticks his nose to games I’ve always had to do everything around by myself, this video helps a lot and saves me a ton of money. Thank you very much.
Awesome video!! My sinks in my master bath seem to clog every few months ever since it was remodeled. I haven't had the money to have a plumber out.
It's been unable for several months if not a year. I've been brushing my teeth in the kitchen and using the shower to wash my hands.
Well, no more!
After watching your video I felt I could tackle this. Finally tonight I made time to focus on it and got it done. Woot! Woot!
I'm so proud of myself. Thanks to your generosity for making and sharing this video I was able to unclog my bathroom sink all by myself.
You made it easy peasy. Now I just have to do the otherside. I'll tackle that tomorrow.
You saved me a lot of money by not having to call a plumber. I'm so thankful.
May you be rewarded 10x over.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. Appreciate it a lot. Glad to help
Was able to fix my sink because of your video. Thanks!

@@TomahawkDIY F#(k you.
i did this and now my sink drains again! thanks man!
Not going to lie, this job seemed so much bigger to do in my mind. I knew I had to complete this project! Before I saw your video I was hesitant. #1 thank you for being honest about having to endure the smell from this project.
I had my gloves, air freshener and plastic tongs to handle what I could not. Haha …plus, I used a skewer to assist with the paper towels I used to clean out everything. Gross indeed…Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I truly appreciate you and your gift of teaching others. My mother now has an unclogged bathroom sink at her house 😊
That's awesome! Thank you so much, really appreciate your your feedback. I'm glad you find my video helpful.
We've added every commercial product and used all the DIY recipes out there.
Nothing worked.
Watched your video and even two oldie goldies with questionable knees were able to clear the swamp.
Thank you so much for helping us save money and feel good about learning a new skill.
Thank you! Thank you! Worked perfectly. Took me a second to reconnect the drain stopper but so glad I didn't have to call a plumber! Blessings to you!
So glad it helped you! Thanks for sending a donation my way via PayPal!
Thank you so much! I just barely unclogged mine with so much hair I couldn't be anymore happier. Just a tip too my sink stopper screw was actually opposite to the video so I was tightening it instead of loosening it. Keep that in mind!
Thank you. My sink has smelled horrible for years and this short easy video had me fix the issue. Mine looked like something out of a horror movie but everything is now cleaned and put back together, not leaking and not backing up and best of all not smelling horrible.
Years later your video and expertise is still saving the day!!!
Glad to help! Thanks for the good words
Nice DIY video. I've done this myself. Although you didn't show how to reinstall the drain plug, which is a really important and a bit tricky step.
I didn’t need to continue looking for any more how to videos. Your was the first one I saw and it worked. Good job!
This really helped. Having no dad to teach these things really sucks, so it's just as well guys like you post these videos online :)
Just watched your video and unclogged my sink. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video! I just fixed the sink by myself, my husband was so impressed!
Thank you! You just helped me unclog my bathroom sink!! First time ever in my life. Such a highlight of my life during the self quarantine.
Watched the video and then did it within 5 minutes with zero problems. Awesome video. Thank you so much.

One of the best" how to fix videos" I have ever watched. Thank you
+Donna Boston one of the best comments I have ever received. 😀
All these positive comments are right on the money ! Your instructions were so clear and I loved the step by step manner in how you walked us through. Saved me a lot of money. Thank you
I just did my bathroom sink from watching your video. Thanks
Thanks !! Straight to the point and simple!! Easy fix!
Thank you so much for the helpful video!
THANK YOU! I was intimidated prior to unclogging the sink. Your instructions were clear and concise. I just learned a skill today so thank you.
Thank you for making this. Just unclogged my sink using this. It was gross but it is satisfying to see our sink drain perfectly. Respect for plumbers who do this regularly.
Wonderful!
Brilliant video. Best one out there. I've watched 1000 others. Thank you.
Can you make a video on how to fix everything and anything? Got any for fixing children?

thank you for taking time out of your day to make this video! very helpful :)
I don’t know if you even check this account anymore but my fiancé and i had run out of ideas and i finally found this. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So glad to help you!
Thank you Sir! Thank you for taking the time to show me how to do this very simple (but time consuming & yuckie job!)
My father knows how to do everything but
1- he doesn’t do how-to videos for me
2- he doesn’t have the patience to show me &
3- he’s older & weaker now so he doesn’t do many of the jobs he used to do because, thank the good Lord, he’s now going on 2 years cancer-free!!!
Pleazze make more videos for me and kids to learn to fix everything in our home! This is an invaluable tool to have!
Your instructions were better then my teacher tryna explain a math problem 😂😂🤦🏾♂️ talkin bout “how many miles will it take Johnny to walk to school if he takes a short cut”
I just tried this and even though it's a lot of work it's worth it saved me a lot of money thanks
Thank you! I moved in with a dirty roommate and she's literally never cleaned anything even before I moved in! You are a life saver, (fyi for anyone reading) just be prepare for it to smell like death and it to look like vomit but still an easy fix that takes 5-10 mins.
Glad it worked for you! Thanks for watching
I tolerated my clogged sink for months after chemicals and boiling water didn't do the trick. I saw your video and thanks to your simple instructions, tried it and successfully cleared out the small hairs that had built-up and gunked over half the diameter of my drain pipe (no wonder I kept having backup issues). I didn't have newspaper so I used brown packing paper from Amazon orders--only needed one pass to swipe it all. Got a little worried when the paper felt like it was getting stuck, but a broom handle successfully pushed it all through (I didn't think I had a screwdriver long enough). The hardest part was getting the drain plug in the right position based on the hole chosen in the rod underneath (shown at 2:08 - I have a different one which its clasp fell off and I had to guess where it was when putting it back on).
Thank you!!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. Glad I could help
It does work. Thank you
....You sir...are a lifesaver...
Thank you so much! My boyfriend would have killed me if he saw all the home remedy stuff I tried pouring down the sink. They were all just floating in the sink 😂😂😂. He walked into the bathroom and said what the hell literally one second before the clog plopped into the container and the sink drained. Now he just thanked me and said "seriously good job" three times before going to bed 🙌🏽😂👍🏽. Thank you so so much. This was so easy and will save us from wasting more money on products like draino that weren't working for us.
I am a 67 year old widow. I detest waiting on repair people to show up and then shelling out tons of money. Thank you so much. I had my bathroom sink working like brand new within 30 minutes. While I was at it, I also cleaned out my shower drain. I appreciate your video. 🎉
Hats off to you! You did great. Thanks for watching!
