Dude you just saved me ALOT OF MONEY!!!! Ive called plumbers out twice they pumped septic tank twice. I was about to go get a pipe bladder. Still think its a good idea for clogs. I watched your video after seeing you could use a plunger. IT WORKED! Took a couple of minutes then i heard a noise from the septic tank. Then water went down. FIXED!!!! NO MONEY SPENT! My Wife and i didnt have much money this week. Watched your video, SAID A PRAYER,and did what you said. FIXED! THANK YOU GOD, AND THANK YOU SIR!!!❤❤❤❤❤
Bro -- for the past 3 years I have spent $300 dollars on plumbers every year to clear a drain. I purchased augers to no avail one year. I almost purchased a 600 auger today but Home Depot was packed and no one could help me remove the auger from the shelf. I came home to search up "How to unclog an outdoor drain with an auger", and lo and behold, you're here doing it with a 2 dollar plunger. Thanks a lot lol.
Thank you my main line clogged up the other day, I used the $250 electric snake I bought from harbor freight for 1 hour or so and it did not unclog the sewer line. I used the plunger and 30 seconds later the sewer line unclog. Thanks so much for your video.👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🙂
This absolutely works. I've used the method multiple times. I will add that there's one one thing you're doing in the video that could changed to make it even more effective. You plunged multiple times and the water squirted out of the sides. If you plunge hard just once or twice, and then the key part is, on the down plunge you hold your plunger down really tight on the sides so no water sprays out. Trapping all of that pressure from the moving water inside of the pipe. This maximizes the pressure and vaccume rather that quickly pumping and walking away.
@closinginonclosure will this work after plumber came and use the 50ft snake? He said he couldn't put the camera in because of the water. Now he said he know for sure it's sewer line now I gott wait on the city. And it doing exactly like this video...
@@malissaspain6573 An auger/snake being used has no bearing on whether you can use this method or not. This can be effective without using a snake, or if a snake has been used. Although I will say, if a snake didn't work, you may have a more serious clog or potentially worse, a collapse or root problem. But that's not for certain and just because a snake didn't work doesn't mean this method won't. I'd absolutely try this first before anything else. Also, if the water level is low you can try this, but if you aren't having success, add water to your pipes by flushing your toilet or running your tub so your clean out fills up. Weight if water can be your friend with stubborn clogs. Definitely try plunging your clean out. I've cleared the toughest of clogs by doing this. Create a tight seal. No air escaping and as much pressure as possible. Run hot water too if it's being stubborn. Feel free to message back if you have any questions. I'm on American central time and if you comment during normal hours I should be able to reply in a reasonable amount of time. Good luck!
Plumer here... The part that you have had to do it multiple times should be your cue to call a plumber with a main line machine.. you are probably clogged off roots.. get thise cut out it will be a few years before it will need to be done again.
@@andrewsaffle I appreciate the advice my friend, but I've done it multiple times at multiple properties of mine. Renters can sometimes be a little less considerate with how they care for and maintain plumbing, as repairs aren't on their dime. There is one of my properties that I've used this method on twice but a little over a year apart. I also tend to attempt most projects myself and only hire a contract of necessary for some reason. I've also used an auger. I just rent one for a few hours from home depot and do it myself if that's the route I end up needing to take. And there definitely was one time had to use root cutting attachments. This plunging method works just fine for any ordinary clog that isn't due to major root problems or a pipe collapse, or something of the more catastrophic nature.
Another problem solved 👌 😌 👍, man I've been at it for a good 30 minutes with a 30 ft snake trying to make it work and I was breaking through some what and I said let me UA-cam this problem real quick and sure enough after 3 pumps I got it unclog and boy was that satisfying. Thank you very much for teaching me something new today. And sharing it with the world truly a life saver and money saver beats the hell out of renting a 150 ft snake or calling a plumber to clear up what you taught me
I usually don't comment on videos but this video actually worked! Was getting ready to call out plumber and spend God knows how much money tonight but went out with the plunger and after a few tries it worked thanks again!
@loneboyhomesteader As a plumber this isn't a good idea... first . If you did actually get this clear... and it stayed clear... SHEER DUMB LUCK. in your own video you still had flow issues. That means 1 of 3 things. 1. You partially cleared the clog, enough to allow flow 2. Your clog is being caused by roots, this will re clog in a few weeks 3. You blew out your sewer main seal...knowing that you plunged it. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you get a Liscensed Excavation Plumber in there to snake your drain pipe.. if you're seal is blown.. your little home Fix it idea just cost you minimum $7000
@@andrewsaffle with all do respect.. of course you think you should hire a licensed plumber… you are a plumber. But I see where u are coming from. Being in a budget with two children I still like to do stuff myself. I’ve used drain bladders and special pressure washer nozzles before and they seem to do the trick as well.
If only the "contractor" that replaced our pipes....cut a clean lip...I can't get any suction due to uneven lip of overflow pipe...city sewer maintenence company doesn't understand why I'm calling them to check their city lines....because living on a hill means I see the county inspecting sewers way too often , and they do a clean out more often now that so many homes were damaged while they ignored maintenance...oh the cycle..
I was pretty defeated after trying to figure out why my plumbing was backed up. Used an auger - nothing. Liquid Plumr - nothing. Plunger worked in like 20 seconds! I owe you a cold one!
Just unbelievable, I've had problems every couple of years with that drain. I've rented a snake and bought gallons of liquid plumber, shoved hoses down there and wasted hours fighting the clogs and I see your video thinking no way that can work. So I think why not its late and I cant do anything about it at the moment and that stupidly simple solution worked in 5 minutes! I'm just speechless!!!
I was skeptical of this actually working but it worked. I was waiting on a plumber and decided to watch UA-cam videos on how to troubleshoot it and came across this video. Life saver 😊Thank you!
This actually worked.. The key is to keep plunger 🪠 pressure around ring and not pull plunger off a few pushes and main valve flowed again.. Thanks again
Thank you soooo much!!! This is the only one on UA-cam that actually helped me!!! Shower was messed up and was waiting days for a plumber to come. Got tired of waiting and did exactly what you did and worked like a charm.
Back with my update this worked for me. I purchased the vortex plunger from Walmart. Took about 5 times of plunging and it cleared my clogg. Thanks for this video!
So I rented a drain cleaner from Home Depot and it was the manual one that did ntn other that hit the clogged part. Went and got a heavy duty plunger cause the one I had was useless. And it fixed the issue in less than 10 mins! So thank you! I prefer to do things myself so this was very helpful
Holy hell… i see videos on aquajets and augers (30ft auger i have) i use augers often to unclog drains but this main drain line it wasnt working on… i plunge 4 times and it cleared it!! Couldnt believe it my neighbors were staring at me laughing like a court jester at my drain valve lmao 🤣 great video!!!
Thank you man. City refused to help even though they get paid to unclog shit like this in my city so I took it upon myself after googling and now miraculously everything in my house drains again after a few plunges.cant believe I spent 2 weeks waiting for help and washing my hair in the sink and the fix was this simple they were just too lazy to even look inside the pipe
Thanks for the video. We are on a septic system and the cleanout pipe is only a few feet from the tank. I slowly opened the cap to the cleanout pipe until water started coming out. I let it bleed out until it quit. I bought a cheap accordion type plunger from Walmart that fit the cleanout cap perfectly. A couple plunges did the trick. Now my cleanout pipe is dry unless we use water. Thanks for the video.
Thank you so much. After hours of using that long Gadget, I took to utube. Saw your video and, my grandson could not believe it Flushed out on the third or fourth try. My husband could not believe it as well. 😅 thanks for your help.🎉✋️👊💪
I randomly scrolled across this video after being defeated from snaking out my clean out for over a day, within 30 minutes after watching your video my toilets are flushing again! Thank you so much. I always wondered what that plunger was used for when we moved in, the previous owner left it. I should’ve looked up then what it was used for
Thanks for this video man! Was trying to unclog my main line with a 25’ drain snake and couldn’t get it after trying for an hour. Just tried this after watching and it worked! Damn I love YT 😂
Great video, I tried everything baking soda vinegar hot water and nothing works ... then I tried your advice after 5 seconds the drain is clear 👌 🙂 thank you .
worked for me at 2am, and did it with a plunger from 99c store. Was going to wait until 6am to rent a professional snake. saved my back ( from that heavy snake machine), my ass, and my wallet! (in no particular order)
sorry...I have to as this question. Did it really smell bad when you open up the cap? My sewer clean out is located between my house and the house next to me. if this happens to me sewer will spill into some portion of neighbor's yard. What would be clean up process?
I'm not really sure on the clean-up, at my house it's in a flower bed so it's all contained. I just let it sit there and dry and take it into a trash bag. And it can smell bad initially but it's not really a lingering smell, so it should be okay.
How to fix in 10 steps: 1. Water backed up onto floor from toilet and inside bathtub 2. Panic 3. Call plumber 4. Watch UA-cam while plumber says he's going to eat dinner first 5. Get drain bladder from store after watching UA-cam videos 6. Get angry because drain bladder doesn't work -- water backs up again onto floor 7. Despair 8. Watch UA-cam again for how to use a drain auger 9. Plan trip to home depot to buy/rent drain auger 10. Stumble on this video and unclog my drain in 20 seconds
I have a question would you be able to put liquid Drano in the outside pipe? I have not done anything yet. Just wondering if anyone’s ever attempted and did it work
This house is on a city sewer that was installed in the 1940's, old clay piping. So it ought to just work that much better, say like on a modern PVC system.
How often do you have to do this? This happened to me for the first time today and I followed your video and it worked like a charm, I hope this doesn’t happen often
This house was built in the early 1940's my granddad built it. There's been huge pecan trees all around the property so the lines do get clogged with roots so we have plumbers clean out the line every couple years. This usually would only happen if there was months of continuous usage of the drains. My aunt lives there and generally I'd do this twice a year. One time I did it 3 times in one month and that SUCKED but somebody's gotta do it
So my toilet is backing into my tub and there's shit coming out of my bathroom sink drain like it's full and only slowly draining u think this will work ive snaked it from the roof the main the sink the overflow and the toilet multiple times idk what else to do
If you know 100% your line is plastic all the way to the main/septic this may be a solution. If it’s clay, you’re only making your problem worse, as there are roots growing into the line. Toilet paper grab and stays with those roots causing the blockage. Over time those roots grow from the size of your hair to the size of your thumb. The bigger they get, the more they will eventually break the pipe, causing mud, sand, stone, etc to wash away and collapse the pipe. Ultimately, called a professional as your not solving your actual problem, but creating a temporary solution
I know that, my aunt lives in that house and she'd have the plumber out usually once a year to get the roots and growth out of the line. This is just for your everyday Joe who wants his commode to flush
Usually clogs are in or around the cleanup. This is a temporary fix if it's a chronic issue, and yes, it's ineffective if the clog is too far down but usually that's not the case
Just raw dogging that clean out with no gloves and sketchers on 🫡 💪🏾
Yep! Definitely don't recommend it
raw dogging
Do you need to shut off water before doing this?

How to fix in 10 steps:
1. Water backed up onto floor from toilet and inside bathtub
2. Panic
3. Call plumber
4. Watch UA-cam while plumber says he's going to eat dinner first
5. Get drain bladder from store after watching UA-cam videos
6. Get angry because drain bladder doesn't work -- water backs up again onto floor
7. Despair
8. Watch UA-cam again for how to use a drain auger
9. Plan trip to home depot to buy/rent drain auger
10. Stumble on this video and unclog my drain in 20 seconds
I have a question would you be able to put liquid Drano in the outside pipe? I have not done anything yet. Just wondering if anyone’s ever attempted and did it work
Will this work with city sewage? My clean out is clogging up as well.
This house is on a city sewer that was installed in the 1940's, old clay piping. So it ought to just work that much better, say like on a modern PVC system.
36 hours later... backed up again !!😂😉
Worked like a charm you saved me alot of money.😂😂
Glad to hear that!
Wishing this would work on mine 😩
Just noticed it overflowing yesterday poop everywhere 😝
Yo truly 200iq my guy thank you so much. Now id feel really dumb paying out 200 after just 10 seconds worth of work lol
Thank you!
It didnt work for me, what am indoing wrong, should i wet the plunger first?
Didn’t work for me
What ended up working for you
Thank you sir that's just what i needed to know saved time and $$$
You're welcome, glad I helped save money!

Definitely worth considering
Sorry to be so inept but does this cause any overflow to toilets etc inside the house?
No it doesn't
So my toilet is backing into my tub and there's shit coming out of my bathroom sink drain like it's full and only slowly draining u think this will work ive snaked it from the roof the main the sink the overflow and the toilet multiple times idk what else to do
Well just went thru a sh*tty sh*tty situation and wish TO GOD ALMIGHTY I had seen this first. IT WORKED. IT WORKED UBER WELL!!!! TYVM!!!!
You're welcome! Glad I was able to help!
If you know 100% your line is plastic all the way to the main/septic this may be a solution. If it’s clay, you’re only making your problem worse, as there are roots growing into the line. Toilet paper grab and stays with those roots causing the blockage. Over time those roots grow from the size of your hair to the size of your thumb. The bigger they get, the more they will eventually break the pipe, causing mud, sand, stone, etc to wash away and collapse the pipe. Ultimately, called a professional as your not solving your actual problem, but creating a temporary solution
I know that, my aunt lives in that house and she'd have the plumber out usually once a year to get the roots and growth out of the line. This is just for your everyday Joe who wants his commode to flush
Legend has it this dude still showering to get the stink off
Try a mop with a bag tied over it, always seems to work👍
I've had to do this several times before. I have a question tho, if it's filled to the with water could you use draino?
I'm not sure, I'd ask a plumber if I were you.
you saved me hundreds of dollars thank you
Glad it helped! You're welcome!
Thank you so much🙏
Thank you very much. I've spent so much money. And this method worked quickly. Sending you blessings 💜🤍
Blessings reciprocated, glad it was helpful!
You saved my ass. Literally
I'm glad to hear that!
Thank you so much if you know how much money I have wanted
All the toilets, the shower wouldn't drain. Used some suction to the valve and it worked. Thanks
Glad it helped!
I would pour main lune cleaner once the water goes down...
Helpful idea 👍
I could see where that would work if you were close to the stoppage but if it’s 30 or more feet down the line I don’t see that working
Usually clogs are in or around the cleanup. This is a temporary fix if it's a chronic issue, and yes, it's ineffective if the clog is too far down but usually that's not the case
