SLOW DRAINING
Get a small cable cleaner to go past the drain or plunge using a small sink plunger covering the drain vent in the sink with a rag Remember if you put acid down it and it plugs you get to play in acid. With 20 years past experience in a 500 unit apartment I still prefer removing the p trap and using a cable followed with hot water.

Some might respond to putting chemicals in there, but many will not. Mechanical cleaning is usually the most effective and safe solution. -- Joseph Meehan Dia 's Muire duit |

You need to know how to do this in case you drop a ring or ear ring or something else in there. Some times it's as simple as a Q Tip that has caught a lot of hair. In any case, it's something that every homeowner should know how to do, and will save you $$$ by not having to call a plumber. One of those little attachments you put on the end of a garden hose that give it a blast of water works pretty good, too, if you don't find anything in the trap. Cost, less than ten bucks. Steve |
