slow draining sink?
I have a sloooow draining bathroom sink. In the past, I've been able
to seal off the overflow and then apply a plunger, and that would fix it, at least for a while. This time, the plunger has no effect. I want to try one of the chemicals that you pour into the drain. I've looked at Drano and Liquid Plumber at the store. Which of those 2 products might serve me best? Or maybe there is a better product, that's commonly available at Home Depot or Lowes or etc? Thank you Lee Carkenord |

Chemicals (corrosives) may help, may even clear it, but a snake removes the clog. You may want to open the trap and check it out to see if the clog is just a big hairball that you can pull out. I've take short cut, but nothing works better than a mechanical cleaning in the long run. |
