A plunger can be your best friend and can be the easiest way to unclog a drain. A plunger uses suction to alternately push and pull the clog within the pipe until the force dislodges the blockage. A common plunger has a wooden broomstick like handle that attaches to a cup shaped piece of rubber.
Here's the procedure to use a plunger…
- Remove the sink stopper.
- Pour boiling water down the sink to breakup the clog as much as possible.
- Fill the sink up with enough tap water to cover the rubber portion of a plunger to assure good suction.
- Place the plunger over the drain and vigorously push down and pull up several times.
