Drain cleaning

[Poopyface]

How the hell do you clean out a bathroom sink drain that is not removable? It has a cap that you push to close and push again to open. It does not come off. There is a 3/16" gap for drainage.

Tried different kinds of Drano but it does't remove the **** stuck beneath the cap. Can't get to it from below.

Chainsaw? TnT? Bacon grease?

Um, try using some of these...or hit it with your purse Nancy.

Replace that **** with one you can clean. /thread.

Those caps screw off, try harder.

Off hand; neighbor had standing water that froze. Had to snake it & ice came out into the septic pit. Yup, in bathroom too-

Ask your boyfriend if he knows how.

Unscrew the nut holding the rod that goes into the tailpiece that connects to the stopper to the stopper rod.

Unscrew that nut and slide it and the rod back. The stopper will thin come out the top. When you reinstall make sure the rod goes back into the slot at the bottom of the stopper. It has to be aligned just right.

Dynamite , works like a charm.

That's the first thing I checked for but there is not one on the drain pipe. Tried unscrewing the cap but that **** won't come off without damaging it.

I will try a drain snake. The opening is pretty small though.

Take the trap off and go up from the bottom? I’m sure the problem is in the trap anyways.

So not your standard drain.

We need pictures. Top and bottom sides

Yes those pop up drains unscrew. It threads into the bottom of the strainer, i would be willing to bet yours is oxidized in real good. Post pics for more useless information you probably don't need.

Hooked to a cheetah charged to 130psi. Works every time lol

oh god
that'd be one to videotape

I was figuring that not being able to hold the plunger head down would be a pretty good regulated 15 psi, keep the paper thin pipes happier

Toothpaste and hair make a nasty sludge that builds up on the stopper stuff you can't see. Tear that pos out and replace it with something that can be disassembled and reassembled. For other blockages in the trap and further down get you a "black ****" that screws onto a garden hose. Insert and turn on water supply to hose.

Edit: found that you can buy via card. I will post pics tonight.

It unscrews try harder. That style always gets plugged up I would rip it out and install something that dosent get plugged as easy. I never used the stopper so I replaced all of mine with basic strainers. Haven’t had a problem since.
