If it`s the kitchen sink, open the cupboard where the pipe is situated, you should be able unscrew the pipe and take it out(remember to turn the water off via the stopcock)..check pipe to see it it`s blocked..You didn`t put cooking fat/oil down the sink did you, if you have hurry b4 it gets hard, still be able to unblock just take a lil longer. Remember to put bucked undder sink also.. good luck amigo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BURLAP Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 ugh, drano is fucking brutal, try and do it with some environmentally sound type of shit. if you live in a half decent sized city there should be a specialty cleaning supplies store. if not your city is wack.

!@#$% Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 these kinds of plungers in particular work well. http://www.ces.purdue.edu/onsite/plunger.gif'> also, snakes work too. http://www.rolac.qc.ca/IMAGES/A221.jpg'> i would also reccomend just taking the pipe apart if it's exposed and easy to get to.

Cracked Ass Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 Drano is not environmentally hazardous, unless you pour it on yourself or the environment. It reacts so quickly and strongly with any organic matter in its way that it will be completely diluted and/or broken down (into non-hazardous components) before it gets anywhere important in the sewer system. It is real dangerous to handle. Wear gloves and goggles, for real. One drop of backsplash in your eye and you may go blind. Don't use it for kitchen sinks, only bathroom drains. It destroys hair really well, but when it hits fats and greases (kitchen sink culprits) it can instead react chemically to make soap, which remains a solid clog. Exhaust all the mechanical options before trying chemicals. And then once you try chemicals, don't go back to mechanical means (snake, plunger, etc.) because any backsplash will then be full of the chemicals.

Guest sneak Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 thanks for tha advice people... i dont have drano, and at half 12 im not going to go and get some.. like numerous heads have said, plunging will be my best option to be honest. in fact, im past caring - the sink can fuck itself! tess - london town.

iloveboxcars Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 i think drano eats away at the actual piping as well which could lead to bigger disasters later. If you know what part of the piping is clogged just take that part out and put a new piece in its place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fermentor666 Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 I've used Draino before on a bathroom sink. Worked well, of course. I know the stuff is highly toxic and can burn you if it touches your skin. But is it really bad for the enviroment if you use it properly on your sink?
