Step 3 · Use a Drain Snake to Clear the Clog

This is the step most people slow down on. Take it one move at a time — there’s no rush, and you can rewind the clip as many times as you need.

If plunging fails, utilize a drain snake (plumber's snake) to reach and break up or retrieve the obstruction. Insert the snake, rotating it as you feed it down the drain. Carefully remove the snake, cleaning off any debris. Flush the drain with water to test its functionality.
