What happens here

Carefully insert the head of the hand-cranked drain snake into the exposed overflow drain opening. While continuously turning the hand crank to feed the snake deeper into the drain, maintain slight forward pressure. If you encounter resistance, do not force the snake aggressively. Instead, gently work the snake back and forth or rotate it to navigate past the obstruction. The goal is to either hook onto the clog or break it apart.

Goal: Clear the clog in the overflow drain
