Retrieve the Drain Snake and Inspect

What happens here

Once you have fed the snake as far as you believe necessary, or if you feel the clog has been cleared, reverse the cranking motion or use the trigger mechanism to retract the snake from the drain. Carefully pull the snake out of the drain, inspecting the tip for any hair, soap scum, or other debris that was removed from the clog. In the video's example, no material was found on the snake, suggesting the clog may have been further down, already cleared, or the snake missed it. If the clog isn't cleared, you may need to repeat the snaking process or consider other methods.

Goal: Remove the snake from the drain and check for removed debris
