Fixing A Stopped Up Laundry Drain With A Rental Snake! #helpingothers #plumbing #diy

What happens here

Once the drain snake has been removed and any visible debris cleared, turn on the hot water in the adjacent sink (or directly into the cleared drain if applicable). Observe the water flow. It should drain quickly and smoothly without backing up. The presenter demonstrates running water multiple times to ensure the drain is completely clear and functioning properly. Hot water can also help dissolve any remaining grease or soap residue.

Goal: Turn on hot water in the sink to test if the clog has been successfully cleared and the water flows freely down the drain.
