Flush Drain and Retrieve Debris

What happens here

With the snake cable still partially in the drain, turn on the hot water and let it run to help flush away the loosened clog material. Observe if the water begins to drain more freely. While the water is running, slowly retract the drain snake cable, continuing to use the power drill to wind it back into the drum. As the cable is pulled out, you will likely retrieve hair, soap scum, and other debris that caused the blockage. Be prepared to collect and dispose of this material, as it can be messy. Continue running water until the drain flows freely and clear.

Goal: Once the clog is broken, flush the drain with hot water to remove loosened debris, then carefully retract the drain snake, pulling out any remaining obstructions.
