How to Unclog Your Bathroom Sink With a Drain Snake
Current average price to unclog an internal drain (i.e. sink, toilet, shower): $344.58
You’ve tried everything you know how to do. You’ve removed your pop-up stopper and cleaned out the mass of hair, toothpaste, mucus, soap scum and goodness-knows-what-else from the topside. You’ve removed and cleaned out your P-Trap from the bottom side. But that one drain is still backing up into the sink.
You might need to use a plumber’s snake … and you might need a plumber.
If none of the obvious issues and their respective solutions, as listed above, takes care of your slow-draining sink, you’re gonna need to call a pro!

That’s why we called in reinforcements for this particular project. Our HomeServe homie, David Dertz, who’s a bona fide HomeServe network plumber, showed us how to diagnose and deal with a stubborn slow-draining sink.
