Anyone know how to unjam the bathroom sink drain plug?

Question

Somehow I got the bathroom sink drain plug jammed into the drain and can't get it out. I even went as far as trying a plunger to try and see if it would suction it out. Please help!

Answer 1

If worse comes to worst, take the tail pipe apart from the p trap and poke a coat hanger at it from below.

Answer 2

You might try using a needle, or the point of a sharp steak knife to get under the edge of the stopper and pry it up enoughyou fingers under it and lift it up. The end of the stopper is attached at the bottom to the end of a rod, the top of which comes out on or behind the faucet. This has become disconnected, removing the drain pipe under the sink, you will be able to see the problem and fix it. If somehow you got a rubber sink plug jammed into the sink, you will have to remove the pipe that connects directly to the drain under the sink , reach up and using a wooden spoon or stick, push the stopper up and out, then put a chain on that stopper and hook the chain onto the faucets, so it can't fall down in there again. Good luck.

Answer 3

If it is the type that lifts up with a lever (ie, metal drain plugs) the lever assembly can get stuck through the drain plug. If this is the case the under the sink at the tailpipe you will find the lever mechanism, there will be a steel rod that runs through the tailpipe, slide this rod back out of the tailpipe a little bit and it should free the drain plug. Worst case is to remove the tailpipe, but don't forget a basin or something like that to catch the water that will drain out!

Augh ! That plug is way too small. Can you still see it? Try pushing on one side of it so it tilts to one side and you can hook the whole thing up with a straightened out wire hanger with a tiny bend (hook) on the end. To make this hook, get a pair of pliers and bend one end of the wire dont make a big bend, just 1/2 inch or so.
Try that.
