how do you unplug a sink drain.?

Question

this is the kitchen sink I have check the drain trap and tube to the wall are clear..

Answer 1

If the pipes under the sink to the wall are clear your stoppage is further down the system, it could be anything from a grease blockage to roots in the line from a broken pipe. If your house is older with cast iron pipes your could be looking at costly repairs. You can try the hydrochloric acid, but with a stoppage down in the system it probably won't do any good. You're probably going to have to call a plumber........If you try the acid, Tell the plumber before he starts working on it,

Answer 2

Call the Rotor Rooter man. If you don't have a snake, don't put chemicals in the drain. They can react with stuff in the drain. You could get a boil over, splash back, or minor explosion. People have received serious facial injuries and blinding from chemicals flying back through the drain opening.
