Whats a good way to snake a kitchen sink? - Plumbing Zone

vinpadalino · 08-27-2010, 10:24 PM

When ever I do any drain cleaning I like to send the snake in and run some water behind it. Ive been connecting a supply line off of the hot water side and shoving the supply line down the drain line, but it seems like extra work. Any better ways?

Are you seriously stupid enough to shove a water line into a drain?

What the hell is the world coming to. It's no damn wonder plumbers get a bad rap....

The hits keep coming.......

What do you hook that non-potable supply line to right before you shove it down the drain?

I know I know! THE POTABLE WATER SYSTEM......
