Want to Fix it Yourself?"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Have a slow-draining sink?<\/p>\n<p>A perfect tool to break up minor clogs in your sink or P-trap would be a handheld sink auger, also known as a drum auger. All you need to do is loosen the retaining screw and then insert the auger into the pop-up drain in the center of the sink.<\/p>\n<p>After you insert the cable, you will need to retighten the thumb screw. Push the auger until you hit the clog and turn the handle clockwise while applying a slight amount of pressure. This should loosen any minor clog in your drain pipe or P-trap.<\/p>\n<p>Once the clog has been cleared, loosen the thumb screw once more and remove the auger from the sink, then you can flush the drain. You are now clog free!<\/p>\n<p>If this did not break your clog, it may be further down the line or even a completely different issue.
