1- Buy an inexpensive cable auger, or plumber's snake. Augers are great for clearing deep clogs that can’t be reached by other means. If you don’t want to buy one, you may be able to rent one from a hardware store. While the cables coiled on a spool come in many lengths, a 25-foot (7.5 m) cable should be plenty for most household needs.
2-Remove the trap under the sink, if necessary. Some sinks have a
built-in strainer, so you may have to bypass this in order to reach the
clog. The “trap” is a j-shaped pipe under your sink. Some sink traps can
be removed by hand, but if this is not possible you may be able to
remove it with a wrench or channel lock pliers. Have a bucket close by
to catch any water that drains from the pipe after you remove it.
3- Slowly push the auger cable or snake into the pipe opening. Once it’s in a few inches, crank the handle on the auger while pushing the coil firmly into the pipe. The auger will slowly drive deeper into the pipe until it meets the obstruction.
4- Keep cranking the auger until you meet resistance. If the auger wire encounters a clog that is too big or strong to break up, it will resist turning. Crank the handle a few more times to lodge the wire firmly in the clog, then wiggle it gently to help loosen up the blockage.
5-Turn the crank the other way to withdraw the auger from the pipe. If you successfully lodged the auger in the blockage, the clog should come out with the wire. Clean the debris off the end of the auger and dispose of them.
6-Test your drain and repeat the process, if necessary. Run a little water in your sink or tub and check to see if it drains properly. If not, try running the auger through your pipes a second time, and repeat as necessary until your drain is clear.
