Step 6 · Use a Drain Snake or Auger

Feed the end of the drain snake into the drain opening. Slowly push the snake further into the pipe until you feel resistance, indicating a clog. Rotate the handle to break up the clog or hook onto it. Gently pull the snake back out, bringing the clog with it. Repeat as necessary. Flush the drain with hot water once the clog is cleared.
