I noticed water backing up into my sink when my dishwasher drains. Oh no, I thought. A partial blockage. I used some Liquid Plumr.
Side note, you go to the store, and there’s big jugs and small jugs and three brands and liquid and “gel” and one part and two part…I don’t know if you’ve seen that youtube short of a tiktok of a Tumblr post talking about how there’s no such thing as “glue”? Well this reminds me of that because who the fuck knows what these substances are?
Anyway I bought one and followed the directions and it didn’t work so I’m probably going to have to take my sink drain apart which isn’t going to be fun.
My goto for plugged drains is always 2 tbsp sodium hydroxide powder dumped directly down the drain chased with 1 cup of extremely hot water then plunging the piss out of it after it sits for about 5 min and then flushing the drain with plenty of hot water. That method hasn’t failed me yet. You just need to be very careful especially with the plunging step because, well, you’re plunging a drain full of hot lye. Out of all the ways to inflict chemical burns or lose an eye, that is certainly one of them.
