1) Remove the p-trap on your sink. Make sure to use a bucket to catch the water that comes out.
2) Remove the front screw of the drum auger. Push the snake through the pipe until you meet resistance. Once you meet resistance, tighten the screw up.
3) Spin the auger to drill through the blockage. Turn the handle as you push forward.
4) Hold on to the end to loosen the nut, pull the snake out just a little bit, tighten the nut and repeat the process.
5) Once you've felt you've cleared the blockage, remove the drum auger and replace the p-trap

I love her she’s so thorough.

I just LOVE Leah! She's so great at presenting things in a complete, easy to understand and no "fluff" kind of way. I've learned more than I can even remember from Leah.

So after watching a bunch of videos and trying to figure where the clog was and trying to figure how to use the snake..I found your tip for a bent pipe and to slowly push in the snake and turn the handle slowly when you meet resistance.. IT WORKED GREAT:) you saved me 200.00 dollars..and I'll be able to save more money for future clogs..thank you to all who are on to help one another.

just about the best videos i've seen online. no arrogance or, um, cockiness, not afraid to state things simply for people who may not have any experience with these things. nice and simple and direct, clear audio and video.
-
Leah is the BEST. She has the most reassuring manner, and having followed her instructions before, I know I can trust her advice. Many thanks for this helpful video!
-
One of the most concise and well-prepared how-to videos I've seen to date.
-
Leah is a national treasure.
-
Leah always explains these things in such a well rounded and easy to follow way. Top notch teaching and thank you!
-
Excellent video, no fluff, straight to the point, clear instructions, and genuinely friendly and encouraging. I'll look Leah up whenever I need to do a DIY repair.

I watched this video last night, then used my 25 ‘ drain auger (like the one you demonstrated). And it worked perfectly. I’d had trouble before with feeding it in “too much to quick”. You technique worked great on the laundry down pipe and the floor drain.
-
Was ready to call a plumber but found your video. In less than 3 minutes my drain is cleared. Very good instructions. Thank you so much Leah.
-
I love watching her, she explains everything so well.
-
I wish I could meet Leah. Such a great person
-
I always love your videos, and there are enough of them that I am delighted to stumble on them repeatedly when I need to make a repair. And even if you weren't encouraging directly, the fact that you represent a female that can competently make repairs is itself encouraging to me. Thank you and keep up the good work.

Big thank you here. I was on the verge of hiring a plumber to clear my drain which I wasn't able to easily accomplish. I worked for two days changing P traps and pipes. Nothing worked. Thanks for this video on how to use a snake. Worked great and was easy.
-

This kind of content is awesome. It shows she cares about her viewers' health

How are you so cool Leah!? I've learned so much from you! My first project was repairing my drywall I learned from you. Thank you! 😃👍
-
I normally skip these commercial diy videos but when I saw it was Leah I stuck around. Well played well played.
-
Thank you so much for making this video. You explained it so clearly, which made me feel confident that I could do this myself. I like being able to do small repairs and such without having to ask for help. Thank you once again. 😀
