Unclogging a sink without taking apart the P-trap

Unclogging a sink without taking apart the p-trap can be done effectively with the right tools and techniques. Here are some methods you can try:
Using a Drain Weasel
1. Insert the Weasel: Push the drain weasel through the drain until it stops. If the sink is full of water, use a rubber dishwashing glove to feel the drain.
2. Turn the Handle: Start turning the handle while pushing it into the drain. The flexible cable should go all the way into the drain.
3. Remove and Clean: Pull the cable out, clean it off, and repeat until the water has drained.
Using a Plunger
1. Designate a Sink Plunger: Never use the same plunger for your sink that has been used to plunge a toilet.
2. Cover the Drain: Take your designated sink plunger and cover the drain completely with the suction cup. If it has a flange, fold it into the suction cup.
3. Plunge: Push it back and forth to flush the clog out of the pipe.
Preventive Measures
• Dispose of Grease Properly: Let it solidify and then throw it in the trash.
• Use Drain Strainers: Keep them clean to prevent debris from going down the drain.
