Mate you have just saved me a few quid! My sink was blocked and I’ve been plunging away to no avail. I followed your instructions on covering the overflow hole and managed to unblock my sink. On behalf of me and my wallet thank you sir!!
Glad it helped
"I'm extremely talented, so I can do it" Lol. :)
Lol
Yeah well i live alone so i’ve got no choice

So talented he couldn’t manage it
You're a legend mate! Blocking the over flow instantly unblocked it after a couple pushes. Cheers!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾
I spent nearly 2 hours watching a TON of CZcams videos and google articles.. this video nailed it with absolute ease.. NO money spent. NO acids or liquids/boiling water. NO getting hands and knees dirty tryna yank out pipes. (I did ALL of this and it didn’t work) Finally something soo simple done the job! I nearly lost hope and was dreading to spend a fortune. Wish I saw this sooner but so glad I did, Thanks again 🙌🏾
Thanks David. Please help our channel by liking and sharing
You are so natural and funny. Love your vids going to see if this works on my blocked sink. Thank you
Man, I don’t know you and this is my first time seeing your channel but THANK YOU! this is the only thing I’ve seen anywhere online that actually works.
I just unblocked my first clogged sink thanks to this video. It’s scarred me for life, but the blocking up all the water exits tip was where I was going wrong. I don’t comment on videos often, and may I add that the ridiculously gross experience was made slightly better with the funny commentary. Thank you 🤓 🪠
I've taken my pipes apart like 3 times trying to fix my sink. This worked first try. Youre a legend! Thank you so much
I dont often comment but after asking my landlady to call someone in and waiting to weeks for it to happen i decided to seek help online and this simple tip with blocking the overflow worked wonders!! Thanks a lot! I hope you have a great day
This is probably the most useful video I've watched on CZcams! Our kitchen sink was blocked, tried drain cleaner left overnight with no joy.
Tried plunging for a couple of hours. The water just would not drain.
Watched this video. Went back and tried again, this time blocking the overflow.
All it took was a few plunges and the drain cleared!! Amazing.
Glad it helped! Please watch another video, it helps the channel do good things
THANKS!!You just saved me!!! ..BEEN battling with my blocked kitchen sink all day...i bought coastic soda and another liquid unblocker and a black plunger similar to the one you have in your video but smaller, emptied half the liquids unblocker bottles , left it for 2 hrs , it didnt work.In fact when i used the plunger the water was coming out from the over-flow hole which means nothing was working! Only when i stumbled across your video and followed your technique i.e i block the over-flow hole first and then used the suction of the plunger in the sink like in your video and as if by MIRACLE all sorts of dirt,rubbish , etc gushed out of the sink hole! It UNBLOCKED MY SINK after like just 6 plunges!!!! Thank you and happy NEW YEAR!!Happy days!
Thumbs up for the help and for this - 'Out of respect to our channel sponsors and the wide variety of people who watch our videos, we will remove comments that do not follow common standards of politeness and decency.' Nice work.
Thank you for this VITAL yet simple piece of advice which saves POLLUTING the environment with toxic chemicals - which a plumber told me to use.
Our on-suite wash-hand basin has been so slow to drain. Using my old rubber plunger, it now disappears without a problem. You're a star!
That is great, made my day. I love to see a basin waste run away like new.
Thank you SO VERY MUCH for your helpful information in your video!! My kitchen sink was plugged up for around 2 weeks! I tried boiling water, over 2 bottles of Liquid Plumber, and a plunger very similar to the one that you showed in your video, and was going to try to take some of the pipes apart to find where the clog was, but I prayed for God to help me find another way. After finding your video earlier today I thought I'd try my plunger again after putting my strainer with the stopper in, and now the clog is totally cleared out!! Thank you SO VERY MUCH for saving me a lot of time and money! God bless you for your honest advise and helping so many of us!!
You just got a like and subscribe. The masking tape tip from another member helped, too. I hate DIY massively and was close to asking my plumber mate round.
Thanks man. This was an awesome video and look forward to watching more that you've made.
Great video, has worked for us after a week of blockage and trying home methods with vinegar/baking soda. I purchased the monument one having seen it work so well on this video.
Thank you!
2022 and still saving lifes 🤣, thank-
you very much for the video, worked for me.
I loved watching your video, very entertaining - and so helpful about needing to plug up the holes! It wasn’t working before… I went back to try it and the water went down! 😀 Thank you!!!
For 2 days we've tried chemicals of all kinds n nothing worked, last time I called a plumber he asked me for 250 euro..
I was just about to give up and call him again but then I tried this little trick: what a life saver!
This is one of the rare occasions where I found a genuinely useful and simple how-to video.Thanks a lot for your help, you got a like and a new subscriber right here!
God bless you!I was a bit hopeless before I watched your technique. It worked really well!Thank you very much!
Thanks so much! I followed your advice and it worked a treat. I had spent a lot of time and effort this week on a badly blocked sink. Now it’s all clear!
Thanks to this video I spent £4 on a plunger from Wickes, and successfully unblocked 2 bathroom sinks, so more having to waste £4-£5 every few months on a liquid unblocker 😬Thank you so much!!!
I used tissue to block the overflow hole. (Thought I’d mention that in case others don’t know what to use).
Sink 1 unblocked after 2 minutes. Sink 2 took a a bit about 3-minutes. Happy days, as I was contemplating soda and vinegar which there was no guarantee would work. So glad I stumbled upon this video! Saved myself a lot of time and effort.
Thank you so so much for this video!!........you saved my wallet no ends mate......I probably would of been plunging away getting nowhere if you didn't show me the blocking the overflow vent.........so thankyou mate....👍👍
Tried branded cleaners/plunger/soda crystals thought I was about to start opening drains. But your advice on the simplest of remedies WORKED. Cover the overflow. How simple and that created the necessary pressure to force all through and really clear sink. Thank you.
Glad I could help
Really helped with my sink!! Great advise!
cleared my kitchen sink in 4 plunges with the plunger. It was blocking the twin sink that I did not know about. Your video is priceless. thanks again
2 minutes with the plunger did the job !!!!!! Thank you
God bless you sir.
You are a life saver, I can confirm that this technique works 100% 😁
Thank you so much for helping.I really appreciate it.You unclogged my sink in 2 minutes.
