I Haven't Paid a Plumber to Unclog a Drain in 41 Years—The $2 Trick I Used on 400 Units

Donna's large-print home repair books, and her free checklist: donnafixes.com Every slow drain has a story, and it's almost never the one the bottle told you. Donna spent forty-one years fixing plumbing in Chicago apartment buildings, and she walks you through the exact two-dollar plastic strip method she used on hundreds of units instead of calling a plumber. You'll learn why hair and soap scum tie themselves into a rope under your stopper, the one pulling mistake everybody makes, and how to time your drain before and after so you know it actually worked. She also breaks down why kitchen sinks need a different fix, when a slow drain means you actually do need a professional, and why that caustic gel under your sink might be doing more harm than good. 0:00 Intro 0:42 Why Drains Really Clog 2:10 Meet Donna 2:52 The Drain Tool Kit 3:48 Removing The Stopper 4:59 Pulling The Hair Out 6:57 Kitchen Sinks And Pro Calls 9:27 Ditch The Chemical Bottle
