Tips For Dealing With A Clogged Sink Drain
If you notice that your drain needs more time than usual to empty, you should not wait any longer but rather do something about it. If you clean it immediately you can avoid a total block, which is more difficult to clean and often requires plumber's help. Sinks clog because hair, grease and other dirt accumulate and lodge near the drain.
In case of a slow drain or a total block, first empty the sink. Pour in liberal quantities of boiling water. This may dissolve the blockage. Do not use this method on plastic pipes.
Remove the sink stopper or strainer. Most wash basins have pop-up stoppers that can be removed by simply pulling them up. On some models you must reach under the basin and remove a nut that retains the pull control. Plug up the overflow opening with a wet cloth or have someone hold his hand tightly against it. This prevents air from being drawn in or water expelled as you plunge.
Run an inch or two of water into the basin. Or bail out the backed-up water leaving an inch or two. The water should just cover the plunger cup. Now place the cup over the drain and press down, tilting the cup as you do to get rid of trapped air. Vigorously pump the plunger up and down about 10 times to create a surge in the water trapped in the drain.
Lift the plunger sharply up from the water on the last upstroke. If the water rushes out, you have dislodged the blockage. Run water into the sink. If it doesn't go down easily, repeat the process.
Also called a plumber's snake, a sink auger consists of a length of stiff wire cable with a screw-like coil of spring at one end and a sliding crank that lets you turn the wire. Insert the snake into the drain opening and crank it clockwise and gradually downward through the trap under the sink until it breaks through the stoppage. Do not push the blockage. Try to hook it or break it up. You can distinguish between the mushy resistance of a blockage and the hard resistance of a bend in the pipe.
Place a bucket beneath the U-shaped trap under the sink. Unscrew the cleanout plug on the bottom of the trap with a wrench and let the water run out. Clear the stoppage by hand or with a bent wire coat hanger. Replace the plug. If there is no cleanout plug, remove the entire trap, which is held by two coupling nuts.
Remove the higher coupling nut with a pipe wrench. Then support the trap and remove the lower coupling nut. Clean out the stoppage and replace the trap. Do not over-tighten the fittings, or they may leak.
Chemical drain openers can be effective, but they are dangerous. Follow the manufacturer's directions exactly. If you get any treated water on yourself, wash it off immediately with cold water.

Any suggestions on how to remove the remnants of a wine bottle cork. The center came out but the sides did not
I ended up pushing the remainder of the cork into the bottle and then using a wine stopper/cap that has a strainer on the end. The bottle was stored on it's side so the cork should not have dried out. Would rather not repeat this on future uncorkings. Thanks.
sometimes it is the quality of the cork, not the way you are taking the cork out. This also happens, especially in dessert wines such as ice wine, italian passito, etc. The high sugar content it literally sticks the cork to the bottle, any sometimes this can happen. When you screw in the cork screw, if it breaks you can feel it, pull it out a bit at a time, each time give the cork screw a half a turn..it will go down further and you should be able to pull it out intact.
