As the host of beloved and groundbreaking TV series including “This Old House” and “Bob Vila’s Home Again,” he popularized and became synonymous with “do-it-yourself” home improvement.

Why Trust Bob Vila This 50-foot electric drain auger can reach deep into a drain system to clear the majority of clogs, eliminating the need to call a professional plumber. The auger sits in a heavy steel frame and is activated with a simple foot pump, which lets users concentrate on locating the clog while feeding the snake with their foot. For a complete kit that clears sink drains with ease, rely on the Breezz clog remover with drill adapter. This versatile kit comes with everything you need to snake a sink drain, including a 25-foot heavy-duty steel snake, a drain hair remover spring, and a pair of gloves. The Ridgid Power Spin tool is a solid option for clearing common clogs throughout the house. Its manual crank sends the 25-foot ¼-inch cable twisting and turning into pipes while the screw-shaped head chews through semisolid obstructions, yet can also catch and retrieve hair, paper, and other fibrous gunk.

The kit includes three 19.6-inch ABS-plastic sink snakes with toothed heads for removing hair clogs from the sink drain and shower drain. Two 24-inch retrieval tools have a four-claw head with a plunger mechanism that opens and closes the claw to grab such items as earrings and rings. And for tougher, deeper obstacles, there’s a 39-inch steel drain snake that can handle clogs within about 3 feet of a drain.If these options fail, consider removing the P-trap to insert the snake beyond this problem spot. Then replace the P-trap once the pipes have been snaked. Q. How often should you snake your drain?
