The Fix-It Playbook — How to Clear a Slow Bathroom Drain | 6-Page PDF | 2026 Edition

A slow or clogged bathroom sink is almost always a wad of hair and soap in the trap — no harsh chemicals, no plumber. Just a bucket and ten minutes.

Inside: The honest cost comparison · Step 1: Know what's under the sink · Step 2: Figure out where the clog is · When to stop and call a pro instead · What you'll need · Troubleshooting · What the repair tech won't tell you.

Doing it yourself: $0 with a bucket and pliers; a $5–10 zip-it hair tool makes it even easier. Calling a pro: $100–200 to remove a trap and pull out hair — a ten-minute job.

6 pages of labeled diagrams, parts lists and real numbers — no filler, no 40-minute video. Instant PDF download: print it for the garage or follow it on your phone with the parts in hand. Yours to keep, no subscription.
