This is just what i need. The drain on my sink is clogged and i’m having trouble fixing it.
Some noodles got washed into the drain and clogged up the swan neck syphon thingy because something solid was blocking part of it. At first i tried unclogging it using sodium hydroxide but this did not work. I tried opening the bottom off the syphon and got some noodles out but it was still clogged. I tried snaking it both ways with a simple spring type thing but no luck. I took the top cover off it and dismantled it as far as i could but can’t remove the syphon from the waste pipe.
But a bit of a TL;DR there now seems to be some kind of solid chunk of what feels like concrete in the syphon thing (i even tried drilling it out but that doesn’t seem to work either as the drill hardly seems to dig into it even with a decent amount of pressure). So should i just get a plumber to look at and or replace the syphon or is there anything i can still try?
