• Wear a pair of gloves to protect your hands from
  bacteria. Youll be dealing with a drain pipe so
  might as well protect yourself from harmful
  substances that may compromise your health.

• If theres any standing water on your basement
  floor, scoop it out with a bucket.

8

• When youre done getting rid of standing water on
  the floor, go find your clean-out access. It
  provides access to the pipes so that they can be
  inspected and cleaned without any trouble.

9

• Remove the clean-outs lid with your handy dandy
  wrench.

10

• Carefully insert your plumbing snake into the
  pipe. Turn the crank clockwise to push it further
  inside. Dont forget to pour water while youre
  doing this.

11

• The water will add pressure to the snake and help
  it progress inside the pipe.

12

• Once you reach the clog, keep on turning the
  plumbing snakes crank clockwise. Doing so will
  break the clog. Keep on doing this several times
  until you no longer feel any resistance inside
  the pipe.

13

• When youre done getting rid of the clog, slowly
  pull the snake out. Have a bucket ready by this
  time in order for you to dispose waste materials
  that will stick to the snake.

• After removing the blockage, pour a pot or a
  kettle of hot water into the drain. Doing so will
  wash leftover particles and sediments away.
