This mechanism looks complicated, but it’ s not. It makes your bath sink stopper go up and down. It’ s easy to remove.
Q: Tim, I’ve got several plumbing repairs to make, and I just don’t have the money to hire a plumber. The water in my bathroom vanity sink drains slower than molasses. Just a year ago it drained really fast. Sometimes my toilet gets clogged, and I think it’s disgusting to use a plunger. Is there another way to unclog a toilet? Lastly, my shower head used to have a nice spray pattern, but now water doesn’t come out evenly and the pressure is reduced. Is there an easy repair for this? —Carol F., Spokane, Wash.
A: I’ve been a master plumber since age 29, and plumbing has always fascinated me because it’s a great exercise in three-dimensional puzzle-solving. It’s got lots of physics going on, too. Two years ago, I had a blast setting up a giant test structure in my driveway to record a video about what happens to flushable wipes when you send them on the journey to your sewer connection or septic tank. (You can see that video on AsktheBuilder.com.)
If you have a slow vanity drain, it’s likely that hair and other gunk are creating a blockage at the bottom of the drain stopper. It’s a very common problem, and all sorts of tools exist to try to get you to solve the problem without taking the drain apart. These tools do a so-so job, but I feel it’s better to just remove the drain stopper and get the drain perfectly clean.
