I think that there is a sock or something clogging my sink drain. All chemical drain clearing products have not worked. Does anyone know how much it costs to have a plumber come to your house and fix this problem?? Better yet, does anyone know how to fix this problem??
Here is a simple 5 step process to cleaning a clogged drain.
1. Remove the strainer from the drain. You should be able to remove the screws holding the strainer in place and pry it off easily.
2. Remove any hair or other materials from the strainer. Also, thoroughly clean off the top part of the open drain2.Place the plunger over the drain if it is still clogged. Push down on the plunger and allow it to come back up. Do this for one to two minutes. Run water over the drain to see if the clog has broken up

4. Pour a chemical cleaner down the drain. This can also help break up any clogs. You can use a brand such as Drano, or your own solution of one cup of vinegar mixed with one cup of baking soda.5
5. Replace the strainer once the water is running through the drain with no problem.
