I put a box and a half of cooked spaghetti down the disposal last night. Within 30 seconds, my dual sink would not drain on one side, then the other. I have tried the plunging method for an hour. My brother in law said he has never seen a clog this difficult. Is spaghetti that difficult? I will try Drano overnight? He is going to bring the snake tomorrow. Will the snake do the trick? I just finished paying off school loans and am broke and am hoping the snake will work. He said spaghetti was never a problem for his house and it may be an overall drainage problem but it is way too coincidental. I am so mad at myself. Any help would be sooooo welcomed.

Don%26#039;t drano your disposal....ugh!

Hold one side shut with a cover and towel. Take the top off your sprayer, insert it into the other side, push it in, get another towel and hold it over. Build up pressure it will shove it out!

The snake will probably work. Pasta is just like rice... it swells with water. No way to really get it out but replace the pipes or chew it out....good luck!

Why don%26#039;t you take the drain loose and dig out the clog. It is very simple to do and sorta easy to put back

for starters a disposal is for scraps not meals. the snake should do the trick . i hope it is a 50 footer 25 ft. are rarely long enough. for future info. never pour hamburger grease down the sink either.

Look under the sink. Now, do you see where the bend is in the pipe? There should be a shortish curved pipe there called the trap. Take it off and clean it out. DON%26#039;T do the Drano of you%26#039;re going to have it snaked. Snaking would almost certainly clear the clog if it%26#039;s just spaghetti. If clearing the trap doesn%26#039;t work, snaking is your best next option. You should probably snake from where the two drains meet under the sink, and on down. I hate garbage disposals, mine caused more trouble than it was ever worth. I took mine out.

Last year the exact same thing happened to me except when I got my sink plunged so that water would drain the spaggetti and water came up out of my downstairs shower and laundry room drain. I used a snake and that did the trick. I have very sensative pipes because of 3 100ft+ trees that were in my backyard. Although the trees have been gone for over a year the roots still seek water and creep into my pipes. I do a yearly maintance of a root clearing substance that I put into my pipes now and the flooding seems to have slowed. Good Luck.

I doubt the drano will work. Hopefully the snake will work. I%26#039;ve never had problems with spaghetti but I%26#039;ve had problems with too many potato peelings in disposal. ALOT of plunging helped though. Also when I was making applesauce once I put way too many cooked apple peeling mush in the disposal. I plunged like crazy and nothing worked. I ended up hiring a plumber the next day and he had a real tough time getting it unclogged. But he did fix it. He said the apple mush expands in the drain and that%26#039;s the problem. I suspect maybe the cooked spaghetti expanded as well. I was sooo mad at myself too. I know it%26#039;s a pain for you right now, but it will get fixed and everything will be ok. Just remember to put small amounts of stuff in the disposal. Good luck.

No Draino. First of all, when the draino does not work, then you will get draino all over you and everything when the pipes have to be taken apart. So, since the clog is probably near the sink, (at least if you haven%26#039;t plungered in even farther down) Wait for your brother in law, you have to take the pipe apart under the sink to put the snake in anyway. Prepare to spend about a dollar on a couple of new gaskets when you put the pipe back together. Hope the pipes aren%26#039;t too old. Next time put the spagetti in the trash or the toilet.

NO DRANO!!! read our lips: NO DRANO!!!! Got it? it can burn and/or blind whoever winds up working on the plumbing. that s*it ought to be illegal. NO DRANO!!! Same thing for LiquidPlumber, Acid drain cleaner, lye, etc.: DON%26#039;T USE THEM.!!! Take a solid-metal stopper and plug the dispoze-all%26#039;s top, and hold the stopper down with one hand while you plunge the hell out of the other sink-drain. Failing that, disassemble the %26quot;p%26quot; trap (shaped like a %26#039;u%26#039;) under the sink and have a bucket under it, hopefully the spaghetti will slither out. You might also have spaghetti in the drain pipe that goes into the wall: that%26#039;s where the snake comes in handy.

Boiling water before drain cleaner. Baking soda in drain then dump vinager in fast quickly plug drain hole this works for mild clogs %26amp; is non toxic.

Take the U shaped sink trap off %26amp; dig the garbage out. Sometimes a wet/dry shop vac works wonders.

You might have to remove the disposer %26amp; pipes. Be careful if you already used chemicals. Keep the pasta wet otherwise it will dry out %26amp; harden.

Have fun!
