How to Unclog a Garbage Disposal Drain Pipe

If you got food stuck in the pipe after it went through the garbage disposal and you want to take the pipe apart yourself to clean it out, I show you how to do it in this video. This video is better for those of us who are "tool challenged". If you're an expert at fixing things, this video might be stressful for you to watch!

Also read through some of the comments! A few of them include good "mansplaining"!

As an "Afterword", there were comments to this video about changing the drain pipes from the "T" formation to a "Y" formations, which would mean stuff wouldn't get clogged in the "T" and I wouldn't have to take it apart any longer to clear it.

I asked the guy who installed my new garbage disposer about changing the drain pipes from the "T" formation to a "Y".

He told me the problem with that is while plenty of waste will go out easily with the "Y" set up (and I wouldn't have to take apart the pipes because a "Y" wouldn't get clogged), waste can build up further down the pipe and get clogged. That would mean either rodding out pipes or taking them apart further down the system.

With the "T" set up, anything that is small enough to get past the "T" can easily go the rest of the way out. It's cheaper to have a clog in the "T" that I can fix myself rather than have a clog further down the system that costs me money to hire a pro to clean out.
