Paint clogging a sink drain

Dec 18, 2003 5 Replies

Whoever freshly painted the house that my daughter just moved into, either poured paint down or rinsed brushes in the sink. Sink is clogged and daughter said two bottles of liquid Draino did nothing. What does she need to unclog this mess? I suggested paint thinner. Thanks, Monica


If it is latex try alcohol but removing trap is best

Use a snake...fits on the end of a drill. Most hardware's sell them.

Wishing you and yours a happy holiday season...

For the most cost and time effective remedy, simply remove and replace the plugged drain pipe. For 15 minutes work and about $10 material it's all done right.
