Скачать или смотреть How to Thaw a Frozen Drain Pipe (Baking Soda & Vinegar Method)

Woke up to a frozen drain? Before you call a plumber, try this simple science-inspired hack using baking soda, vinegar, and salt.

In this video, I show you how I diagnosed a frozen P-trap (finding that weird "white sandy ice") and the exact steps I took to thaw it out. It's not instant magic—it takes patience and the right chemical reaction to generate heat directly where the ice blockage is.

I cover removing the standing water, the mixture of salt and hot water to lower the freezing point, and how the exothermic reaction of baking soda and vinegar helps break through the ice.

I use a Flotec 1/12HP utility pump that I bought in store at Home Depot 5+ years ago. I found this 1/10HP pump on Amazon which you may want to take a look at:
