Hi I am someone who has just used a Drain King and is in love with it!! it worked excellently!! If you have not used one before, it is extremely simple - you literally take the Drain King screw it on a hose put the Drain King down the pipe enough so that the bladder is completely covered up or submerged in the pipe and then turn it on. The bladder has to be completely inside the pipe because one of the key features is that the bladder expands to lock the Drain King in place to prevent any water from coming back on you. The dream-king works by locking itself in place with the expanding black rubber bladder and then through devices that are installed on the inside of it, on the nozzle it pulses the water. This has a powerful effect on the line because one of the things about liquids like water as compared to air is that a liquid cannot be compressed which means any pressure placed on one portion of a body of water will be transmitted through the whole body of water so the pressure created by the Drain King at the end of the nozzle is felt throughout the whole pipe that's filled with water or your clock whatever. A few key things to understand about the Drain King. In the video here the fellow had a very long drainpipe and it looks like he's simply shoved the Drain King down it. You may have a clean out in a wall or some other sort of access that's not just a simple open pipe in a room that you shove the drinking in the hose down. If this is the case it may or may not be possible to get the drain king and the hose in the pipe to do the job. As I said above it's critical that the Drain King be completely in the pipe so it can expand and do its work. Now, having mentionef different things where your Drain King may not fit in, it is also possible to create or make a situation that lets your Drain King work properly. What I am talking about is cutting off, or cutting into I should say, the vent line associated with your washer drain line. That is what I ended up having to do. The vent line is typically buried in the wall above your washer drain connection and or your clean-out, you'll have to check your house. To get at it youll to punch a hole in your wall but that's not that big a deal to fix a hole in the wall compared to being able to drain the washer drain line and have the little lady use the washer to wash clothes, trust me. You'll also probably notice your clean out and or your drain connection are made out of cast iron or some sort of heavy metal. When you cut into the wall you'll most likely find that the drain line going to the roof is made out of copper and is very easy to cut into. When you finally do get to this point if you are going to cut into a copper vent line make sure the section you cut out is big enough to allow for the couplings that you'll need to use to put it back in place, in other words to restore the drain line to a single pipe. I would recommend cutting at least eight in probably closer to 12 of pipe out for you to work with. Punch a hole in the wall, expose the copper pipe, go 5 or 6 in above where the copper pipe meets the cast iron, and then cut out a 12 in section. Your drain king and the hose will now go straight down into the pipe to do their job and, once completed, you can get a couple of rubber couplings with radiator clamps from Home Depot just ask for pipe couplings in the size of your pipe and basically slide them over the top and bottom lines where you cut tying them up in your pipe is back to being a solid piece. You may also need to get a handheld snake to work with the Drain King. That is what I had to do. And that is no rap on the Drain King! The Drain King was a huge help in developing pressure and pushing stuff out but I was cleaning a line that it's probably not been cleaned in 50 years and I'm not kidding 5 0 years. if you do get a snake I would strongly recommend that you get a simple handheld electric snake that goes on the drill and works with some sort of motor to turn the snake. Again you can rent them from Home Depot and if you have an inch and a quarter inch and a half drain line the 5/16 snake let's down to the electric drill work late. Try not to listen to The Home Depot rental people cuz half the time they don't know what they're talking about. last night's th HD guy was trying to tell me a 5/16 diameter snake would not fit around the corner in a one and a half inch pipe cuz it had quote-unquote a piece of metal inside the snake. Freaking ridiculous!! it works like a champ!! anyhow I pretty much put a ton of stuff down here for you think about it and act on. Remember there's always a ton of information or other KZread videos that you can amass Knowledge from. Good Luck sorry if the spelling awarding was dinged up anywhere I tried to catch it when I could0

Lint build up coming from the washer causes these backups. Our washer drains into the sink in the basement. We put a cricket cage on the end of our hose because of the lint always clogging the drain. I know not everyone can do this because your drain house is in the line running to your sewer. But, you'd be shocked at the lint coming out off the washer. We have to clean out the cricket cage at least 2 times a month. It becomes so full water no longer passes through the mesh.

Thank you so much! I have a slightly different chronic clogged drain problem. I live in an apartment bldg and my tub drain clogs all the time. I've tried all the things you talked about snaking, heavy duty drain openers. Works for awhile but always backs up again. I've spent a lot of money on drain screens, nothing is going down there but still clogs. I think the pipe is connected to other apartments and that may be the problem. I'm interested in trying the Drain King. Looks like I'd also need to buy a hose to attach to my bathtub faucet to attach the Drain King to. Looks like I would need to keep a good grip on the Drain King push it down into the drain and turn on the water for approx 5 mins? Is that what I would need to do in this case? Thank you so much for all your help and advice.

I just tried the DrainKing VIP2 with no success. Tried it on the sink drain with supplied sink adapter, tried it in the drain pipe under the sink without the sink adapter, and I tried it in my shower drain all with no luck. I was very surprised because most every review of this product claims to have great results. Maybe I got a faulty product that doesn't work normally like the rest of the drain kings... I had 2 main issues while using the DrainKing... #1 - The sink adapter has a hole in the bottom that the water is supposed to flow through...the hole on the adapter and the hole on the DrainKing didn't line up so the water didn't come out in the strong stream it was supposed to...but like I mentioned earlier, I tried the DrainKing without the adapter and it still didn't work. #2 - I experience no "pulsating" of any kind, and when I turned the water on full pressure as the manufacturer recommends, the DrainKing started making a weird constant "honk" is the best way I can describe it... I called the DrainKing 800# and talked to a lady there and asked her about the pulsing...she said you can hear it when it starts pulsing...I never heard it, she took my phone number and told me a technician would call me ASAP....haven't heard from him yet....

I confirmed that the drain is indeed backing up by doing a test run with the washer. I'm curious to know how well the Drain King will work against dog hair and such.

Not sure if the hair clog remover did much good though. It is better overall, but I should've gone with Drain King most likely.

Hey “just wanted to let you know I’m gonna try your remedy,I bought two fake imposters products , so Ace Hardware didn’t caring the original Drain King in store 🔥🙈🔥 Again thanks so much for sharing you home remedy.Amen

For best results, bend the snake head about 20 degrees in the direction of the tip. After many tries this idea broke up the blockage. A straight head will only go into the center of the block - if the blockage very tough.
My washer drain is doing the same thing, I rented a snake and didn’t work so I’m going tomorrow to get the drain king, thanks
Did you have problems with water coming up other drains on the house while this was doing it's job? I've had to cover sink drains & such to prevent this when using the Drain King.

mixxbreedproductionz no i haven’t personally but my buddy had the problem. He plug the drains and kept going. He told me when he got the clog to finally go into his drain out line to the sewer it stopped from backing up to other drains
Thanks for your recommendation!!!
Thank you so much! I have a slightly different chronic clogged drain problem. I live in an apartment bldg and my tub drain clogs all the time. I've tried all the things you talked about snaking, heavy duty drain openers. Works for awhile but always backs up again. I've spent a lot of money on drain screens, nothing is going down there but still clogs. I think the pipe is connected to other apartments and that may be the problem. I'm interested in trying the Drain King. Looks like I'd also need to buy a hose to attach to my bathtub faucet to attach the Drain King to. Looks like I would need to keep a good grip on the Drain King push it down into the drain and turn on the water for approx 5 mins? Is that what I would need to do in this case? Thank you so much for all your help and advice.
I tried it but I still get water overflow after 2 washes. Is there an adapter I can connect between the washing machine drain hose and this drain king to prevent back flow?
I'm having that problem with my washing machine also, this video is 6 years old, do they still sell this device?

I just tried the DrainKing VIP2 with no success. Tried it on the sink drain with supplied sink adapter, tried it in the drain pipe under the sink without the sink adapter, and I tried it in my shower drain all with no luck. I was very surprised because most every review of this product claims to have great results. Maybe I got a faulty product that doesn't work normally like the rest of the drain kings... I had 2 main issues while using the DrainKing... #1 - The sink adapter has a hole in the bottom that the water is supposed to flow through...the hole on the adapter and the hole on the DrainKing didn't line up so the water didn't come out in the strong stream it was supposed to...but like I mentioned earlier, I tried the DrainKing without the adapter and it still didn't work. #2 - I experience no "pulsating" of any kind, and when I turned the water on full pressure as the manufacturer recommends, the DrainKing started making a weird constant "honk" is the best way I can describe it... I called the DrainKing 800# and talked to a lady there and asked her about the pulsing...she said you can hear it when it starts pulsing...I never heard it, she took my phone number and told me a technician would call me ASAP....haven't heard from him yet....

@freezedried ak hard to say, but it wasn't roots... it was a clorox bleach wipe that got thrown in toilet and flushed on accident while trying to potty-train my daughter. my house/plumbing was built in 1979 so we have cast iron pipes which have caused us a lot of problems, so i have a strict 'toilet paper only' policy due to multiple plumber bills in the first months after we bought this house still though, its crazy to think that one wipe caused this big of an issue. the plumbers said those wipes don't dissolve like toilet paper. so if you have an old house with cast iron pipes be careful what you flush...
Where is the other end hooked to when using indoors
My end of drain hose doesn’t have thread to screw on to drain king
I have an oversplash area where my water comes out from the leak. if I wanted to use this I would have to get two of them
Thank you for this video! I know this is probably a stupid question but you and all the commenters keep saying to hook it to a water hose.....do all of yall have a water hose spigot in the house? I do not, so what to do?

@JT Chavez. ... I have the exact same issue. The same exact configuration in the back of my washing machine as yours. So you say it worked right ? Reason I say that some other reviews of this bladder product says that when someone tried it the bladder burst inside the pipe and made the situation even worse. That's the only reason I'm a little skeptical about using a bladder. It's either that or pay a plumber a lot of money..

The illustration on the package shows the Drain King in the sink but all my sink drains have a metal grate at the bottom of the drain. There is no way the Drain King will go into the drain !
Same concept as people using hydro whatever.
Can you use this if your washer drain pipe is pvc?

@@MarkTheTerror nope but I can't say it doesn't work for situations with a closer clog. My clog was at the 35 foot mark so I ended up getting a 50 foot snake which was 25 foot longer than the one I previously had. You just have to work it into a rotation while pushing, I added a bar with duck tape to get a better grip and this is the only thing that worked, here's a link www.amazon.com/dp/B000KKOX9E/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_uguDFb96GS28H
I washed two dog beds together the other day and boom...all of the sudden we have water all over the laundry room floor. I confirmed that the drain is indeed backing up by doing a test run with the washer. I'm curious to know how well the Drain King will work against dog hair and such. I don't like the thought of paying a costly plumber bill for something that I could possibly do myself at a relatively low cost.

Justin Chavez I bought a "knock off" version of the Drain King and it did help to loosen things up and get a better drain. I put some hair clog remover down the drain overnight beforehand. Not sure if the hair clog remover did much good though. It is better overall, but I should've gone with Drain King most likely. We don't have an Ace Hardware store here in town so I didn't want to make a special trip. Thanks for the video tips and reply.

@@jtchavez9311 I have always thought that was most likely a problem with the air stack and a clog of some sort in it. But this one seems to be wide open so it's gotta be where my sink drain joins with the washer drain. I have an electric auger but these bladders sound like a better route. I have tried roebic foaming root destroyer in case it was tree roots but its still gurgling and drain cleaners have not helped either. I don't want that overflow to happen so I think I am going to get brave and try the bladder in the sink drain, just past the ptrap.

Did not work. Insert into drain..turn on water..inflates blatter...jets out water......Once I turned off the water it all blasted back into the laundry room. So, if it doesn't clear the clog...be ready for a huge back wash into your room. FYI
