The first step is to check the P-Trap for clogs. This likely is the culprit. Grab a 5 gallon bucket and place it under the P-Trap. It's a good idea to place towels under the bucket.

Slowly turn the P-Trap slip nuts counterclockwise. Be careful, water might rush out from the P-Trap. I recommend using a 5 gallon bucket to catch all the water that's up in the kitchen sink.

In this video you'll see the clog was just in the drain, I didn't even have to do anything to remove the debris.

But what if your clog isn't in the P-Trap or drain? It's likely in the wall pipe and you need to remove it mechanically via a hand auger.

Ridgid's Power Spin is a great hand auger that costs only $40. You can use it by hand or via a power drill. If you unclog your kitchen sink just once it justifies the purchase of the Power Spin.

You can also use this tool for clogs in your bathroom sink, tub, or shower.

Press down on the Power Spin trigger and feed the auger into the wall pipe. Spin the Power Spin until you clear the clog and reverse your procedure to pull it up out of the pipe.
