To clear a clogged double-basin sink using a drain auger, start by removing the strainer baskets and disconnecting the P-trap beneath the sink to gain direct access to the branch pipe. Feed your hand-cranked drum auger cable straight into the wall drainage pipe opening, rotating the handle clockwise as you push forward to navigate through the sanitary tee and break up grease blockages. Callout type="warning" title="Hygiene Warning": Place a bucket under the P-trap before loosening slip-joint nuts to catch stagnant wastewater. Verification: Reassemble the plumbing fittings and run warm water through both basins to verify smooth drainage.
