A blocked kitchen sink can be a frustrating and messy issue, especially when you're in the middle of cooking or cleaning. At Blocked Drains York, our team of specialists has years of experience in providing effective drainage solutions to homeowners and businesses across Yorkshire, including York, Leeds, and surrounding areas.

Understanding the Causes of a Blocked Kitchen Sink

Before we dive into the cleaning process, it's essential to understand what causes a kitchen sink to become blocked. Common culprits include:

  • Grease and fat buildup
  • Food particles and debris
  • Hair and soap scum
  • Mineral deposits and limescale

Step-by-Step Guide to Cleaning a Blocked Kitchen Sink

If you're experiencing a blocked kitchen sink, follow these steps to try and clear the blockage:

  1. Turn off the water supply: Locate the shut-off valves under the sink and turn them clockwise to shut off the water supply.
  2. Remove any visible debris: Use a pair of gloves or a scoop to remove any visible food particles or debris from the sink drain.
  3. Use a plunger: Create a seal around the drain with a plunger and push down slowly and steadily. Repeat this process several times to try and dislodge the blockage.
  4. Use baking soda and vinegar: Pour 1 cup of baking soda down the drain, followed by 1 cup of vinegar. Let the mixture sit for a few hours or overnight, then pour hot water down the drain to rinse.
  5. Use a drain snake: If the above methods don't work, use a drain snake (also known as an auger) to try and dislodge the blockage.
