Blocked Drains York

Are you experiencing a blocked sink drain in your York property? Don't worry, we're here to help. At Blocked Drains York, we understand the frustration and inconvenience that comes with a clogged sink. In this article, we'll provide you with a step-by-step guide on how to clear a blocked sink drain, and when to call in the professionals.

A blocked sink drain can be caused by a variety of factors, including grease, hair, soap scum, and food particles. These substances can accumulate in the pipes and cause a blockage, preventing water from flowing freely. If left unattended, a blocked sink drain can lead to more serious problems, such as water damage and flooding.

Before attempting to clear the blockage, turn off the water supply to the sink by locating the shut-off valves under the sink and turning them clockwise. This will prevent any further water from flowing into the sink and making the problem worse.

A plunger is a simple and effective tool for clearing blockages in sink drains. Place the plunger over the clogged drain and push down slowly and steadily until you feel resistance. Hold the plunger in place for a few seconds, then lift up. Repeat this process several times until the blockage is cleared.

If the plunger doesn't work, you may need to use a drain snake (also known as an auger) to remove the blockage. Feed the snake into the drain and rotate it as you push it further into the pipe. This can help to break up any stubborn blockages.

For more severe blockages, you can try using a combination of 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.

If none of the above steps work, or if you're not comfortable attempting to clear the blockage yourself, it's time to call in the professionals.
