Blocked Drains York

Are you dealing with a blocked sink in York? A clogged sink can be frustrating and disrupt your daily routine. Before calling a professional drainage service, you can try a few DIY methods to clear the blockage. At Blocked Drains York, we've put together some effective solutions to help you unblock your sink and get your drainage system working smoothly.

Before attempting to clear the blockage, it's essential to understand what might be causing the issue. Hair, grease, and food particles are common culprits that can clog your sink's drain. If you have a sink with a garbage disposal, it's crucial to run cold water through the drain while the disposal is running to help move debris through the pipes.

One of the most effective and eco-friendly methods to clear a blocked sink is by using baking soda and soda crystals. Pour 1 cup of baking soda down the drain, followed by 1 cup of soda crystals. Let the mixture sit for a few hours or overnight, then pour hot water down the drain to rinse. The mixture will help break down any blockages and leave your sink smelling fresh.

A plunger is a simple and effective tool to clear a blocked sink. Make sure the plunger is properly seated over the drain, then push down and pull up quickly to create suction. Repeat this process several times until the water drains freely.

If the blockage is further down the drain, you may need to use a drain snake (also known as an auger) to clear the clog. Feed the snake into the drain and rotate it as you push it further into the pipe. This will help break up any blockages and retrieve any debris that's causing the clog.
