A sink is an essential feature in any home, providing access to running water for activities such as washing dishes, cleaning hands, and brushing teeth. It's easy to take our sinks for granted, but when they become clogged or backed up with dirty water, it can be a frustrating and nasty situation.

Blockages are common, particularly in areas with hard water or a buildup of soap scum and hair. When water is poured into a sink or runs down the drain, it should flow smoothly through the pipes until it reaches the sewer system. However, if it encounters a blockage, it can't pass through and will back up into the sink, creating an unpleasant and unsanitary mess.
