Step 2: Use a Sink Unblocker

If the plunger doesn't work, you can try using a sink unblocker. Pour the unblocker down the plughole and let it sit for a few minutes. The unblocker will work to break down any blockages, allowing water to flow freely down the drain. If this doesn't work, move on to step 3.

Step 3: Remove and Clean the U-Bend

If the sink unblocker doesn't work, it's time to remove and clean the U-bend. The U-bend is the curved pipe that sits underneath the sink. To remove it, place a bowl underneath to catch any water and unscrew the U-bend. Once removed, clean it thoroughly with hot soapy water, removing any blockages. Once cleaned, reattach the U-bend, and your sink should be fully functional again.

While these steps may help remove a sink blockage, there may be times when a professional is needed. If you're dealing with a stubborn blockage, it's best to call in the experts at Drainage Cumbria.
