Use a Plunger

One of the most common methods to unblock a sink is to use a plunger. A plunger creates suction, which can dislodge the blockage and allow water to flow freely. To use a plunger, place it over the sink's plughole, making sure it covers the hole completely. Apply firm pressure, and pump the plunger up and down rapidly. This action creates suction, which may dislodge the blockage. Repeat this process a few times until the water starts to drain.

Remove the Blockage

If you can see the blockage, you may be able to remove it manually. To remove the blockage, you can use a pair of pliers or tweezers to pull out the debris. Be careful not to push the blockage further down the drain or damage the drain pipe, as this can cause further damage.

Use a Drain Cleaner

You can also try using a drain cleaner to dissolve the blockage. However, be aware that these chemicals can be dangerous, and may cause damage to your pipes if used incorrectly. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions and wear protective clothing, including gloves and eye protection, when using drain cleaners.
