How to Remove a Blocked Sink Step-by-Step

While it's always advisable to leave plumbing issues to the experts, there are some simple steps you can take to remove a partially blocked sink. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to remove a blocked sink:

Step 1: Use a Plunger

Start by using a plunger to see if you can dislodge the blockage. Place the plunger over the plug hole and pump up and down vigorously to create suction. If this works, the water should start to drain freely. If not, move to the next step.

Step 2: Use a Drain Cleaning Product

If the plunger doesn't work, you can try using a drain cleaning product. Pour the product into the sink, and let it sit for a few minutes to dissolve the blockage. Follow the manufacturer's instructions, and be cautious not to damage your sink or pipes.

Step 3: Check the Trap

If neither the plunger nor the drain cleaning product works, the blockage may be in the U-shaped trap under the sink. Place a bucket under the trap to catch any water, then unscrew the trap and remove it. Check for any debris or foreign objects inside, and use a wire coat hanger or a brush to remove the blockage.
