Plughole

The plughole is a small opening in the sink that allows water to drain. It's a vital part of the sink, and when blocked, can cause significant problems. The most common cause of plughole blockage is the accumulation of grease, hair, and food particles. It's essential to ensure that the plughole is regularly cleaned to prevent blockages.

Removing a Blockage

Removing a blockage from your sink can seem like a straightforward task, but it's important to do it correctly. The first step is to remove any standing water from the sink. You can then use a plunger to dislodge the blockage. If this doesn't work, you can use a drain snake to remove the blockage manually.

Using a Plunger

If you're dealing with a blocked sink, one of the first steps you can take is to use a plunger. A plunger is a simple, yet effective tool for removing blockages in the plughole. It works by creating pressure that dislodges the blockage, allowing water to flow freely.

To use a plunger, you should first remove any standing water from the sink. You can then cover the plughole with the plunger, ensuring that there's a tight seal. You can then push and pull the plunger several times, creating pressure that dislodges the blockage. If this method doesn't work, you may need to use a drain snake to remove the blockage manually.
