Step 5: Use a Cup Plunger or Toilet Plunger

If the blockage is severe, a cup plunger or a toilet plunger can be effective. Place the plunger over the plughole and push down and up several times to produce a vacuum effect to loosen the blockage.

Step 6: Use a Drain Snake

If the blockage is more serious, a drain snake can come in handy. Insert the drain snake into the drain, rotate it clockwise and counterclockwise while pushing it in until it hits the obstruction. Turn the drain snake counterclockwise to dislodge the blockage, then flush the sink with hot water to remove any remaining debris.

Step 7: Inspect the Pipes

If the blockage persists, it's time to call a professional drain company like Drainage Cumbria for an inspection of the pipes. We have the expertise to identify and resolve any complicated drainage problems.

What Not to Do With a Blocked Sink

Here are some things to avoid when you have a blocked sink:

• Don't use harsh chemicals or acids on the sink.
• Don't use wire hangers to dislodge blockages; they may damage the pipes.
• Don't pour hot water onto a sink containing chemicals that could splash back onto your face and hands.
