Step 2: Remove the U-Bend

If the plunger doesn't work, you may need to remove the U-bend to access the blockage. Place a bucket under the sink and use pliers to loosen the nuts on both ends of the U-bend. Remove the U-bend carefully and clean it using a wire brush or a long-handled brush. Look inside the pipe to see if the blockage is visible and use a long wire or a coat hanger to remove it. Reinstall the U-bend and test the sink to see if the water drains smoothly.

Step 3: Use a Chemical Unblocker

If the blockage persists, you may need to use a chemical unblocker. Be sure to choose a product that is suitable for your sink type and follow the instructions carefully. Pour the product down the plughole, wait for the recommended time, and flush it with hot water. Be careful not to splash the product on your skin or eyes and use protective gloves.
