Step 1: Identify the Cause

The first step in fixing a blocked sink is to identify what is causing the blockage. Our trained professionals will carry out a thorough examination of your plumbing system to determine the source of the blockage.

Step 2: Remove the Blockage

Once we have identified the cause of the blockage, we will use the appropriate tools and techniques to remove the obstruction. In minor blockages, we will likely use a plunger to physically nudge the obstruction and allow the water to flow freely. For more severe blockages, we may use specialized tools such as drain snakes or a hydro jetting system.

Step 3: Test and Inspect

After removing the blockage, our experts will test the sink to ensure its draining correctly. Well also inspect the drainpipe to ensure that there arent any other underlying issues that may cause a re-occurrence of the blockage.
