The Drain

The drain is an essential part of your sink, and it's responsible for directing the water flow away from your sink. If your drain is blocked, the water will not flow correctly, causing it to back up and overflow from the sink. The longer the issue is ignored, the more significant the damage can be. At Drainage Cumbria, we use state-of-the-art tools to unblock your drain safely, ensuring that it's functioning correctly.

The Blockage

The blockage is the primary cause of a blocked sink. Various factors can contribute to a blocked sink, including the build-up of debris such as grease, hair, food particles, and soap scum. These debris can accumulate in the drain over time, causing a blockage that needs urgent attention. If left unattended, the situation can become more challenging and more expensive to fix, resulting in a more significant inconvenience.

How to remove a blockage

Removing a blockage can be a daunting task, but with the right tools and knowledge, it can be done efficiently. Here are some steps you can take to remove a blockage in your sink:

1. Use a plunger: A plunger can be an effective tool in removing a blockage. Make sure to use a plunger specifically designed for sinks, and follow the instructions carefully.

2. Use a snake: A snake is a long, flexible cable that can be inserted into the drain to remove the blockage. This requires skill and knowledge, and it's best to leave it to the professionals.

3. Use a chemical drain cleaner: Chemical drain cleaners can be effective in removing small blockages, but they can also damage your pipes and cause corrosion.
