Steps to Remove a Blocked Sink

Here is a step-by-step guide to removing a blocked sink:

1. Use a plunger:A plunger can be useful in removing a minor blockage. Apply suction and pressure to clear the blockage. However, if this does not work, contact Drainage Cumbria for a professional solution.

2. Remove the debris:Remove any debris around the plughole that may be contributing to the blockage. Do this carefully to avoid damaging your sink.

3. Pour boiling water into the sink:Pouring boiling water into the sink can help remove any stuck dirt, grease, and soap scum that may be causing the blockage.

4. Apply a commercial drain cleaner:You can use a commercial drain cleaner to dissolve any buildup in the pipes. However, be careful when handling these products as they may contain harsh chemicals that can damage your pipes, sink or even your skin.

If none of these steps work, then call the professionals at Drainage Cumbria. We are experienced in handling all types of blocked sinks, and our team of experts will use appropriate tools and techniques to remove the blockage quickly and efficiently.
