Gurgling Noises

When you hear gurgling noises coming from your sink, it could indicate that there's a blockage in the pipes. The noise is caused by air being trapped in the pipes as water tries to drain through it.

How to Remove a Blocked Sink

If you have a blocked sink in Milnthorpe, the first thing you should do is contact Drainage Cumbria. Attempting to remove the blockage yourself can further damage your pipes and cause even more problems. However, if you're feeling brave, here are some steps that you can take to remove a blocked sink:

Step 1: Plunger

The first Step that you can undertake to unblock a sink is to use a plunger. Put the plunger over the plughole and apply firm pressure. Push and pull the plunger up and down for a few minutes, then remove it to see if the water drains away. If this doesn't work, try the next step.

Step 2: Remove the U-bend

If using a plunger doesn't solve the blockage problem, then you must try to remove the U-bend. This is the curved pipe situated beneath the sink. You need to put a bucket beneath it, then carefully unscrew the nuts to loosen it. Once you remove the U-bend, you can wash out the blockage, reattach the U-bend, then check if the sink is unblocked.

If the first two steps don't work, then you need to contact Drainage Cumbria to tackle the blocked sink for you.
