Certain objects may accidentally fall into your sink's drain and cause a blockage. This could be anything from a toothbrush to a piece of jewellery.

The Importance of Water Flow in Your Sink

To understand why blocked sinks can be such a big problem, it's essential to understand the critical role that water flow plays in your sink. Every hour of every day, countless litres of water pass through your sink's drain. When that water begins to back up, it can cause some significant issues throughout your home.

If left untreated, a blocked sink could lead to the following problems:

• Bad smells and odours
• Blocked pipes leading to overflowing sinks or even flooding in your home
• Added stress to your plumbing system, leading to further problems down the line

That's why it's essential to catch any sink blockages early on and call in the professionals to deal with the issue. The longer you leave things untreated, the more problematic they could become over time.

How to Safely Remove a Sink Blockage

While some people might be tempted to try and fix their sink blockage themselves, we strongly recommend against this. Unclogging sink is often complicated, and it's important to handle the job with adequate care to prevent further damage to your plumbing system.
