Blocked Drains Edinburgh

As a homeowner or business owner in East Lothian, you may have encountered issues with your sink drainage system. At Blocked Drains Edinburgh, we have dealt with various types of blockages, including those caused by urine. In this article, we will discuss whether urine can block a sink and provide guidance on how to prevent and resolve such issues.

Urine is a liquid waste that contains urea, a nitrogen-rich compound. When urine enters your sink drainage system, it can cause problems, especially if it's not properly disposed of. The urea in urine can react with the water and other substances in the pipes, leading to the formation of uric acid crystals. These crystals can accumulate and cause blockages in your sink drain.

In Scotland, particularly in East Lothian, we have seen cases where urine has caused sink blockages. This can happen when:

• Urine is poured down the sink drain, either intentionally or accidentally.
• The sink drain is not properly maintained, allowing grease and other substances to build up and combine with urine.
• The water pressure in the pipes is low, causing urine to flow slowly and accumulate in the pipes.

To prevent urine blockages in your sink, follow these tips:

• Dispose of urine properly, using a toilet or a designated waste disposal system.
• Regularly clean and maintain your sink drain, using a plumber's snake or a drain cleaner.
• Check your water pressure and ensure it's adequate to prevent slow flow.

If you suspect that urine has blocked your sink, don't panic. At Blocked Drains Edinburgh, we have the expertise and equipment to resolve the issue quickly and efficiently. Our team of experienced plumbers and heating engineers can:

• Use high-pressure water jetting to clear the blockage.
