Blocked Drains Edinburgh

Are you tired of dealing with a smelly sink drain in your East Lothian home? A foul odor emanating from your sink drain can be not only unpleasant but also a sign of a more serious issue. At Blocked Drains Edinburgh, we're here to help you identify the cause of the smell and provide you with effective solutions to clean your sink drain.

The smell from your sink drain is often caused by the buildup of grease, food particles, and other debris in the pipes. When these substances accumulate, they can create a perfect environment for bacteria to thrive, resulting in a foul odor. Additionally, if your dishwasher is connected to the same drainage system, it can also contribute to the smell.

To get rid of the sink drain smell, follow these simple steps:

1. Pour Baking Soda Down the Drain: Pour 1 cup of baking soda down the drain, followed by 1 cup of hot water. Let it sit for a few hours or overnight to allow the baking soda to work its magic.
2. Use Vinegar: Pour 1 cup of white vinegar down the drain, followed by 1 cup of hot water. The acid in the vinegar will help break down any tough grease and debris.
3. Use a Drain Cleaner: If the above methods don't work, you can use a drain cleaner to help dissolve any blockages. However, be sure to follow the instructions carefully and take necessary safety precautions.
4. Check Your Drain Trap: The drain trap, also known as the P-trap, is the curved pipe under your sink. Check to see if it's clogged with debris or if the water level is too low. If the water level is too low, it can cause the smell to rise up into your sink.

To prevent future sink drain smells, make sure to:

• Run hot water through your drain regularly to help clear any debris
• Use a drain screen or filter to catch hair and other particles before they go down the drain
• Avoid pouring grease and food particles down the drain
• Check your dishwasher's drainage system regularly to ensure it's working properly
