Before we dive into the solution, it's essential to understand what causes a blocked kitchen drain. The most common culprits include:

• Grease and oil buildup
• Food particles and debris
• Hair and soap scum
• Mineral deposits

The first step in clearing a blocked kitchen drain is to turn off the water supply to the sink. Locate the shut-off valves under the sink and turn them clockwise to shut off the water supply.

Next, use a plunger to create suction and loosen any blockages. Make sure the plunger is properly seated over the drain, then push down and pull up quickly to create suction. Repeat this process several times until the water starts to drain freely.

If the plunger doesn't work, try using baking soda and vinegar to create a chemical reaction that can help break down any blockages. Pour 1 cup of baking soda down the drain, followed by 1 cup of vinegar. Let the mixture sit for a few hours or overnight, then pour hot water down the drain to rinse.

If the above methods don't work, it's time to bring in the big guns – a drain snake. A drain snake is a long, flexible rod that can be inserted into the drain to break up any blockages. Feed the snake into the drain and rotate it as you push it further into the pipe.

If none of the above methods work, it's time to call in a professional. Our team of expert plumbers at Blocked Drains Edinburgh has the training and equipment to clear even the toughest blockages. We offer a 24/7 emergency service, so you can get help whenever you need it.

To prevent future blockages, make sure to:

• Run hot water through the drain on a regular basis to clear any debris
• Use a drain screen to catch hair and other particles
• Avoid pouring grease and oil down the drain
• Use a natural drain cleaner, such as baking soda and vinegar, to keep your drains flowing freely
