In this article, we'll walk you through the steps to drain a blocked sink and provide you with expert advice on how to prevent future blockages.

Before you start, it's essential to assess the situation and identify the cause of the blockage. Check if the water is draining slowly or not at all. If the water is draining slowly, it may be due to a partial blockage, whereas if the water is not draining at all, it's likely a complete blockage. Common causes of blocked sinks in East Lothian include:

• Grease and fat buildup
• Hair and soap scum accumulation
• Food particles and debris
• Mineral deposits and limescale

To unblock your sink, you'll need the following tools:

• A plunger
• A drain snake (also known as an auger)
• Baking soda and vinegar
• Hot water
  Here's a step-by-step guide to unblocking your sink:

1. Remove any visible debris from the sink drain.
2. Pour 1 cup of baking soda down the drain, followed by 1 cup of vinegar.
3. Let the mixture sit for a few hours or overnight.
4. Use a plunger to create suction and loosen the blockage.
5. If the blockage persists, use a drain snake to remove any remaining debris.
6. Pour hot water down the drain to rinse and test the flow.
