Before we dive into the fix, it's essential to understand what causes a blocked sink pipe. Common culprits include:

• Grease and food particles
• Hair and soap scum
• Mineral buildup
• Improperly installed pipes

The first step in fixing a blocked sink pipe 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 on the clogged pipe. 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 to loosen the blockage.

If the plunger doesn'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 pipe to break up any blockages. Feed the snake into the pipe and rotate it as you push it further into the pipe.

If the blockage is caused by grease or mineral buildup, try using baking soda and vinegar to dissolve the blockage. Pour 1 cup of baking soda down the drain, followed by 1 cup of vinegar. Let the mixture sit for a few hours, then pour hot water down the drain to rinse.

If none of the above steps work, it's time to call a professional plumber. At Blocked Drains Edinburgh, our team of expert plumbers has the tools and expertise to fix even the toughest blocked sink pipes.
