Blocked Drains Edinburgh

Are you dealing with a blocked sink in your East Lothian home, but don't have a plunger to hand? Don't worry, we've got you covered. At Blocked Drains Edinburgh, we understand the frustration of a clogged sink, especially in the kitchen or bathroom where water is essential. In this article, we'll show you how to fix a blocked sink without a plunger using simple, effective methods.

This natural method is a great alternative to using a plunger. To start, pour 1 cup of baking soda down the blocked drain, followed by 1 cup of vinegar. The mixture will fizz and foam, helping to break down the blockage. Let it sit for a few hours or overnight, then pour hot water down the drain to rinse. This method is especially effective for removing hair and grease blockages.

Sometimes, a blocked sink just needs a good flush to clear the blockage. Boil some water and carefully pour it down the drain. The pressure and heat can help dislodge any blockages, including hair and soap scum. Be careful not to splash the water, as it can cause burns.

If the above methods don't work, you may need to use a drain snake (auger) to physically remove the blockage. Feed the snake into the drain and rotate it as you push it further into the pipe. This can help break up any stubborn blockages and retrieve any hair or debris that's causing the clog.

To avoid blocked sinks in the future, make sure to:

• Run hot water through the drain regularly to clear any debris
• Use a drain screen or filter to catch hair and other particles
• Avoid pouring grease, oil, and food scraps down the drain
• Regularly clean your sink and drain with soap and water
