Blocked Drains Edinburgh

Are you struggling with a blocked bathroom sink in East Lothian? Don't worry, we've got you covered. At Blocked Drains Edinburgh, we understand the frustration and inconvenience that comes with a clogged sink. In this article, we'll provide you with a step-by-step guide on how to open a blocked bathroom sink, and when to call in the professionals.

Before you start, it's essential to identify the source of the blockage. Check if the water is draining slowly or not at all. If the water is not draining, it's likely that the blockage is further down the drain. If the water is draining slowly, the blockage might be closer to the sink.

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

• A pair of gloves
• A plunger
• A drain snake (also known as an auger)
• Baking soda and vinegar
• Hot water

1. Turn off the water supply: Locate the shut-off valves under the sink and turn them clockwise to shut off the water supply.
2. Remove any visible blockages: Check the sink drain for any visible blockages, such as hair or soap scum. Remove any blockages you find.
3. Use a plunger: Place the plunger over the sink drain and push down slowly and steadily. Hold the plunger in place for a few seconds, then lift up. Repeat this process several times.
4. Use a drain snake: If the plunger doesn't work, use a drain snake to remove any blockages further down the drain. Feed the snake into the drain and rotate it as you push it further into the pipe.
5. Use baking soda and vinegar: 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.
