Blocked Drains Edinburgh

Are you experiencing a blocked sink drain at your home in East Lothian? Don't worry, unblocking a sink drain is a relatively simple process that can be done with a few basic tools and some patience. In this article, we'll guide you through the steps to unblock your sink drain and get your water flowing freely again.

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

A plunger is a simple and effective tool for unblocking sink drains. To use a plunger, place the rubber edge over the sink drain and push down slowly and steadily. This will create suction that can help dislodge the blockage. Repeat this process several times until the water starts to drain freely.

If the plunger doesn't work, you may need to use a drain snake (also known as an auger) to remove the blockage. 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. This will help break up any hair or debris that may be causing the blockage.

If the blockage is caused by grease or food particles, you can try pouring baking soda and vinegar down the drain. 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 it.

If none of the above steps work, it may be time to call a professional drainage service like Blocked Drains Edinburgh. Our team of experienced engineers has the tools and expertise to quickly and effectively unblock your sink drain and get your water flowing freely again.

To prevent future blockages, make sure to:

• Run hot water through your sink drain regularly to clear any debris
• Use a drain screen or filter to catch hair and other particles
• Avoid pouring grease or food particles down the drain
• Use a natural drain cleaner, such as baking soda and vinegar, to keep your drains clean and clear
