Blocked Drains Edinburgh

Are you experiencing a blocked sink drain in your East Lothian home or business? Don't worry, we've got you covered. At Blocked Drains Edinburgh, we understand the frustration that comes with a clogged sink, especially when you don't have a plunger handy. In this article, we'll show you how to unblock a sink drain without a plunger using simple household items.

Before we dive into the solution, it's essential to understand what might be causing the blockage. Hair, food particles, and grease are common culprits that can clog your sink drain. If you're experiencing a blockage, it's likely due to one of these factors.

1. Pour 1 cup of hot water down the drain to help loosen the blockage.
2. Follow with 1 cup of white vinegar. The acid in the vinegar will help break down any grease or debris.
3. Let the mixture sit in the pipe for a few hours or overnight. This will allow the vinegar to work its magic.
4. After the sitting time has passed, pour another cup of hot water down the drain to rinse it.

1. Pour 1 cup of baking soda down the drain. The abrasive nature of the soda will help break down any blockages.
2. Follow with 1 cup of hot water. The water will help the soda penetrate deeper into the pipe.
3. Let the mixture sit in the pipe for a few hours or overnight. This will allow the soda to work its magic.
4. After the sitting time has passed, pour another cup of hot water down the drain to rinse it.

If the above methods don't work, you might need to use a pipe snake to remove the blockage. A pipe snake is a long, flexible rod that can be inserted into the pipe to break up any blockages.

To prevent future blockages, make sure to:

• Run hot water through your sink drain regularly to help clear any debris.
• Avoid pouring grease, food particles, and hair down the drain.
• Use a drain screen or filter to catch any debris before it goes down the drain.
