Are you experiencing a blocked sink in your Lincolnshire home or business? Don't worry, we're here to help. At WPS Plumbing & Drainage, trading as Blocked Drains Lincoln, we've been providing expert drainage services to the people of Lincolnshire for years. In this article, we'll walk you through the steps to clear a blocked sink and explain when it's best to call in the professionals.
Understanding the Causes of a Blocked Sink
Before we dive into the solution, it's essential to understand what causes a blocked sink. In most cases, blockages occur due to the accumulation of grease, food particles, and other debris in the drain. Over time, these substances can build up and restrict the flow of water, leading to a blocked sink.
DIY Methods to Clear a Blocked Sink
If you're experiencing a blocked sink, there are a few DIY methods you can try before calling in a professional drainage service. Here are a few:
- Plunger: A plunger is a simple and effective tool for clearing blockages in sinks. Make sure the plunger is properly seated over the drain, then push down and pull up quickly to create suction.
- Baking Soda and Vinegar: Mix equal parts baking soda and vinegar to create a natural cleaning solution. Pour the mixture down the drain and let it sit for a few hours before rinsing with hot water.
- Hot Water: Sometimes, a simple hot water rinse can be enough to clear a blocked sink. Pour a kettle of hot water down the drain to help dissolve any grease or debris.
When to Call a Professional Drainage Service
If none of the above methods work, it's time to call in a professional drainage service. At WPS Plumbing & Drainage, we have the expertise and equipment to clear even the most stubborn blockages. Our team uses advanced technology, including CCTV drain surveys and high-pressure water jetting, to diagnose and clear blockages quickly and efficiently.
The Importance of Regular Drain Maintenance
To avoid blocked sinks and other drainage issues, it's essential to perform regular maintenance on your drains. Here are a few tips:
- Run hot water: Regularly running hot water through your drains can help dissolve any grease or debris that may be building up.
- Use a drain screen: A drain screen can catch hair and other debris before they go down the drain, reducing the risk of blockages.
- Avoid pouring grease: Never pour grease or oil down the drain, as it can solidify and cause blockages.
