Blocked Drains Lincoln

Are you dealing with a blocked sink in your Lincolnshire home? Don't worry, it's a common issue that can be resolved with the right techniques and tools. At WPS Plumbing & Drainage, we're here to provide you with a step-by-step guide on how to fix a blocked sink in Lincolnshire.

Before we dive into the solution, it's essential to understand what causes a sink to become blocked. The most common culprits include:

• Grease and fat buildup
• Hair and soap scum accumulation
• Food particles and debris
• Mineral deposits and limescale

The first step in fixing a blocked sink is to turn off the water supply to the sink. Locate the shut-off valves under the sink and turn them clockwise to shut off the water supply.

Check the sink drain for any visible blockages, such as hair or food particles. Use a pair of needle-nose pliers or a drain snake to remove any obstructions.

A plunger is a simple and effective tool for clearing blockages in sinks. Apply some petroleum jelly to the rim of the plunger and place it over the drain. Plunge the sink several times to create suction and loosen any blockages.

For tougher blockages, try using a mixture of 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 or overnight, then pour hot water down the drain to rinse.

If the above methods don't work, it's time to bring in the big guns. Use a drain snake or auger to remove any stubborn blockages. Feed the snake into the drain and rotate it as you push it further into the pipe.

If none of the above methods work, it's time to call a professional plumber. At WPS Plumbing & Drainage, we offer a range of drainage services, including drain unblocking, drain surveys, and drain repairs.

To prevent future blockages, make sure to:

• Run hot water through the drain regularly
• Use a drain screen or filter to catch hair and debris
• Avoid pouring grease and fat down the drain
• Use a natural drain cleaner, such as baking soda and vinegar, to maintain your drains
