As a homeowner or business owner in Lincolnshire, it's essential to understand that maintaining your drainage system is your responsibility. Regular checks and maintenance can help prevent blocked drains and pipes, saving you time, money, and stress in the long run.

Before we dive into the steps to fix a blocked sink pipe, it's crucial to identify the cause of the blockage. Common causes of blocked sink pipes in Lincolnshire include:

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

1. Turn off the water supply: Locate the shut-off valves under the sink and turn them clockwise to shut off the water supply to the sink.
2. Remove any visible blockages: Check the sink drain for any visible blockages, such as hair or food particles, and remove them using a pair of needle-nose pliers or a drain snake.
3. Use a plunger: Plunge the sink drain to create suction and loosen any blockages. Make sure to use a plunger specifically designed for sink drains.
4. Use a drain snake: If the plunger doesn't work, use a drain snake to feed into the pipe and break up any blockages.
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.
6. Call a professional: If none of the above steps work, it's time to call a professional drainage service like Blocked Drains Lincoln. Our team of experts will use specialized equipment, such as CCTV cameras and high-pressure water jetting, to diagnose and fix the issue.

To prevent future blockages, make sure to:

• Regularly clean your sink drain with baking soda and vinegar
• Avoid pouring grease and fat down the drain
• Use a drain screen or filter to catch hair and debris
• Run hot water through the drain on a regular basis
