At Blocked Drains Lincoln, we've helped numerous residents in Lincoln, Grantham, and surrounding areas resolve their kitchen sink blockages quickly and efficiently.
What Causes a Blocked Kitchen Sink?
A blocked kitchen sink is often caused by the accumulation of grease, food particles, and other debris in the drain. Over time, these substances can solidify and clog the pipes, preventing water from flowing freely. Other common causes of blocked kitchen sinks include:
- Hair and soap scum buildup
- Mineral deposits and limescale
- Tree roots invading the sewer system
- Poorly installed or maintained drainage systems
How to Get Rid of a Blocked Kitchen Sink
If you're experiencing a blocked kitchen sink, don't panic. Here are some steps you can take to resolve the issue:
- Turn off the water supply: Locate the shut-off valves under the sink and turn them clockwise to prevent further water flow.
- Use a plunger: Create a seal around the drain with a plunger and push down slowly to create suction. Repeat this process several times to dislodge the blockage.
- 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 before rinsing with hot water.
- Use a drain snake: If the above methods don't work, you may need to use a drain snake (also known as an auger) to remove the blockage.
