How to Remove a Blocked Sink in Lincolnshire: A Step-by-Step Guide

Blocked sinks can be a frustrating and messy problem, especially when you're in the middle of cooking or cleaning. If you're experiencing a blocked sink in Lincolnshire, don't worry – we've got you covered. At Blocked Drains Lincoln, we provide expert drainage services to help you remove blockages and get your sink flowing freely again.

Understanding the Causes of a Blocked Sink

Before we dive into the steps to remove a blocked sink, it's essential to understand what causes blockages in the first place. Common culprits include:

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

Step 1: Turn Off the Water Supply

The first step in removing 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. This will prevent any further water from flowing into the sink and making the blockage worse.

Step 2: Use a Plunger

Next, use a plunger to try and dislodge the blockage. Make sure the plunger is properly seated over the drain, then push down and pull up quickly to create suction. Repeat this process several times to see if you can loosen the blockage.

Step 3: Use Baking Soda and Vinegar

If the plunger doesn't work, try using baking soda and vinegar to create a natural cleaning solution. 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.

Step 4: Use a Drain Snake or Auger

If the blockage is further down the drain, you may need to use a drain snake or auger to remove it. These tools can be purchased at most hardware stores or home improvement centers.

Step 5: 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 uses the latest technology and equipment, including high-pressure water jetting, to remove even the toughest blockages.
