How to Unblock a Sink Blocked with Sick in Lincolnshire
Are you dealing with a clogged sink in your Lincolnshire home? A sink blocked with sick can be a frustrating and unpleasant experience, especially when it's causing water to back up into your sink. Don't worry, we've got you covered. At Blocked Drains Lincoln, we've compiled a step-by-step guide on how to unblock your sink and get your drainage system flowing smoothly again.
Step 1: Remove any visible blockages
Before attempting to unblock your sink, remove any visible debris or sick from the plughole. This will give you a clear path to work with and prevent any further clogs.
Step 2: Use the U-bend
The U-bend, also known as the P-trap, is the curved pipe under your sink that catches any debris before it enters the drain. If the blockage is located in the U-bend, you may be able to remove it by unscrewing the pipe and clearing out any blockages.
Step 3: Use a drain powder or liquid
If the blockage is further down the drain, you can try using a drain powder or liquid to break down the sick and clear the blockage. Follow the instructions on the packaging and be careful not to use too much, as this can damage your pipes.
Step 4: Try washing soda and vinegar
For a more eco-friendly approach, try using washing soda and vinegar to clear the blockage. Pour 1 cup of washing 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 5: Use a plunger or plumbing snake
If the above methods don't work, it's time to bring in the big guns. Use a plunger or plumbing snake to try and dislodge the blockage. Be careful not to push too hard, as this can damage your pipes.
