No household is immune from suffering a blocked sink. With the amount of use it gets through the year it is inevitable that it requires a degree of maintenance to uphold its integrity.
1. Use A Plunger
Everyone has heard of a plunger. But not everyone may know how to effectively use it to unclog a sink.
There are a number of simple steps that you need to take before using the plunger to get the most effective use out of it.
Clear the Drain – Firstly you must ensure that all lying water in the sink has been removed, along with the possible food or hair debris. Adorn the rubber gloves and a cup and bail out the standing water so that the basin is then relatively water free. Make sure that you also plug up the overflow with an old cloth or towel.
Clear the Plug – Ensure that the plughole has also been cleaned and cleared. Remove the debris that you can get a hold of and then do a test to see if this has helped the water to drain away. Just run your tap quickly to see if the water now drains away.
Grab the Plunger – Once you have followed the above steps, it is time to grab the plunger.
