CLEAR BLOCKED DRAINS

Unblock Sink Drains

If you are dealing with a clogged up sink drain, a kitchen sink that just doesn’t want to cooperate or a sink in the bathroom that isn’t draining as quickly as it could or should be, try some of the tips we have below.

Some people get a little bit nervous about trying to resolve plumbing issues, and for good reason.

Anytime you are dealing with the water running through your home or your plumbing system in general you’re looking at a bit of a tricky situation.

HERE’S HOW TO UNBLOCK A SINK

The best way to unblock a sink is not with those hazardous chemicals you can pick up at the store, but instead with nothing more than a pot of boiling water, a good old-fashioned coat hanger that has been straightened out, and a little bit of time and patience – and perhaps a plunger (specifically purchased and only ever used on your sinks, at that!)

Right out of the gate, you’ll want to boil up in a pot of water and then begin slowly pouring that boiling water down the drain to soften and loosen any obstructions. If you’re dealing with a relatively minor issue, this will almost always unblock sink drain problems all on its own – but if the obstruction is a little bit more stubborn you’ll have to break out the straightened coat hanger.
