If you're facing a clogged sink drain in your kitchen that's being uncooperative or a bathroom sink that's draining slower than usual, you might not need to immediately call professionals like us at Sydney's Drain Men. Instead, consider trying to fix the issue yourself to save time and money.
People often feel uneasy about resolving plumbing problems, and understandably so. Handling water flow through your home or plumbing system can be tricky, and a mistake could lead to severe damage, creating an emergency that requires professional intervention from local plumbers like our team at Sydney’s Drain Men. Nobody wants an emergency caused by a DIY attempt at a solution.
With the guidance provided below, you can address the issue without worrying about causing further problems.
Firstly, identify what caused the blockage in your sink. Often, foreign objects accidentally find their way into the plumbing system or regular wear and tear can cause obstructions, especially from everyday items being disposed of down the sink.
To tackle this, use safer methods than store-bought hazardous chemicals. You can start by pouring a pot of boiling water down the drain to loosen the blockage. For minor issues, this can often solve the problem. However, for more stubborn blockages, a straightened coat hanger might be necessary.
Using the coat hanger to probe the sink and plumbing can effectively break up and remove obstructions. If this doesn’t work, consider using a mini-plunger designed specifically for sinks, available at most hardware or department stores. This plunging action can help dislodge and clear obstructions, offering an effective solution for unclogging sinks.
If all else fails, don’t hesitate to reach out to us at Sydney’s Drain Men. We’ll take care of the difficult task for you, restore your sink’s functionality, and ensure it doesn’t strain your budget.
Whether you're looking for a simple repair or a complete plumbing system upgrade, we're here to help.
