The sink you are using is a curved piece of pipe. Its primary function isn't just to collect undesirable hair and grease beneath your sink. Although it is often used to do so, this curve permits some quantity of water to accumulate and create a barrier to ensure that sewer gas isn't allowed to enter your home and smudge your kitchen sink. However, it can also block undesirable substances from entering your pipes.
It's a good idea to keep in mind that if all your sinks run slowly and you aren't sure if that a blocked drain trap is the issue, the problem could be in the primary sewer lines. Contact us to determine the cause.
If you've got an unresponsive or blocked sink that is only in one area in your home, the most important thing you should look at is the drain trap. So, let's get started!
Get rid of everything beneath the sink to leave you with a clean working space. It is likely that you will need a bucket to put under the drain trap with an elbow shape that you're about to release. After you have put on the appropriate clothing and are ready for dirty water, look around at what the most comfortable place will be to allow you to loosen the slip joint nuts, either by hand or using the help of pliers or a wrench.
If you've been able to open the trap in your sink, we hope that you have discovered the clog. Make sure you empty the entire thing into the bucket. Once you've got it open, use the bottle brush to remove any other debris you locate access to.
If you didn't find an obstruction, you're in for a surprise. It means you're likely to have to snake out the drain and, our most preferred option, call the professionals. We love unclogging drains!
