How to unclog a blocked sink

It is usually quite common to suffer some breakdowns in the kitchen sinks because the pipes of the kitchen tend to be very delicate. Besides, this is an area of ​​the home or property that is usually a bit conflictive because of the use constant that is usually given daily.

In addition, it is prevalent to end up throwing some waste into the sink, and consequently, jams occur.

3 Methods to unclog a blocked sink

The clogged sinks are among the most annoying and common inconveniences that usually take place inside the home, which we all have to face at some point. Luckily, several methods can be used to unclog a sink easily. Below are a few examples of how to unclog a blocked sink.

Method 1: Use a plunger

To start, you have to fill the sink with hot water partially. Then you have to place the plunger directly above the drain to begin working with it by moving it quickly up and down.

Then you have to pull the plunger and move it away from the drain opening to see if it starts to drain the water. It is necessary to repeat the procedure until the obstruction is detached.

Method 2: Baking soda with vinegar

Before starting, it is necessary to put on rubber gloves; besides, it is necessary to have a container to be able to remove the water coming from the sink and also with a bucket into which to pour it.

To begin, you have to pour a cup of baking soda into the drain and use a spatula in order to force the baking soda into the opening, if required. Then a cup of vinegar is poured into the same place, and the sink plug is placed in the opening to get the vinegar to be forced into the obstruction.

They must be allowed to pass 5 min for the mixture to take effect; then it will be necessary to let the hot water run in the sink to see if the obstruction has disappeared.

In case the hot water in the sink does not work, it will be necessary to pour about four cups of boiling water into the drain. If you have not yet managed to unclog yourself, you will need to perform the entire procedure again.

Method 3: Use a Cable

You have to open the closet under the sink and place a bucket under the pipes to collect all the water that could drain.

It is necessary to start by separating the trapdoor, that is, the curved tube located under the vertical and horizontal pipes; then you have to try to unscrew PVC pipes manually, although if you can't do it, you will need to use a socket wrench that allows you to remove the connections.

Then you have to empty the trapdoor water inside the bucket, check that it is free and clean if necessary.

If it is discovered that the obstruction is in the trap, it will be necessary to place it again and open the hot water while viewing the drains of the sink. In case the sink is clogged, the following steps should be followed:

Remove the horizontal tube, which is responsible for joining the trap and the short tube located on the wall; push the end of the auger into the short tube.

Pull about 46 cm of the cable into the short tube and tighten the locking screw. Turn the handle clockwise while pushing forward so that the auger reaches a greater depth inside the pipe.

If the auger runs into another resistance, the cable must continue to be pulled at the same time that the crank is turned, until the obstruction is released. Remove the cable and replace both the horizontal tube and the trap.

Open the hot water, and if it runs slowly, it will be time to use a plunger to remove any possible remains that remain from the obstruction.

In conclusion,

The most advisable thing is usually to obtain some unblocking liquid, although the truth is that it is not always possible to guarantee the effectiveness of this kind of product.

This is because their success will be linked to the degree of the problem, but the truth is that they usually represent the first step that has to be carried out.
