Clogged kitchen sinks are among the most common drainage issues for homeowners and businesses in New Orleans. The main culprits are food debris and soap residue that hinder smooth draining. Thankfully, clogged sinks are one of the easiest home repairs that you can manage on your own.
Try these methods before calling a plumber:
Loosen the blockage in your sink drain with boiling water. It’s the simplest fix that is convenient to do for simple blockages. Disregard this method if your drain is attached to PVC pipes.
Overheated or dysfunctional disposal can be the culprit of your drainage issues. Turning on the disposal will usually break up the blockage. Activate the reset switch at the side or bottom of the unit to clear clogged sinks.
A flat-bottomed plunger will be the best one for clogged sinks. All you have to do is position the plunger over the drain and begin pumping up and down quickly several times until the water drains freely.
These natural alternatives to using chemical clogged sink cleaners are common household items that you can find in your kitchen. You can double down on intense clogs by repeating the process.
Battle a blockage with the strength of a plumber’s snake that is coiled and can reach down into the drain. There are electric plumber snakes that can tackle more intense clogs. You can also create a makeshift one with a wire coat hanger that has a hooked end used to grab onto the debris.
The elbow-shaped pipe under your sink is the P-trap. This area usually gets blocked with food, grease, and other debris, causing your sink to drain very slowly or not at all.
Fix the clog by disassembling the pipe to clean out the debris causing the blockage. Use gloves, goggles, and towels because this task can get a little messy.
If your drains are overflowing or the water in your sink, bath, or shower won’t drain properly, it will cause all sorts of problems. Some signs that your sink and drain are blocked can include an unpleasant smell around the drain, gurgling noises, and sewage coming up through the drains.
