Blocked Drains Harrogate

A blocked kitchen sink can be a frustrating and messy problem to deal with, especially in the heart of North Yorkshire. At Blocked Drains Harrogate, we understand the importance of having a functioning kitchen sink, and we're here to provide you with some tips on how to clean a blocked kitchen sink.

Before we dive into the cleaning process, it's essential to understand what causes a blocked kitchen sink. Some common causes include:

• Grease and food particles accumulating in the drain pipes
• Hair and soap scum building up in the sink drain
• Mineral deposits and limescale causing blockages
• Improperly installed or damaged drainage systems

1. Turn off the water supply: Before attempting to clean the blocked sink, turn off the water supply to the sink by locating the shut-off valves under the sink and turning them clockwise.
2. Remove any visible blockages: Check the sink drain for any visible blockages, such as hair or food particles, and remove them using a pair of needle-nose pliers or a drain snake.
3. Use baking soda and vinegar: Pour 1 cup of baking soda down the drain, followed by 1 cup of vinegar. Let the mixture sit for a few hours or overnight, then pour hot water down the drain to rinse.
4. Use a drain snake: If the baking soda and vinegar method doesn't work, use a drain snake to remove any blockages further down the drain pipes.
5. Use a plunger: If the blockage is closer to the surface, use a plunger to create suction and loosen the blockage.
6. Use a drain cleaner: If the above methods don't work, you can use a drain cleaner, but be sure to follow the instructions carefully and take necessary safety precautions.

If you've tried the above methods and the blockage persists, it's time to call a professional drainage service like Blocked Drains Harrogate.

To prevent future blockages, make sure to:

• Use a drain screen or filter to catch hair and other particles
