In this article, we'll provide you with a step-by-step guide on how to clear a blocked kitchen sink, and if you're in the Harrogate area, we're just a phone call away to help you with your drainage needs.

Why Do Kitchen Sinks Get Blocked?

Kitchen sinks can get blocked due to a variety of reasons, including:

  • Grease and fat buildup
  • Food particles and debris
  • Hair and soap scum
  • Mineral deposits
  • Improper plumbing

Step 1: Turn Off the Water Supply

Before you start clearing the blockage, make sure to turn off the water supply to the sink. Locate the shut-off valves under the sink and turn them clockwise to shut off the water supply.

Step 2: Use a Plunger

A plunger is a simple and effective tool to clear a blocked kitchen sink. Place the plunger over the clogged drain and push down slowly and steadily until you feel resistance. Hold for a few seconds, then lift up. Repeat this process several times until the blockage is cleared.

Step 3: Use Baking Soda and Vinegar

If the plunger doesn't work, try using baking soda and vinegar to clear the blockage. 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.

Step 4: Use a Drain Snake

If the blockage is further down the drain, you may need to use a drain snake to clear it. Feed the snake into the drain and rotate it as you push it further into the pipe. This will help break up any blockages and clear the drain.

Step 5: Call a Professional

If none of the above steps work, it's time to call a professional drainage company like Blocked Drains Harrogate. Our team of experienced drain specialists will use advanced equipment and techniques to clear the blockage and get your sink flowing freely again.
