Bathroom Sink And Bath Blocked

If your bathroom sink or bath is blocked, it can be a real pain. Not only is it inconvenient, but it can also be pretty unhygienic. The good news is that there are a few things you can do to unblock it yourself.

The first thing you need to do is identify what is causing the blockage. If you can see the blockage, you may be able to remove it with your hands or a pair of pliers. However, if the blockage is further down the drain, you will need to use a drain snake or a chemical drain cleaner.

If you are using a drain snake, insert it into the drain and turn the handle clockwise. This will help to loosen the blockage and allow the water to flow freely again. If you are using a chemical drain cleaner, follow the instructions on the bottle carefully. Be sure to wear gloves and eye protection when using a chemical drain cleaner, as it can be harmful if it comes into contact with your skin or eyes.

Once you have cleared the blockage, run hot water down the drain for a few minutes to help flush out any remaining debris. You can also pour a cup of baking soda down the drain followed by a cup of vinegar. This will help to deodorize the drain and prevent future blockages.

If you are unable to clear the blockage yourself, you may need to call a plumber. A plumber will have the tools and expertise to clear the blockage quickly and efficiently.

Here are some tips to help prevent future blockages:
