How To Remove The Sink Stopper

Sink stoppers are essential for keeping water in the sink when you need it and for draining it when you don't. But what do you do when the sink stopper gets stuck? Don't worry, it's usually a quick and easy fix. Here are a few simple steps on how to remove a stuck sink stopper:

1. Check for a Screw

Some sink stoppers have a screw that holds them in place. If your sink stopper has a screw, you'll need to remove it before you can remove the stopper. To do this, simply use a screwdriver to loosen the screw and then remove it.

2. Use a Pliers

If your sink stopper doesn't have a screw, you can use a pair of pliers to remove it. To do this, simply grab the stopper with the pliers and twist it back and forth until it comes loose. Be careful not to damage the sink or the stopper when using pliers.

3. Use a Suction Cup

If you don't have a screwdriver or pliers, you can also use a suction cup to remove the sink stopper. To do this, simply wet the suction cup and then place it over the stopper. Press down on the suction cup and then pull up on the stopper. The suction cup should create enough suction to remove the stopper.

4. Use a Wire Coat Hanger

If you don't have a screwdriver, pliers, or a suction cup, you can also use a wire coat hanger to remove the sink stopper. To do this, simply straighten out the coat hanger and then bend one end into a hook. Insert the hook into the hole in the sink stopper and then pull up on the coat hanger. The hook should catch on the stopper and pull it out.

5. Call a Plumber

If you've tried all of the above methods and you still can't remove the sink stopper, you may need to call a plumber. A plumber will have the tools and expertise to remove the stopper safely and without damaging your sink.
