Common Causes of Blocked Sinks

Understanding the common causes of blocked sinks can help in identifying the problem quickly. Here are some typical culprits:
Food Particles and Grease
Kitchen sinks often get clogged due to the accumulation of food remnants and grease, which can solidify and obstruct the flow of water. Additionally, the careful disposal of coffee grounds is crucial to prevent blockages.
In bathrooms, hair combined with soap scum can form tough clogs that impede drainage. The presence of excess water in the sink can be an indicator of such a blockage.
Small items like jewellery, toys, or other debris accidentally dropped into the sink can cause significant blockages.
Hard water can lead to mineral build-up inside pipes, gradually narrowing the passage and restricting water flow.

Common Signs of a Blocked Sink

Recognising the signs of a blocked sink early can prevent more severe plumbing issues. Here are some indicators that your sink may be blocked:
Slow Draining Water
If water is draining slowly from your kitchen or bathroom sink, it may indicate a blockage in the pipes.
Accumulation of water in the sink that doesn’t drain is a clear sign of a blockage.
Nasty smells emanating from the sink drain can be caused by trapped food particles, grease, or other debris.
Strange noises from the drain when water is draining can indicate air trapped by a blockage.
If water overflows from your sink, it’s a sign of a serious blockage that needs immediate attention.

Preventing Future Blockages: How to Prevent Sink Blockages

Preventative measures are essential to avoid future blockages. Here are some tips to help keep your sinks clear:

  • Use Sink Strainers: Implement sink strainers to catch food particles and other debris before they go down the drain.
  • Dispose of Grease Properly: Avoid pouring grease down the sink. Instead, collect it in a container and dispose of it in the trash once it solidifies.
  • Prevent Sink Blockages: Properly dispose of food and drink wastes, and regularly rinse your pipes with soda crystals, hot water, and white vinegar to keep them free from blockages.

  • Regular Maintenance: Flush your drains with hot water regularly to help prevent build-up. Using soda crystals or a suitable drain cleaner can also help maintain clear pipes.
  • Avoid Foreign Objects: Be mindful of what goes down the drain. Small items like jewellery or toys can cause significant blockages if they get lodged in the pipes.
    • Blocked sinks can be a major inconvenience, but with 0800 HomeFix, you don’t have to worry. Our professional sink unblocking services are designed to quickly and effectively resolve your plumbing issues, ensuring your sinks are free-flowing and functional.

    Camilla Smith
    Great customer service From the initial telephone conversation with Rachel, I felt in safe hands with 0800 Homefix. Rachel arranged for an engineer to inspect the problems I was having with my faulty boiler, Rachel arranged for an engineer to come out that day which was brilliant. The customer service was brilliant from the start to finish, I highly recommend 0800 Homefix. Thank you again.
    Customer in Wokingham
    Following on from a new central heating system installed by 0800 Homefix there was a lot of dust throughout the property, it was a huge job in fairness we never had central heating before as it was warm air units so the engineers were working in every room running pipes and hanging radiators. 0800 Homefix kindly facilitated a professional deep clean following on from the works at no extra cost. Very thoughtful and professional. The house is now spotless. Would highly recommend.
    Customer in Farnham
    Leak fixed I called out we fix to investigate a leak that was present in my kitchen. I was reluctant to do so due to the ongoing matters with COVID-19. However, the engineer that turned up to fix the leak was equipped with a face mask, gloves and shoe covers. He also made sure to keep 2 metres distance away from me and my wife at all times. He fixed the leak and kept everything tidy and clean throughout. Would not think twice about recommending!
