HOW YOU CAN IMPROVE THE FLOW OF YOUR SINK

 

If your sink is draining slowly, there is likely an obstruction or build-up blocking the drain. Fortunately, there are a number of simple methods you can use to improve your sink's drainage while preventing a future clog or other common plumbing problems.

TAKE CARE OF YOUR RUBBISH DISPOSAL AND TOILET

It's important to be mindful of what you put down your rubbish disposal. Many harmful substances, such as cooking grease, can build up in the pipes and prevent food waste from going down the drain. To avoid this type of problem, you should remove plates and cooking utensils before flushing.

The same principle applies to your toilet. It is important that you only flush items that are labelled as ‘flushable’ and throw all other paper or cotton items in the bin. This will prevent the toilet from clogging and your sink from becoming blocked.

FLUSH YOUR SINK WITH HOT WATER

Be sure to flush your drain so that food debris can easily flow down the drain. It's also a good idea to pour a pot of boiling water down every sink in your home to effectively remove built-up debris in your pipes. Also clean all drain plugs and strainers to remove any loose hair that could be clogging the drain.

If you notice any signs of an impending clog, you should flush your sink before the problem gets out of hand. You can simply call a plumber or flush the sink yourself to remove the cause of the problem.
