Should I try to repair my clogged sink?

 The key to unclogging a sink is early intervention

Blockages in the sink drain generally build up over time, so noticing the early signs that the drain is starting to block is key to being able to unclog the sink yourself. If you let the sink gurgle in the hope that it will unclog itself, the blockage will become more serious and you will need to call in an experienced local plumber.

What do I need to unblock a sink?

The best and cheapest do-it-yourself plumbing tool to keep in your toolbox at home to unblock the drain of a sink, shower or washbasin is the humble plunger. The easy-to-use plunger is the ideal solution when you realise that your sink is not draining properly.  If you do not have a plunger, you can buy one at your local hardware store. 

When a plunger fails to unblock the sink

When you have exhausted all do-it-yourself options and your sink drain will not unclog, it is time to call an experienced professional plumber.  It is important to contact your local plumber as soon as possible, because if you don't take action, the problem will not only get worse, it will also become more expensive to fix and you risk having unhealthy water overflowing into your sink. Blocked drains can quickly go from a minor problem to an emergency plumbing problem.
