Professionals Know How to Fix Clogged Sink Problems

Home / Drain Cleaning / Professionals Know How to Fix Clogged Sink Problems

How to Fix Clogged SinkMost homeowners have been faced with a clogged sink at some point in time. Some clogs may render a sink useless until they are able to be cleared away. Sinks suffering from severe clogs often require the assistance of a professional plumber from Ben Franklin. Hiring professionals who know how to fix clogged sink problems can make all of the difference.

Clearing Your Clog

There are several methods professional plumbers use to clear food particles, soap residue, hair and other matter from a bathroom or kitchen sink. These include:

  1. Plunger: Most plumbers will attempt to plunge the drain first. In some cases, this may be all that is needed to clear the drain. Before plunging, it is important to fill the sink partway with boiling hot water. People with a double sink should seal the unclogged drain with a wet cloth before plunging.
  2. Check the Trap: The pipes under the sink bend in a U-shape, and usually have a plug that can be opened at the bottom of the bend. Since this is the area where many clogs occur, the plumber may be able to pull the clog out through the trap.
  3. Auger: Once the plug is removed, the plumber may find that the clog is a bit further down the pipe. If this is the case, they may use an auger to pull the obstruction out.

Dallas plumbers who know how to fix clogged sink issues can help restore your sink to its full functioning capacity.

The Importance of Hiring a Professional

Although many of these methods may sound simple, inexperienced plumbers can cause extensive damage to your pipes and sink. It is essential to call professionals who know how to fix clogged sink problems in order to prevent any further damage from occurring.

Experienced plumbers at Ben Franklin can help homeowners clear any problematic clogs to restore their kitchen or bathroom sink. Contact us today to find out more information on our full line of services.
