Dealing with clogged sinks and blocked drains can be very frustrating. If you a have this problem, there are many ways you can deal with it. If the problem isn’t remedied easily, you should call the local plumbers immediately. Otherwise, you risk causing permanent damage to your sink. That being said, if you do have a clogged sink, here are some easy remedies that may do the trick.

Use a Plunger: To do this, fill the sink with hot water until it is half or a quarter of the way full. Work the plunger up and down until the drain clears.

Use Vinegar and Baking Soda: Put on rubber gloves and use a cup or bowl to take the standing water out of the sink and pour it into a bucket. Push 1 cup of baking soda down the drain with a spatula to make sure it penetrates. Pour 1 cup of vinegar in the drain and use a stopper to make sure it all goes down. Wait five minutes. Run warm water through the drain to see if it has cleared.

The Wet and Dry Vacuum: If you have one of these, it can be a great way to unclog a drain. Set the vacuum to liquids and cover the vent to prevent a mess. Create the tightest seal you can over the drain. Turn the vacuum to its highest setting and hope for the best!
