What Causes Blocked Sink Drains?
You use your sinks daily for various reasons. From scrubbing dirty plates to washing your face each night, a lot of oils and debris pass through your drains over time. The most common causes of blocked sinks are:
- Accumulation of food particles
- Grease and oil buildup
- Hair and soap residues
- Foreign objects
- Natural mineral buildup
- Faulty plumbing infrastructure
It’s important to remember that your drains aren’t meant to handle excessive oils, products, and other debris. Regular drain cleaning can help prevent blockages.
Want to Try DIY?
Some minor blockages might be treatable with simple home solutions. You can first attempt to clear the clog with a mix of super hot water with baking soda & vinegar. Your local hardware shop may also have a drain snake you can purchase to attempt to remove the clog yourself.
