Blocked drain? It happens more often that you
think, but you dont have to turn to a plumber
right away.

Here is how you can unclog a blocked sink with a
plunger, without unnecessary call out fees!

  • Have the right tools for the job. Not all
    plungers and plumbing equipment are the same.

There are two basic types of plungers available
on the market one is a cup plunger and the other
a flange plunger.

The most common of these two is the classic cup
type, or as we know it as, a sink plunger.
Youll need this plunger for sink clogs, but make
sure that it is in a good condition first.

  • Dont Plunge with Chemicals! If you have already
    poured any kind of chemical down the drain, you
    should not try plunging it afterward.

  • The plunging action will create a dangerous
    splatter of these chemicals onto your clothes and
    skin. It can also generate toxic fumes that are
    harmful to your health.
  • Besides, using chemicals should be avoided
    because it can corrode your pipes as well!

  • Drain excess water.
  • It may be difficult to do because the drain is
    blocked, but if you have too much water in the
    sink while youre plunging, its going to make a
    huge mess.

  • Seal it up tight!
  • Its a common mistake to leave too much air in
    the plunger. So if the plunger cup is full of
    air, it compresses every time you press down and
    act like a shock absorber.

  • This will defeat the point entirely. That is why
    you need to keep some water to fill the plunger
    cup. Use petroleum jelly to the rim of the
    plunger as well to really make sure that you
    create the perfect suction.

  • These are just a few small things that you can do
    to make sure that you make the most of your sink
    plunging attempts. If you find that it isnt
    working, call in an expert and avoid the use of
    chemicals because these can can burn skin,
    clothing and pipes!
