What to Do With a Clogged Sink

The sink is one of the most used fixtures in the modern home. Chances are, your home has multiple sinks throughout it. Whether you are washing dishes, washing your hands, or bathing a baby, sinks are a staple in every home. Unfortunately, though, everyone will likely have to deal with their sinks clogging at some point or another. When one sink in the house becomes clogged it can throw off the entire flow of your home. It will continue to cause disruptions and obstacles until you fix the problem. Not to mention that when you are dealing with a clog, it will only get worse until you do something about it or call a professional for some help.

There are ways you can prevent clogs from happening as often, though. You might even save yourself some money in the end! Continue reading to learn more about clogged sinks and how you can prevent them.

The Modern Sink and Your HomeWashing Tomatoes in the Sink

Ever since plumbing was introduced into homes, the sink was one of the first features added. Even before plumbing, people would use basins of water to wash their faces and hands in. The development of home plumbing made many great things possible, but it also means clogs are possible too. 

Essentially, a sink is made up of pipes, valves, and a faucet with a spout. When the water is on and the valves are opened, the water flows from the spout into the sink and then down the drain and through the pipes. 

When your sink becomes clogged, it doesn’t drain the water as fast or at all, and can start to smell and cause other problems. Taking care of your sink will keep you clog-free longer and keep your sink working efficiently.

As mentioned above, clogs are extremely common in homes. Clogging your sink is easier to do than you might think. The pipes in your plumbing system are extremely narrow, so even the smallest of objects can get stuck and cause it to clog. 

Some common examples of things that can cause a clog to form in your sinks are: 

  • Trash
  • Grease
  • Food scraps
  • Small objects
  • Coffee filters
  • Paper towels
  • Eggshells

None of the above-listed objects should ever go down the drain. However, if something accidentally goes down the drain and causes a clog, here's a quick DIY trick you can try to address the problem:

One way to get rid of a small clog is to pour apple cider vinegar and baking soda down your drain. The mixture will bubble up and cause a reaction to occur that breaks down any build-up and allows water to flow freely down the drain once again. 

If the clog is big or too far down the drain for this, though, it may be time to call in a professional.

In order to maintain a properly functioning house and save yourself thousands of dollars in damages and repair bills, you should always try to maintain clean, clog-free pipes. 

The best way to do this is to have a plumber come out once a year for routine maintenance. This will help you understand the state your plumbing system is in, as well as any potential drain problems that could be in your future. 

When you know about potential problems, you may be able to stop them before they happen! This could save you money down the road because the repairs you need are likely simpler. Also, early detection and repair can prevent costly damage to your pipes. When it comes to your plumbing system, it is always better to be safe than sorry.
