How to deal with a blocked sink in South Kensington

When your gully trap is overflowing or when the sink doesn’t empty as it should, you may be dealing with a blockage within the sewer line and waste pipes caused by different obstructions like food that clog up the pipes.
How to hand the blockage

A blocked sink South Kensington can be handled in different ways depending on the level of expertise that an individual has. The plunger method can be applied so as to get the gunk out. You need a plunger pressed very firmly onto the hole and then pulled upwards in a slow motion. This is something that you should keep on repeating up until such a time when you hear the gurgling of water as the blockage releases. If this method doesn’t work well, you may need to exert even more pressure by covering the overflow homes using a damp cloth. You should now rinse the pipe out. Sometimes plunging doesn’t work and this may mean that the blockage is even more serious than you had initially anticipated. You can:
Plug the plug hole
Put a bucket below the sink
Unscrew the pipe but ensure that the bucket is in a position to catch the water
Rinse the pipe thoroughly so as to take out anything causing the blockage
Use a piece of wire to poke the blockage out
Reconnect the pipe and then empty the waste in the bucket

Pour some boiling water and some dishwashing liquid into the plughole so as to clear any debris that remains
If this method doesn’t work, it may mean that the blockage is within the waste pipe that is connected to the sink. It is always essential to evaluate how serious a problem really is before you decide what to do. At times, it may be a necessity to call in the experts to handle the unblocking of a sink in the most efficient way possible and bring back the sanity into your home.
