Causes of a clogged sink

There are various causes for a clogged sink. Do you want to unclog your sink? Then it's good to know what the cause of the blockage is. Possible causes include:

Hair, soap residue, and dirt

When using the sink, hair, soap residue, and other dirt end up in it. Over time, these will accumulate in the drain, which can lead to a blockage. This type of blockage can be prevented by regularly removing hair from the drain and flushing the sink regularly with warm water and baking soda.

Limescale

Water contains limescale. In some cases, the sink becomes clogged due to limescale buildup on the inside of the pipe. This can be a cause of blockages in multiple drains.

Blockage in the main pipe

All drains in your home connect to the main pipe, including the sink drain. If there is a blockage in the main pipe, multiple drains will no longer be able to discharge wastewater and residue. If this is the case, you are dealing with a complete blockage. Calling a specialist is therefore necessary to resolve this complete blockage.

Deeper-lying sewer problem

If the sink is not clogged by hair, soap and dirt residue, or blockages, it could also be that something is wrong deeper in the sewer system. For example, a broken or cracked drain pipe can cause multiple drains to stop working. To find out the exact cause of the problem, you can call in a sewer expert. This expert will perform a sewer inspection with a camera, so that the cause and the correct solution can be found as quickly as possible with minimal inconvenience.

Unclogging the sink yourself or calling a specialist?

The moment your sink is clogged, you can do two things: unclog the sink yourself or call a sewer specialist. Often, for blockages, it's best to call a specialist immediately. Our professionals have the right knowledge and tools to solve various blockages. Trying to unclog the sink yourself can often make the situation worse. Usually, the blockage is too deep, and there's a high chance that the problem will be aggravated by incorrect actions or the use of wrong tools. Additionally, you could cause damage and wear to the drain, which will incur even more costs later. Therefore, have your sink unclogged by a specialist. Our certified technicians ensure that the sink is professionally unblocked and the water can drain properly again.

Tips for unclogging the sink yourself

For superficial and minor blockages, you can try to unclog the sink yourself. We are happy to give you some tips for unclogging a sink with small blockages:

Unclogging the sink with water

For initial blockages, you can unclog the sink by pouring buckets of warm water down it. When you see a whirlpool forming in the water, this is often a sign that the sewer connection is no longer blocked.

Unclogging the sink with water and baking soda

Baking soda is a natural miracle solution for clearing minor clogs. You can unclog the sink by flushing the drain with a bucket of hot water and baking soda. Soda is a cleaning salt that can loosen and dissolve dirt in the drain. This way, you can clear clogs caused by soap and dirt buildup.

Unclogging a sink with soda and vinegar

If you have a lot of limescale in your tap water, it's best to try cleaning the drain by flushing it with a mixture of soda and vinegar. This combination dissolves limescale buildup inside the drain, allowing you to unclog the sink.

Cleaning the siphon

For clogs located just behind the siphon, you can also choose to disconnect the siphon and clean it with water and baking soda. When disconnecting, don't forget to place a bucket under the siphon to catch water and debris. This method of unclogging a sink can also be used for unclogging kitchen sinks and drains.

Unclogging a sink with a plunger or drain snake

Plungers and drain snakes can cause wear and tear to the pipes. Therefore, when unclogging a sink, always try one of the methods mentioned above first, or call in a specialist.

Please note: for a porcelain sink, you cannot use boiling water. This can cause the porcelain to crack.

Tips to prevent a clogged sink

At RBNL, we stand for unconditional service, before, during, and after providing a sewer service. But that's not all. We also gladly help you prevent sewer problems from arising, such as a clogged sink. That's why we offer 3 tips to help you prevent a clogged sink:

  • Regularly flush the siphon with water and soda

By regularly flushing the siphon with warm water and a handful of soda, you clear the inside of the drain from soap residue and body grime. This way, you can prevent a clogged sink and unpleasant odors in your home.

  • Place a strainer in front of the drain

By placing a strainer, food particles, dirt residue, and other objects that can cause a clog in the sink will remain in the strainer and not end up in the siphon. This reduces the chance of a clog. Clean the strainer regularly. This way, you can easily unclog the sink if a blockage is just starting!

  • Keep objects that can cause blockages away

Make sure that objects like hairpins and cotton swabs don't accidentally end up in the sink, as this can lead to blockages. 

Couldn't keep the clog at bay after all? No problem, we are here for you and will unclog your sink so you can use it worry-free again in no time.
