Emergency Plumbing Service St Lucia - How To Fix Common problem in Bathroom Sinks

9/12/2020

 
EMERGENCY PLUMBING SERVICE ST LUCIA
You know its trouble when the sink fills up with water in the bathroom. Slow draining or clogged drain is common in bathroom sinks. Often, this is a plumbing job that homeowners can do. The job involves getting underneath the sink. If you are working on a bathroom sink problem, here are some pointers.

You will have to clean out the p-trap underneath the sink. This is where a lot of elements get stuck such as hair and other debris get stuck and back up the drain. 

Use a lock plier to gently unscrew the collar or nut on both ends of the p-trap.  Have a bucket or basin underneath to catch as some water will come out. Drain it and carefully remove the p-trap. Get all junk inside of there out so that drain moves again. 

The popup sink drain is another area where it gets clogged up. It can be raised and lowered with a lever, that is located on or near the faucet body. The device in there may obstruct elements such as hair and other debris and get caught in. You will need to uninstall it and clean it out. Once cleaned, reinstall the device.

When done cleaning these two areas, turn on the faucet to check if the drain works. As you are running some water, check the pipes under the sink to make sure you do not have leaks. 

Also, check the supply valves to make sure that they are still good and not leaking. Check if there is any corrosion on there. Overlooking minor problems in these areas may eventually cause water damage which calls for professional plumbing service. Ignoring these simple problems may worsen in time and the trouble, and the plumbing problem may call for emergency plumbing service St Lucia.
