FAQs

Answering your sink blockage questions

If your sink is draining slowly or not draining at all, it’s likely that you have a blocked sink. You may also notice gurgling sounds or unpleasant odours coming from your sink.

While there are some DIY methods for fixing a blocked sink, such as using a plunger or a drain snake, it’s always best to seek the help of a professional plumber. DIY methods can sometimes make the problem worse, causing more damage to your sink or plumbing system.

Often, plumbers will use a drain snake or high-pressure jetting to clear blocked sinks. They may also use a camera inspection to locate the source of the blockage and determine the best course of action.

The cost of fixing a blocked sink can vary depending on the severity of the blockage. More complex blockages or those that require additional repairs may cost more. However, we try to keep costs down by charging in 15-minute increments after the initial hour, so you’re only paying for the time it takes to clear your sink.
