    Clogged sinks are one of the most common household problems. They can be a major inconvenience, and often lead to water damage if not fixed in a timely manner.

    What causes a clogged kitchen sink?

    One of the most common causes of a clogged kitchen sink is food waste. When bits of food and grease build up in the pipes, they can eventually create a blockage. Another common cause of clogged sinks is hair. When hair sheds from your head, it can fall into the sink and get caught in the drain. Over time, this can create a buildup that will eventually cause a blockage.

    How to fix it?

    If your kitchen sink is clogged, don't panic! There are a few simple steps you can take to fix the problem.

    First, try using a plunger. Put the plunger over the drain and push and pull it up and down. This can often dislodge a clog.
    If that doesn't work, try using a drain snake. Put the drain snake into the drain and turn it clockwise. This will help to break up any clogs.
    If neither of those methods works, you may need to use a chemical drain cleaner. Be sure to read the instructions on the bottle carefully before use. Pour the cleaner into the drain and let it sit for the amount of time specified on the bottle. Then, flush the drain with hot water.
    With these simple steps, you should be able to unclog your kitchen sink in no time!

    What you'll need for DIY

    1. A plunger: This is the first and most important tool you'll need to unclog your kitchen sink. Make sure you have a good seal on the plunger before you start trying to unclog the drain.
    2. A wire hanger: If the plunger doesn't work, you can try using a wire hanger to fish the clog out of the drain. Just be careful not to scratch the sink with the wire hanger.
    3. A plumber's snake: This is a long, flexible piece of metal that can help to break up a clog or reach it if it's out of reach. You can usually find a plumber's snake at your local hardware store.
    4. Boiling water: Boiling water can help to break up a clog and make it easier to remove. Be careful not to splash yourself when you pour the boiling water into the sink.
    5. Vinegar and baking soda: This combination can help to break up a clog naturally. Just pour 1/2 cup of baking soda down the drain, followed by 1/2 cup of vinegar. Let it sit for 15 minutes, then flush with hot water.
