If your sink isn’t draining properly, it may be blocked. The good news is that you can often fix this yourself using a plunger.
What you’ll need:
- A plunger (available from most DIY stores)
- A cloth or paper towel
Follow these steps:
Use a wet cloth or paper towel to block the overflow opening. This helps create better pressure.
Fill the sink with enough water to cover the rubber part of the plunger.
Place the plunger over the plug hole and push down firmly, then pull up. Repeat this motion 4–5 times.
Remove the plunger and cloth, then see if the water drains away.
If the blockage hasn’t cleared, try again a few times until the water drains freely.
