A blocked sink is frustrating and inconvenient, whether it's in your kitchen or bathroom. At Horsham Drainage Pros, we provide fast, effective sink unblocking services that get your water flowing freely again with minimal disruption.

Our engineers are equipped to handle all types of sink blockages, from simple P-trap clogs to more complex issues deeper in the drainage system. We use a combination of manual tools, high-pressure jetting and specialist equipment to clear blockages quickly and thoroughly.

Signs of a Blocked Sink

• Water draining slowly or not at all
• Gurgling sounds from the plughole or drain
• Unpleasant smells coming from the sink
• Water backing up into the sink when appliances run
• Standing water in the sink basin
• Bubbles forming in the standing water

Common Causes of Blocked Sinks

• Kitchen sinks: Cooking fat and oil, food particles, coffee grounds, soap residue
• Bathroom sinks: Hair, soap scum, toothpaste, shaving cream, cotton buds
• Foreign objects: Small items accidentally dropped down the drain
• Pipe scale and limescale - mineral build-up narrowing the pipe diameter
• Shared drain issues - blockages further down the drainage system

Kitchen vs Bathroom Sink Blockages

Kitchen sink blockages are most commonly caused by fat, oil and grease (FOG) that solidifies in the pipes, combined with food debris. Even if you use a waste disposal unit, small particles can accumulate over time and create a blockage.

Bathroom sink blockages typically result from a combination of hair and soap scum. Hair gets caught in the drain and combines with sticky soap residue to form a dense clog that water struggles to pass through.
