5 Ways to Fix a Slow Sink Drain

The certified plumbers at Galaxy Plumbing, one of leading plumbing contractors that offer extensive drain cleaning Vancouver services, have come up with a list of ways to fix a slow sink drain efficiently.

1.    You can put a Zip-it tool to use. It can conveniently catch all the hair and debris that might have been collected in the sink, which can be then pulled out with ease.

2.    You can also remove the pop-up that is placed right under the sink in order to clean it thoroughly. More often than not, the pop-up is attached through a nut to drain and can be easily taken off.

3.    Cleaning the sink overflow is another great option when you want to fix a slow sink drain. All you need to do is to allow some air into the drain when the sink is filled with water.

4.    You can always use a homemade drain cleaner to drain the pipes. Such cleaners are more efficient than the normally used chemically infused cleaners, and they help you save on a lot of money, as well.

5.    As old a trick as it may be, plunging has always been helpful in making a slow draining sink functional. To make it more efficient, you can cover the sink overflow with a duct tape, which helps in creating a vacuum and augments the convenience with which a blocked pipe can be cleared off.
