Drain Cleaning Solutions
Locate the P-Trap and Cleanout
- Find the P-trap under the sink, typically located directly below the drain.
- If a cleanout is present near the P-trap, locate it for easier access to the drain line.
Disassemble the P-Trap
- Using a wrench, carefully unscrew the P-trap.
- Place a container or towel to catch any water or debris that may spill out.
Remove Blockages
- Inspect the P-trap for any debris, hair, soap scum, or grease buildup.
- Clean the P-trap thoroughly, using a brush or small tools to remove stubborn blockages.
Clear the Cleanout
- If your drain has a cleanout, use a snake or plumbing auger to clear any debris deeper in the pipe.
- Rotate the snake through the cleanout to break through any clogs.
Reassemble and Test
- Once clean, reattach the P-trap and ensure everything is tightly secured.
- Run water through the drain to check for leaks and confirm that the flow is clear.
To keep your lavatory sink drain clean, use a hair catcher and avoid pouring toothpaste, soap, or other debris down the drain. If you experience a severe clog, call a professional for expert assistance.
