Many slow drain issues stem from blockages that can be cleared without professional help.

Clear the Stopper and Drain Trap

Remove the stopper to check for trapped hair or debris.

Clean the P-trap underneath the sink to remove build-up.

Use Hot Water and Baking Soda

Pour baking soda down the drain followed by hot water to break down grease and grime.

Repeat regularly to keep drains flowing smoothly.

Try a Plunger

A cup plunger can create suction to clear minor blockages.

Ensure sealed contact around the drain for effective plunging.

When to Call a Plumber

If drainage remains slow after these fixes, professional inspection is advised.

Persistent issues may indicate more serious problems like pipe damage.
