Learning how to unclog a sink may seem arduous, but fixing it yourself, without the effort or expense of calling in a plumber, is undoubtedly satisfying. A freely running sink also makes it easier to keep hygienic and avoid pests such as sink flies.
Assuming there are no obvious visible obstructions, the first indication that your sink might be blocked is usually that it's slow draining. A clogged sink may also smell bad or gurgle unusually when draining.
