Blocked Sink or Basin?🚰
💧 Remove the u-bend
Slowly unscrew the threaded caps from each side of the u-bend using your wrench and direct any rush of water into the bucket. If the threaded caps are rigid (due to age) you can use a spray of WD40 or similar lubricant to loosen them.
Ideally, you want to take the u-bend to another sink or an outside area where you can flush it clean with water. At this point use the antibacterial spray and sponge to clean the u-bend thoroughly, as bacteria has most likely been lurking in there for a while. 🧼
💧 Re-attach the u-bend
Re-attach the u-bend using the wrench and test that you’ve sealed it correctly by running the cold tap slowly. Hopefully, you won’t have any leaks and you can then remove the towels and bucket. If you do notice a leak, try detaching and reattaching the u-bend again. 🚱
💧 Test that you’ve cleared the blockage
Run the cold tap again to see if the sink is draining correctly. 🪠
