Kitchen sink not draining quickly? Want to know how to clog a toilet? Before you call a plumber, try these helpful unblocking methods first.<\/p>\n

First, check the trap<\/h1>\n

Before you invest in other tools, check the sink trap. It’s that little U-bend under the sink. As water flows down the pipes, the sink trap can fill up with hair, sludge, silt and scraps, slowing down the water flow.<\/p>\n

\"sink<\/p>\n

Unscrew the trap (put a bucket underneath) and stick a wire coat hanger up the pipe and dig around. You may be able to dislodge the blockage from here.<\/p>\n

Next, try a plunger<\/h1>\n

There are two basic types of plungers; the sink plunger (the most common one) and the toilet plunger (which has an extra flap that folds in at the end).<\/p>\n

\"Types<\/p>\n

To use, set the plunger over the sink drain (or toilet), make sure a tight seal is formed, and push up and down in a rhythmic motion.<\/p>\n

You may need to block the sink overflow hole (it’s the little hole just under the faucet) in order for the plunger to do its job.<\/p>\n
