Professional Sink and Basin Blockage Clearing Services

Clogged sinks and basins can cause slow drainage, unpleasant odors, and potential water overflow if left untreated. Blockages are often caused by hair, soap residue, food debris, grease, or foreign objects, which gradually restrict water flow and create hygiene and plumbing issues. Prompt professional clearing helps prevent further damage to your pipes, flooring, and surrounding areas.

At Citi Plumbing, our experienced technicians use modern equipment and proven techniques to accurately locate and remove blockages. From minor clogs to severe obstructions, we restore proper drainage, prevent recurring problems, and ensure your plumbing system functions efficiently for the long term.

Blockage causes

Understanding the Causes of Sink or Basin Blockages

Hair and Soap Residue

Hair strands and soap scum can build up over time, restricting water flow and causing clogs in sinks and basins.

Foreign Objects

Small items accidentally dropped or flushed into the sink can obstruct water flow and lead to clogged drains.

Food Particles and Grease

Food scraps, oil, and grease from kitchen sinks can solidify inside pipes, leading to slow drainage and blockages.

Mineral Buildup

Hard water deposits and limescale can form inside pipes, reducing drainage efficiency and contributing to blockages.

Accumulated Dirt and Debris

Dust, grime, and other debris can collect over time in the drain or trap, causing slow drainage or complete clogs.

Poor Drainage Installation

Improperly designed or installed sinks and basins can trap debris, making blockages more likely to occur.

Sink and basin blockages often build up slowly and may go unnoticed until slow drainage or unpleasant odors. Below are the most common causes of these blockages and the problems they can create.

Yes. Citi Plumbing offers prompt emergency services for urgent blockages, ensuring minimal disruption and quick restoration of proper drainage.

How long does a blockage inspection take?

Inspections typically take 30–60 minutes for standard sinks and basins, but more complex or hidden blockages may require additional time.
