Washroom Sink Drain Maintenance


***

Q: How does one find and remove hair clogs in washroom sinks? What sort of chemicals may one use to clean sink drains? A: As shown in the video....... ********************************************

Relevant Background: “A sink – also known by other names including sinker, washbowl, hand basin, and wash basin – is a bowl-shaped plumbing fixture used for washing hands, dishwashing, and other purposes. Sinks have taps (faucets) that supply hot and cold water and may include a spray feature to be used for faster rinsing. They also include a drain to remove used water; this drain may itself include a strainer and/or shut-off device and an overflow-prevention device. Sinks may also have an integrated soap dispenser. Many sinks, especially in kitchens, are installed adjacent to or inside a counter... When a sink becomes clogged, a person will often resort to using a chemical drain cleaner or a plunger, though most professional plumbers will remove the clog with a drain auger (often called a "plumber's snake")...(“Sink”, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sink)
*** Relevant article: "The clear “winner” when it comes to clogged bathroom sinks is – hair.When hair gets wet, it tends to clump together, which makes it a perfect clogging material.These clumps will go down the pipes, but will also stick to them at some point.What makes the problem even worse is the fact clumps will only collect more wet hair as it arrives from the top." ("The Most Common Reasons for a Clogged Bathroom Sink", https://plumbertip.com/clogged-bathroom-sink/)

*** Relevant estimate: «  "Sinks and tubs average between $100 and $275 for basic clogs. More complicated projects that involve toilets or hydro jetting can max out at $400." ("How Much Does Drain Cleaning Cost?, https://www.angieslist.com/articles/how-much-does-drain-cleaning-cost.htm) *** Relevant Insurance Coverage: a. Broad property coverages with i. Installation floater if a new sink needs to be installed.... b. Travel & health c. Personal property coverage for jewellery d. Liability coverage both personal and business ***
