A completely blocked sink needs more than a plunger sometimes. Here is the Flint guide.
The trap
The P-trap under the sink is the most likely spot. It unscrews and empties into a bucket.
The snake
If the trap is clear, a drain snake through the branch line reaches the deeper clog.
The vent
A blocked vent can also stop a sink from draining.
The call
A fully blocked sink is a quick pro fix. Call 888-217-3585 and Flint Plumbing Experts will match you with a Flint pro.
