get into the sink drain.

Scoop the water out so you can inspect the drain. Check if
there are food particles blocking the hole and remove
them if there are. Turn the faucet on to check if that solves
the issue.

If the clog is in the pipe, try a popular home remedy: baking soda and vinegar. Pour a cup of baking soda into the drain then pour a cup of vinegar. Plug the
hole and let the two ingredients create a chemical reaction.

Wait for a few minutes as the baking soda and vinegar
combination fizzes out the sticky particles on the pipe
walls. When you no longer hear any fizzing sound, pour a kettle of boiling water to wash away
the ingredients.

If the clog persists, it’s time to make use of your good old
plunger. Put some water in the sink to ensure that the
plunger’s rubber part gets soaked. Position it right in the middle of the hole and start
plunging in a consistent pace. Repeat for about 15 times then
test if the clog was removed.

When the blockage is too stubborn, make use of your plumbing snake. Detach the
trap under the sink and insert the snake. Turn the crank
clockwise to further insert the snake. Keep on pushing the
wire until the clog is broken into tinier pieces.
