When doing laundry, it is important to pay attention to what is going down your sink drain. Certain items such as hair, cotton balls, and lint can cause clogs in the pipe leading from your sink. To avoid a blocked laundry sink and potentially costly plumbing repairs, take the following preventative measures:
• Regularly check the filter in your washer to make sure it is clean and free of lint
• Use a hair catcher or drain strainer to prevent hairs from going down the sink
• Regularly check for clogs or debris around the pipe leading to the sink, and remove any buildup immediately
• Avoid pouring grease, oil, and other thick liquids down the sink, as these can congeal and form clogs over time
• If your drain is frequently blocked, consider investing in a quality plumbing snake to quickly remove blockages without damaging the pipes
• Finally, make sure you are using a liquid detergent specifically designed for laundry sinks. Some dishwashing soaps or powder detergents can form a thick paste when mixed with water, resulting in a clogged drain.
