Last week we talked in detail about the clogging of the sink and its causes. This week we want to continue this discussion and explore more reasons together.
What are the symptoms of a clogged sink?
Slow and slow draining of water
As mentioned, sometimes the pipe clogs due to the accumulation of fat and various substances and the diameter of the pipe decreases. In this case, the water drains slowly. Sometimes different materials such as hair or food accumulate in the pipe and clog the pipe. In this case, the water in the sink is not drained or is drained slowly.
