What Shouldn’t You Put Down Your Sink Drain?
It may seem like you can put anything down your sink drain as long as it fits, especially when you have a garbage disposal.
However, many things can harm your plumbing pipes and create clogs, including:
- Eggshells
- Coffee grounds
- Pasta
- Rice
- Flour
- Butter or margarine
- Grease from cooking oils
- Fruit pits and stickers
- Bones
- Medications
- Hair
These items can expand and put pressure on your pipes or harden and stick to your pipes, eventually causing a full sink drain blockage.
Instead of taking a chance on damaging your plumbing for convenience, be sure to properly dispose of these types of food waste in the garbage.

DIY Methods of Clearing a Clogged Sink
If you do have a clogged drain, there are some things you can try to unclog it yourself before you call a professional plumber.
While it may seem simple and convenient to use a chemical drain cleaner to unclog your drain, you should use other DIY methods. The chemicals in those drain cleaners are harsh and can corrode your plumbing pipes, causing bigger problems in the long run.
You can make a drain cleaning solution that works but isn’t harsh like chemical drain cleaners:
- Pour boiling water down the drain.
- Add one part vinegar and one part baking soda.
- Let the solution sit for several minutes.
- Flush the solution with more boiling water.
If that doesn’t eliminate the clog, you can also try using a toilet plunger to unclog your sink.

When Should You Call a Plumber for a Clogged Sink?
Sometimes the clog in your drain is too much for a DIY method, or you just don’t want to deal with the hassle. Regardless of why you need clogged sink repair services, the professionals at United Air Temp can provide the services you need.
While our professionals are happy to clear any sink drain clog, it’s important to call us when you have multiple drain backups simultaneously.
When several of your sinks are not draining properly, it’s a sign of a sewer line clog, which requires professional service.
The skilled and experienced plumbers at UAT can locate the blockage, diagnose the problem, and find the best solution without damaging your drain pipes or disrupting your home.
