One of the most common problems with sink is the stopper. The stopper gets fixed in its position and also gets locked making it impossible for you to use the sink. This can happen with the kitchen sink or the bathroom sink. There is no need to worry because the solution is pretty simple. Go under the sink and you will notice that the stopper gets fixed to the sink outlet with the help of the arm. All you need to do is release the arm and the pressure then the stopper would automatically pop up. If you try to release the stopper from the top you may end up damaging the stopper or pushing it further down into the socket making it impossible to be removed. Also the link or the chain attaching the stopper and the sink may break. So never force the stopper out from the top but reach out to the bottom of the sink. You may need to unscrew the covering in order to do this at the bottom of the sink. Always remember to replace the covering and the screws and without doing do not run water in the sink. You may end up letting out water into the kitchen area.

The other problems with the sink can be that the water does not drain out. When this happens the most common problem is that there is some solid food item or a solid particle stuck in the drain pipe. It is difficult to identify the location of the blockade however the solution is to go beneath the sink and dismantle the two pipes that are attached to one another. Before this make sure that the water is not turned on and also keep a bucket handy next to you under the sink. Place the bucket directly under the pipe at the bottom of the sink. When you open the pipe you will find some residual water stuck in the pipe and this will flow out and mess your kitchen up, that is why you need a bucket to hold the water from the pipe. You have to look inside the pipe to see if there is any blockade and scrape it out yourself.

As a future measure never drain solid in your sink and always use the garbage disposal for solids and food items. The sink should be used only to wash hands and dispose liquids.
