			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Step 1:</strong></p>
<p>This is your clogged kitchen sink.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.tipadviser.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/tut8_a.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1091" title="tut8_a" src="http://www.tipadviser.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/tut8_a.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="250" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong></p>
<p>Try using a plunger on the kitchen sink. Push and pull with the vaccum of the plunger</p>
<p><a href="http://www.tipadviser.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/tut8_b.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1092" title="tut8_b" src="http://www.tipadviser.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/tut8_b.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="250" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong></p>
<p>If that does not work, you can clean the water trap below the sink. There are two popular types of traps &#8211; Tubular Traps and Bottle Traps.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.tipadviser.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/tut8_c.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1093" title="tut8_c" src="http://www.tipadviser.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/tut8_c.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="250" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong></p>
<p>Using a monkey-wrench open the traps at marked positions.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.tipadviser.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/tut8_d.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1094" title="tut8_d" src="http://www.tipadviser.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/tut8_d.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="250" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong></p>
<p>Now the parts can be removed, locked water will fall from the pipe.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.tipadviser.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/tut8_e.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1095" title="tut8_e" src="http://www.tipadviser.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/tut8_e.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="250" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Step 6:</strong></p>
<p>Clean any blockage in the pipe using a wire. Screw back when done.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Before calling out a plumber to unclog a blocked sink, you may wish to try and solve the problem yourself. One method to use is to use a plunger by pressing it up and down with enough force and sustained pressure to unclog it. If this does not work, then it might appear the block is too rigid and may requyire the services of a professional plumber.</p>
<p><strong>Step 1</strong></p>
<p>Place the mouth of the plunger over the drain.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.tipadviser.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/tut2_01.png"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-963" title="tut2_01" src="http://www.tipadviser.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/tut2_01.png" alt="" width="266" height="270" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Step 2</strong></p>
<p>Formly press the handle of the plunger down towards the drain and then release the pressure.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.tipadviser.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/tut2_02.png"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-964" title="tut2_02" src="http://www.tipadviser.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/tut2_02.png" alt="" width="266" height="271" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Step 3</strong></p>
<p>Continue pressing the plunger up and down until the water level in the sink begins to decrease.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.tipadviser.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/tut2_03.png"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-965" title="tut2_03" src="http://www.tipadviser.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/tut2_03.png" alt="" width="266" height="270" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Step 4</strong></p>
<p>Once all the water has drained out of the sink the clog has been removed.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.tipadviser.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/tut2_04.png"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-966" title="tut2_04" src="http://www.tipadviser.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/tut2_04.png" alt="" width="266" height="270" /></a></p>
