A bathroom sink that drains slowly is usually a simple buildup of hair and soap. Here is how Yonkers homeowners can clear it.
The usual buildup
Hair wraps around the stopper and soap coats the pipe walls, forming a plug just below the drain. It starts as a slow drain and eventually stops entirely.
Clean the stopper
Remove the pop-up stopper — many lift out or unscrew — and pull out the hair wrapped around it. This alone fixes a surprising number of slow bathroom sinks.
Clear the trap
Place a bucket under the sink, remove the P-trap, and rinse it out. It is a straightforward job that gets the gunk the stopper missed.
When it is deeper
