Can Urine Block a Sink in South Tyneside?

Urine can indeed block a sink, and it's more common than you think. When urine dries, it leaves behind uric acid crystals that can bond with other substances in your drain, such as grease, hair, and soap scum, to form a stubborn blockage. If you're experiencing slow draining or a complete blockage in your sink, it's possible that urine is the culprit.

How Does Urine Block a Sink?

Urine contains uric acid, which is a naturally occurring compound that can crystallize when it dries. When these crystals bond with other substances in your drain, they can form a hard, insoluble mass that can block the flow of water. This is especially true in sinks with a history of poor maintenance or those that haven't been regularly cleaned. If you notice your sink is draining slowly or not at all, it's essential to act quickly to prevent further damage.

Signs of a Urine-Blocked Sink

If you suspect that urine has blocked your sink, look out for these common signs:

  • Slow draining or a complete blockage
  • Unpleasant odours emanating from the sink
  • Visible signs of mineral deposits or staining around the drain
  • Gurgling or bubbling sounds when you run the tap
