Whether it’s in your kitchen or your bathroom, a clogged sink is never convenient. Even if you’re careful about what you put down your drain, sometimes blockages are inevitable. In this blog, the plumbing experts at Martens Plumbing & Heating offer some quick tips that will help fix a clogged sink.
