While a professional opinion is never a bad thing, not wanting to call a plumber for every little issue is understandable. Your plumbing is a big part of how comfortable your home feels. Small problems like leaky faucets and clogged drains can turn into big headaches if left unchecked. Don’t let a stopped sink stop you. There are many small problems you may be able to fix without hiring a pro!

You’ll want to put a pan underneath it to catch the water that will spill out.
