blocked drain

tritriagain · 2013-04-21 11:59:29

My 8 yr old daughter dropped something down the sink and it now drains really slowly. I have checked the trap and its clear. She thinks it was a plastic bottle cap. Do I need a plumber or is it easy to fix. Thanks in advance.

Have you taken the Trap out completely to make sure it's clear. The Trap is the most likely place for it to get stuck. If so take the Trap to the Bathroom and see does the Water flow through it fully. After that you might be lucky with a Coat Hanger to dislodge it from the Gully outside the Kitchen.
