Troubleshooting
Plunger is not creating a good seal.
Ensure the plunger cup is completely covering the drain opening and is wet for better adhesion. Add more water to the sink or tub to help with the seal.
Plunger isn't clearing the blockage.
Try plunging more vigorously for a longer period. If it still doesn't work, there may be a more significant blockage or an item stuck in the pipes, consider calling a professional.
Water is not draining after plunging.
Repeat the plunging action several times, or try using a different method like a drain snake. Ensure there is enough water in the sink/tub to create suction.
