Hi, pkmurphy38!
 
What do you mean by your sink is blocked, please?  It would be helpful to have a little more specific information here so that those who do come along to address your question can help you the best.
 
Thanks!

Let's see if I can help.  As a rule sink clogs will be found in the horzizontal drain line in the wall. To best clear this you must remove the "J" bend from the trap nand sen a snake up into the wall, (see image).  You will hit a bend about 8 inches in but once around that you will only have to put out 6 more feet of snake.  Reassemble the trap and flush with a sink full of hot water.  Good luck,  Tom
