We Specialize in Getting Your Sink Drain Working Like New Again

A clogged drain, particularly a clogged sink drain, is a real nuisance, especially when it causes a backup of standing water that leaves your kitchen or bathroom sink unusable. But with our sink drain clog removal service, you can breathe a sigh of relief. We know just how frustrating it can be to deal with slow-draining sinks, and that's why we're dedicated to providing efficient, gentle solutions to clear minor sink blockages. Our team of experts uses non-invasive, practical tools and techniques to get the job done right the first time.

Clogged bathroom sink drains are often caused by hair and soap scum buildup, while kitchen sink drains are usually clogged with congealed grease and food particles. But whatever the cause, you can be sure that neglecting the clog can lead to severe damage to your plumbing system if you keep on using harsh chemicals. Our approach is all about using safe, targeted techniques, like our snake sink drain method and hands-on P-trap clog removal by professional plumbers to ensure that the blockage is completely removed - and gone for good.

We have a solution for unclogging sinks and your slow-draining sink woes, ensuring your sink drain runs freely in no time. Unlike store-bought drain cleaners, which can damage your pipes, we use mechanical methods such as hand-auger drain service and manual trap cleaning to remove the clog physically. We'll also give you the lowdown on regular maintenance and DIY solutions, like using baking soda and vinegar, to keep those pesky clogs at bay and save you the cost of an emergency plumbing call.

What Sets Our Sink Drain Clog Removal Service Apart

Our Sink Drain Clog Removal Service offers distinct benefits that give you the peace of mind you're looking for, knowing we can clear clogs efficiently.

We Use Safety-First Clog Removal Techniques

We've got the specialized tools and techniques to clear clogs without damaging your drain pipes, which can be a real risk when using corrosive chemical drain cleaners.

  1. Plunging The Sink - Sometimes It's Simple: If you've got a relatively new clog, the first step is often to give the sink a good plunging. We use a plunger to create suction on the sink drain hole - and make sure to seal it properly so we get a good grip on the clog. If it's a double sink, we use a wet rag to block off the other drains to help us get the water pressure just right. And yes, we do give it a good, vigorous plunge to see if we can dislodge the blockage and flush it down the pipe.

  2. The Hand Auger Drain Service - For Hairballs and Such: When we've got a hair clog deep in the pipe, we bring in the big guns - our trusty hand auger drain service. We carefully feed the snake down the drain until we feel resistance at the clog, and then we twist it to hook the debris and gently pull it back out. This is one of the most effective methods we have for unclogging bathroom sinks.

  3. Baking Soda and Vinegar: For Lighter Clogs: And then there's good old baking soda and vinegar. It's a non-toxic, non-damaging way to clear a light clog. We pour a cup of baking soda down the drain, followed by a cup of vinegar. The mixture foams and helps break down that grease and soap scum. After an hour, we give the drain a good flush with boiling water - and that's it. No chemicals. No damage.

We use methods that work and are safe for your pipes, avoiding harsh drain cleaners that can cause damage.

P-Trap Clog Removal and Trap Cleaning - A Common Solution

The P-trap, that curved bit of pipe under the sink, is where clogs tend to form. And we have a solution for that, too, particularly when dealing with a clogged sink that needs immediate attention.

  • Getting To The Root of the Problem: We start by placing a bucket under the P-trap to catch any water that comes out. Then we loosen the nuts connecting the P-trap to the sink tailpiece and the wall drain pipe, and carefully remove the P-trap so we can drain the trapped water into the bucket. We wear gloves for this bit, just in case.

  • Scraping out the Debris: Once the P trap is out, we manually clear out the hair from the drain and scrape out any grease, soap scum, and food particles from the inside of the P trap and the connecting pipes. It's a bit of a messy job, but straightforward.

  • Putting Everything Back Together Again: After we've removed all the debris, we reinstall the cleaned P-trap, making sure the connections are tight to prevent leaks. And then we turn the tap on and run some hot water through the sink to test the drain. This manual trap cleaning service is one of the fastest ways to get your sink up and running again.

We take the time to do it right, every time.

Keeping Clogs at Bay

Routine Maintenance and DIY Tips

We want to help you keep those clogs away and save you the cost of an emergency plumbing call. So we give you the lowdown on regular maintenance and DIY solutions.

  1. Boiling Water - A Simple Preventative Measure: We recommend pouring boiling water down the drain at least once a week to help melt any grease and loosen any soap scum. It's a simple thing to do, but it can make a big difference in keeping your pipes clear. Just be careful not to splash the water.

  2. Keeping Your Drains in Working Order with Baking Soda Maintenance: As a regular preventative measure, pour a half cup of baking soda down the drain, followed by a decent amount of hot water. This will help keep your pipe walls nice and clean. We always recommend the trusty combo of baking soda and vinegar as the go-to DIY drain cleaner.

  3. Tackling Drain Clogs: If you're plagued by clogged bathroom sinks and small drains that seem to get gummed up with hair all the time, we reckon installing a drain catcher or strainer could be just what you need to catch debris before it slips down the drain. You can usually find these at most hardware stores - we've got some pointers if you need to know where to look.

Regular use of hot water and baking soda is pretty much the key to keeping your drains from getting clogged and preventing standing water from accumulating in your plumbing system.

Here's How We Do It

We've got a tried-and-true process that delivers top-notch unclogging results every time.

  1. Diagnosis and Plunge: First things first, we need to confirm that your sink drain is indeed clogged. We break out the plunger, give it a good go, and if it doesn't work, we try again.

  2. Getting to the P-Trap: If we need to dig deeper, we turn off the dishwasher (if applicable) and put a bucket under the P-trap. We loosen the nuts and carefully remove the P-trap to see what's causing the blockage.

  3. Snaking the Drain (If Needed): If the blockage is further down the line, we bring in the trusty drain snake to do the job. We snake the drain, twist and pull the snake back out, and voila!

  4. Flushing and Maintenance: Once the clog is cleared, we flush the pipe with hot water and a mixture of baking soda and vinegar. Then we sit down with you and go over some regular maintenance tips.
