Professional sink drain cleaning services
Keep your home’s kitchen and bathroom sinks draining properly
Sinks are found throughout the home, with the most common being bathroom sink drains and kitchen sink drains. Sink drains clog often because of the likelihood of debris washing down them, along with the simple fact that they are the drainage pipes households use the most.
Don’t wait for a minor clog to become an emergency—we can help you unclog your sink today and eliminate that foul odor or slow drain.
Common sink drainage problems homeowners face
Homeowners frequently encounter sink drain problems that disrupt daily routines and cause unnecessary stress. These issues typically include:
- Food particles and food residue building up in kitchen sink drains, especially around garbage disposals
- Soap scum and mineral deposits coating the inside of drain pipes in stainless steel sinks
- Hair clogs and soap residue combining to form tough clogs in bathroom sink drains
- Organic matter decomposing in drain lines causing unpleasant odors throughout your home
- Backups cause water damage to cabinets and flooring
Without regular cleaning and proper maintenance, these issues can quickly escalate from a minor drain clog to a major plumbing system emergency.
How we unclog your sink
Each of our technicians are equipped with an array of commercial grade electric snake machines. These machines use a metal cable to enter the drain pipe and break through the clog, scraping the pipe clean. The motor spins the cable as it pushes forward, allowing it to build torque, which helps break through tough clogs.
For your sink, the technician who arrives at your house will likely use a medium sized machine specifically suited to a sink drain, which uses a small enough cable to flex through tight plumbing on a sink line, but large enough to maintain the torque to break through even the toughest clogs.
If snaking the drain lines uncovers any problems, we may perform a video inspection to get a closer look inside your drain pipes and plumbing system.

Tips for preventing sink clogs
- Do not pour food grease down the kitchen sink drain. Allow it to cool and then dispose in the trash to prevent drain clogs.
- Let your garbage disposal and water run for an additional 45 seconds after grinding food to ensure food particles have made it out of your drain lines.
- Use drain strainers in bathroom and kitchen sinks to catch debris before it enters the drain pipe.
- Avoid disposing of coffee grounds, eggshells, and fibrous vegetables down the kitchen sink drain.
- Flush sinks regularly with hot water to help dissolve built-up soap scum and prevent foul odor from developing.
- Consider using dish soap and hot water instead of harsh chemicals that can damage your plumbing system and cause chemical reactions with organic matter in pipes.
