Sink Drains Slowly? What It Means and How to Fix It for Good

The usual suspects

Kitchen sinks slow down from grease and food; bathroom sinks from hair and soap scum; tubs from hair and body oils. If every drain in the house is slow, the problem is in the main line, not the fixture.

Skip the chemical drain cleaners

Chemical cleaners corrode older pipes, rarely clear the whole clog, and make the job dangerous for the plumber who comes next. A plunger or a drain snake is safer for a simple clog.

Professional drain cleaning

Our drain cleaning plumbers use motorized cables to cut through the blockage, and hydro jetting to scour the pipe walls clean so the clog does not return.

Recurring slow drains

If the same drain slows down every few months, there is likely a belly, root intrusion or scale buildup in the line. A camera inspection shows exactly what is going on before we recommend clogged drain repair.
