A Slow Vanity Is Usually an Easy Fix

Bathroom sink drain cleaning Summerville homes need is usually quick: hair, toothpaste and soap packed around the stopper and into the trap of a vanity sink. We clean both, cable the branch line behind the wall and track down a sewer smell when a dry or loose trap is the cause.

Who does bathroom sink drain cleaning in Summerville without a big bill or a long wait? We do, for homeowners, renters and landlords. If other drains are slow too, say so on the call, and we plan one visit for all of them.

Bathroom Sink Drain Cleaning Service, Trap to Wall

A bathroom visit is small but thorough. Here is the checklist we run on every vanity.

• Pop up stopper cleaned: The stopper is pulled and scrubbed, since hair and paste collect on it first and cause most slow sinks.
• Trap cleaning or swap: We take apart the P trap, empty it and replace it if it is cracked or worn through.
• Small drain auger: A thin cable runs past the wall into the branch line, reaching what a plunger cannot.
• Vent check: When a sink gurgles, we trace the airflow that lets the pipe breathe, and tell you if the roof side needs a look.
• Smell check: We test the overflow hole and the trap seal, the two spots odor most often escapes from.

What Gums Up a Bathroom Sink Drain

Small habits add up in a vanity. These are the causes we find most often under local sinks.

• Hair and toothpaste: Together they form a sticky plug that grows a little every morning.
• Stoppers that catch everything: The stopper's lever and rod trap lint and hair right above the trap.
• Guest baths that dry out: A sink nobody uses empties its trap seal, and the smell comes up.
• Weak airflow in older homes: Poor air supply to the pipe makes sinks drain slowly and gulp.
• Low cost traps in fast built subdivisions: Thin builder fittings crack, sag or hold gunk.

How We Fix a Slow Bathroom Sink by Steps

Five moves handle most vanities.

• Check the stopper first: If lifting it out clears the slow flow, we are done in minutes.
• Pull and clean the trap: A bucket catches the water, and the gunk comes out where you can see it.
• Cable past the wall: Hair beyond the trap needs a thin cable run into the branch line.
• Flush and test: Water runs at full flow, and we watch how it drains.
• Smell and airflow check: We sniff for odor at the drain and look at the airflow if the sink was noisy.

Vanity Troubles We Handle Besides Slow Drains

Bathroom sinks fail in a few predictable ways.

• Slow vanity: Hair and toothpaste plug the trap or the branch line, and cleaning clears it.
• Double vanity, both sinks slow: The shared drain behind them is clogged, so we clear it past the point where both sinks meet.
• Odor rising from the drain: A dry trap or loose seal is the usual cause, and we refill or reseat it.
• A noisy sink: Air is being pulled through the water seal, which points to blocked airflow.
• Leaking slip joint after a DIY try: We tighten or replace the joint and test it under flow.

How We Protect Your Vanity While We Work

This is how we keep your cabinet clean.

• Cabinet floor covered: A mat goes down before the trap comes off.
• A catch pan under the trap: Water and gunk land in the pan, not in the cabinet.

Bathroom Sink Questions Answered Quickly

Quick answers to what people ask us about vanities. Ask us if yours is not here.

Why does my bathroom sink smell like sewer?

A sewer odor from a bathroom sink usually means a dry trap, gunk in the overflow or an airflow problem. Run water in unused sinks weekly. If the smell stays, the trap or roof side needs a look.

Why is my vanity draining so slowly?

Hair, toothpaste and soap build up on the stopper and in the trap. Cleaning the stopper fixes many sluggish vanities. If it does not, the clog is in the line behind the wall.

Can you clean all my drains in one visit?

Yes. If more than one drain is slow, we clear them together, which costs less than separate calls. Several slow drains at once can also mean a main line clog, and we check for that.
