What to do when you have a clogged sink

If you have a clogged sink, do not pour any kind of liquid drain cleaner down the drain. This can corrode your pipes and create even more clogs.

Instead, try using a plunger to dislodge the clog. Splash some water in the sink and place the plunger over the drain. Push and pull the plunger up and down to create suction and break through the clog. If you still can't clear the clog, it's time to call a professional plumber. They will have the tools and expertise to get your sink draining properly in no time.

In the meantime, there are a few things you can do to avoid clogged drains in the future. First, invest in a good drain strainer or hair catcher. This will help to catch any debris before it has a chance to clog your drain. Second, be careful what you flush down the drain. Avoid flushing anything other than toilet paper and human waste. Grease, oils, and food particles can all cause clogs.

If you are noticing any of the following signs, it may mean that your drain is clogged:

  • water is not draining properly from the sink, shower, or tub

  • slow drainage or drainage that occurs only at certain times of the day

  • water pools around the drain

  • gurgling or bubbling sounds coming from the drain

  • bad odors emanating from the drain


The best way to avoid plumbing issues in the future


Prevention is always the best cure, and this is especially true when it comes to plumbing. There are a few things you can do to help prevent clogged drains in the future:

  • use a drain strainer or hair catcher to catch debris before it clogs the drain

  • avoid flushing anything other than toilet paper and human waste down the drain

  • be careful what you put down the garbage disposal

  • never pour grease or oils down the drain, as they can clog it up very quickly

Kyle, was great! 800-PLUMBER called to say when he would arrive, and he was right on time. He even completed another job that wasn't planned on my end while he was there. I would recommend 800-Plumber to any of my family or friends. Laura Clear Lake

Emanuel Reyes did a very thorough job and was very courteous.

Charles M.

I had Kyle U as my plumbing tech. He did a great job and worked really hard to get to the bottom of things (like roots). He was also polite and honest.

Linda D.

Kyle came when he said he would. He stayed in touch through out the day. Was very quick and efficient. If you need a plumber call Kyle.

Ashley C.

"They were very professional and on time, the technician did what he was suppose to do then cleaned up and left me with instructions on how to finish installing the parts after I finish doing some tile work that needs to be done."

Andrei G.

Great job! Very professional and friendly! Thank you for coming out on short notice!

A.S.

Detailed orientated and honest inspection. Chad took his time and explained everything that was going on very well. The service fee was fair for the small issues he fixed, and he was able to make a referral for water restoration for us, I would use his service again and plan to when our water heater goes out.

Katie D.

My daughter Natalie Permenter actually ordered the service. I'm at her house during the day to keep my grandson. I was very impressed by Emanuel, the plumber that cam. He was very professional and seemed to really care about his clients. Natalie tells me the lady in the office also showed professionalism and a genuine desire to help. Emanuel was disappointed that he couldn't get the job done on day one; but promised to come back the next day. True to his word he was here bright and early. I am so impressed to finally find a company that really cares about the consumer; not just the dollar.

Judi W.

I really appreciated Manolos attitude and the way he had patience for all of my questions and never seemed like he was rushing or annoyed with me. He took the time to reexplain it to my husband when he got home. I didn't feel pressured into spending more money or like he was trying to just sell me stuff. I felt like he really took his time and that I was his priority. Thank you for having great service.
