A clogged bathroom sink can quickly disrupt your daily routine and lead to slow drainage, standing water, and unpleasant odours. John The Plumber Ottawa provides fast, professional clogged bathroom sink services to clear blockages safely and restore proper drainage.
Whether your sink is draining slowly, backing up completely, or emitting foul smells, our licensed plumbers can diagnose the cause and remove the clog without damaging your plumbing. We service bathroom sinks in Ottawa homes, condos, apartments, and commercial properties.
If your clog is part of a larger drainage issue, we also provide complete drain cleaning services and advanced diagnostics such as camera inspection for plumbing. For urgent backups, our team is available through 24-hour emergency plumbing services.
Bathroom sink clogs usually develop gradually and can worsen if not addressed early. John The Plumber Ottawa regularly clears blockages caused by:
Hair & Soap Buildup:
Hair combined with soap residue is the most common cause of bathroom sink clogs. Over time, it restricts water flow and leads to slow draining.
Toothpaste & Product Residue:
Toothpaste, shaving cream, and cosmetics can harden inside pipes, creating stubborn blockages.
Foreign Objects:
Items such as jewelry, cotton swabs, floss, and small debris can become lodged in the drain.
Pipe Scaling & Aging Plumbing:
Older Ottawa homes may have pipe corrosion or mineral buildup that narrows the drain line.
Vent or Drain Issues:
Improper venting or deeper drain problems can cause repeated sink backups. In these cases, drain service or plumbing vent inspections may be required.
When you call John The Plumber Ottawa, you can expect a clear, professional approach focused on long-term results.
1. Inspection & Diagnosis
We inspect the sink, trap, drain line, and surrounding plumbing to determine the exact cause of the clog.
2. Safe Clog Removal
Depending on the severity, we remove the blockage using professional tools — never harsh chemicals that can damage pipes.
3. Drain Flow Testing
We test water flow to ensure the clog is fully cleared and drainage is restored.
4. Deeper Drain Solutions (If Needed)
If the blockage extends beyond the bathroom sink, we may recommend drain cleaning, hydro jetting, or further inspection.
5. Cleanup & Prevention Advice
We leave the area clean and provide guidance to help prevent future clogs.
