Every Sink Clog Has a Different Cause

Not every clogged sink should be treated the same. Kitchen sinks often become blocked by grease and food debris, bathroom sinks usually collect hair and soap residue, while laundry sinks commonly clog with lint and sediment. John The Plumber provides professional drain cleaning for every type of sink throughout York.

Marcus did a great job fixing our guest bathroom sink. Was not draining and the plunge stopper was rusted and broken. He fixed the drainage issues and replaced the stopper assembly. Clean, courteous, polite and prompt. Will use again.

*Posting this review on behalf of my father, John, who had work completed about two weeks ago* I had a fantastic experience with John the Plumber, specifically with Michael. He was patient, professional, clean, knowledgeable, and honest throughout the entire process. He took the time to explain everything, completed the repair quickly and thoroughly, and made sure everything was done properly. The estimate provided was exactly on the money, which was greatly appreciated. It’s clear that Michael takes pride in his work and genuinely cares about providing great service. I have recommended John the Plumber & Michael to my friends and family!

Marcus did a fine job. Had our drain unplugged in no time. Recommended we buy our own faucets and they’ll come back to install.

Frequently Asked Questions About Clogged Sinks

Kitchen, Bathroom & Laundry

Not Sure What Is Blocking Your Sink?

Our licensed plumbers can determine whether the problem is located beneath the sink or farther along the drain line, then recommend the right cleaning method.

Call (416) 304-6851
What are the most common causes of a clogged sink?

The cause often depends on the type of sink. Kitchen sinks commonly clog with grease, food debris and soap residue. Bathroom sinks often collect hair, toothpaste and grooming products, while laundry sinks may become blocked by lint, dirt, pet hair and detergent buildup.

Why is my sink draining slowly?

A slow-draining sink usually indicates that a partial blockage is forming inside the P-trap or drain line. Water may still pass through, but the opening becomes smaller as debris continues to accumulate.

Why is my sink completely backed up?

A completely backed-up sink usually means the drain opening has become fully blocked. The obstruction may be directly beneath the sink or deeper inside the branch drain, especially if the sink had been draining slowly beforehand.

Why does my sink keep clogging?

Recurring clogs may mean that the original blockage was only partially cleared. They can also be caused by buildup farther down the pipe, damaged drainage components, improper pipe slope or a larger issue within the plumbing system.

Why does one sink back up when another fixture is used?

When a sink backs up as another fixture drains, the blockage may be located in a shared branch line rather than directly beneath the sink. This can happen with double kitchen sinks, nearby bathroom fixtures or laundry sinks connected to a washing machine.

Why is there a bad smell coming from my sink drain?

Odours can develop when food debris, hair, soap residue, lint or other organic material becomes trapped inside the drain. Persistent sewer-like smells may also indicate a dry P-trap, drainage problem or plumbing vent issue.

Can a clogged sink indicate a larger drain problem?

Yes. If several sinks or fixtures are draining slowly, gurgling or backing up at the same time, the blockage may be located deeper in a shared drain or sewer line rather than in one individual sink.

How do plumbers clear clogged sink drains?

The plumber will first determine where the blockage is located. Depending on the cause and condition of the drain, professional drain cleaning equipment may be used to remove grease, hair, soap residue, lint and other compacted debris.

Can a clogged sink cause a leak?

A clog can place additional pressure on drain connections and may expose loose fittings, damaged seals or corrosion beneath the sink. Standing water can also leak from the sink rim or overflow if the fixture continues to be used while blocked.

When should I call a plumber for a clogged sink?

Call a plumber if the sink stops draining, repeatedly clogs, produces persistent odours, leaks beneath the cabinet or backs up when another fixture is used. Multiple slow or blocked drains should also be professionally inspected.
