Why does my kitchen sink drain slowly even after I clean the P-trap?
If clearing the P-trap doesn’t resolve the issue, the blockage is likely further down the drain line — past the point where the sink connects to the larger drain stack. This type of clog typically requires a drain snake or hydro-jetting service to clear effectively.

Is a slow bathroom sink drain a big deal?
A slow bathroom drain is usually caused by hair and soap buildup in the upper part of the drain. While it often starts as a minor inconvenience, it can worsen quickly and lead to standing water. It’s worth addressing before it becomes a full blockage.

My sink has low water pressure but the rest of the house seems fine. What’s causing it?
The most common cause is a clogged faucet aerator — the small mesh screen at the end of the faucet spout. Unscrew the aerator and rinse it with vinegar to dissolve mineral buildup. If that doesn’t help, a partially closed shutoff valve or a deteriorating faucet cartridge may be the culprit.

Can you install a new kitchen sink in an existing countertop?
Yes. Sink replacements in existing countertops are a routine part of our work. The main considerations are the sink cutout dimensions, the type of mounting (drop-in vs. undermount), and whether your existing faucet connections are compatible with the new sink. We’ll assess everything before and during installation.

What causes that sewage smell coming from my bathroom sink?
A sewage odor from a drain is often caused by a dry P-trap (the curved pipe under the sink that holds water to block sewer gases). If the sink isn’t used regularly, the water in the P-trap evaporates. Running the water for 30 seconds usually resolves it. If the smell persists, there may be a venting issue or a cracked drain fitting.

How do I prevent garbage disposal drain clogs?
Run cold water before, during, and for 15–20 seconds after using the disposal. Avoid putting fibrous foods (celery, artichokes), starchy foods (potato peels, pasta), grease, or large amounts of food at once down the disposal. Grinding a handful of ice cubes occasionally helps clean the blades and reduce buildup.
