Clogged Sink Repair in Gaithersburg, MD & Washington, DC. James A. Wheat & Sons, Inc

Clear Drains, Restored Convenience

A clogged sink can bring your kitchen or bathroom to a standstill. Food debris, soap residue, grease, hair, and even foreign objects can obstruct your drain and prevent proper water flow. At James A. Wheat & Sons, Inc., we specialize in diagnosing and repairing clogged sinks using effective techniques that preserve the integrity of your plumbing system.

Common signs of a clogged sink include:

  • Water draining slowly or pooling in the basin
  • Gurgling sounds from the drain
  • Foul or musty odors coming from the sink
  • Water backing up into the sink or onto the floor
  • Frequent clogs that return even after using a plunger or store-bought cleaner

If you’ve tried DIY fixes with no success, or want to avoid the risk of damaging your pipes, it’s time to bring in a professional.

  4. Drain inspection: We confirm the pipe is clear and check for damage or signs of future issues.
  5. Clean-up and testing: We ensure your sink drains freely and leave your space clean and functional.

What Clogged Sink Repair Often Includes

During a typical clogged sink service, our team may perform:

  • Removal of food, grease, hair, or debris from sink drains
  • Use of drain snakes or augers to dislodge tough clogs
  • Hydro-jetting to flush out stubborn buildup (when appropriate)
  • Inspection of the P-trap and drain line for deeper obstructions
  • Replacement of damaged or leaking drain components
  • Safe disposal of removed material
  • Testing to verify proper drainage and flow

We tailor our approach based on your sink’s location, the material of your pipes, and the severity of the clog.

Frequently Asked Questions About Clogged Sink Repair

Can I fix a clogged sink myself? While minor clogs can sometimes be cleared with a plunger or boiling water, recurring or severe blockages usually require professional tools and techniques. Over-the-counter chemical drain cleaners can damage your pipes and often don’t fix the underlying issue.

How do I prevent future sink clogs? Avoid putting grease, food scraps, hair, and other debris down your drains. Use sink strainers, clean your P-trap occasionally, and schedule preventive drain cleaning as needed.

What’s the difference between a slow drain and a full clog? A slow drain usually means buildup is starting to restrict water flow. A full clog means water no longer drains at all. Both require attention before they lead to larger issues.

Do you offer same-day clogged sink repair in Gaithersburg or DC? Yes, we offer prompt scheduling and may be able to provide same-day service, depending on availability and urgency.
