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.

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

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.
