You've poured a gallon of drain cleaner down the sink. You've tried a pot of boiling water, which was pretty tricky. You've done the old baking soda and vinegar routine. You've even gotten the plunger from the bathroom and gone to work on your kitchen sink drain. And yet the stagnant pool of water still refuses to recede. It's time to call a plumber. 

A plumber visit doesn't have to be expensive or time-consuming, especially when it concerns a sink issue (either in your bathroom or your kitchen). In fact, one sure way to tell just how reputable and professional your plumber is has to do with drain clogs: if he immediately starts talking about replacing the pipes, he may not have your best interests at heart. Most sink clogs can be taken care of with a good snaking, but in this case the professional knows best: the snakes we use are more modern than the good old fashioned metal one you might have hanging around. Two words: water jets! 

Of course, sink problems don't necessarily end there. Soap can corrode even the best pipe over time, leading to leaks and water collecting in your walls. If you have a sink trap which extends to the roof, you shouldn't try and clean it out yourself unless you regularly spend a lot of time up there. Your garbage disposal, if you have one, needs to be cleaned and inspected regularly as it interacts with your kitchen sink on a daily basis. And while losing a piece of jewelry down the drain might make you think you're in a sitcom. you'll soon find it's no laughing matter, especially if it's down deep in the p-trap. And speaking if which, that little curved pipe under your sink does more than move water out of your home -- it's designed to keep noxious and deadly sewer gases out of your family's noses, so a problem there can be much worse than a simple clog. We're always ready to help you wash that food, hair, soap and other unmentionables out of your bathroom and kitchen!
