Sink draining slowly: causes and professional solutions
Drain4 min readDecember 2024
Why sinks drain slowly
A slow-draining sink is often the first sign of a developing blockage. Addressing it early can prevent complete clogs and more expensive repairs.
Common causes
- Grease buildup: Kitchen sinks often suffer from accumulated cooking oils
- Hair and soap scum: Bathroom sinks collect hair and personal care products
- Food particles: Even with a garbage disposal, small particles can accumulate
- Mineral deposits: Hard water can create scale buildup in pipes
- Foreign objects: Small items accidentally dropped down the drain
