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

Prevention tips
