We use sinks day in day out. We shave, brush teeth and wash our hands in bathroom sinks while we use kitchen sinks for food preparation and clean-up. The regular and hard use of this plumbing fixture leads to an array of sink problems including:

Common Sink Problems

Clogged Sinks
Stopped sinks are probably the most common residential plumbing problem.Cooking grease and fat, soap scum and food particles buildup in sink drainpipes and prevent spent water from draining out. Use a sink plunger to clear the blockage. Fill the sink with enough water to cover the cup of the plunger and create a vacuum seal that will hopefully break down the obstruction. Move the plunger up and down until water is drained out. Major clogs will not yield to the plunger for their much deeper location inside the drainpipe. Sometimes a clogged sink may require a new sink trap installation or repairs. Persistent sink clogs require professional repair by the plumber.

Sink Odors
Kitchen sinks can give off terrible odors due to bacteria buildup inside the drain. Pour a cup of bleach down the drain. Wait 20 minutes before flushing the drain with cold water. Overtime the sink's stopper can wear out and also emit offensive odors. Replace old stoppers with new units to prevent unpleasant odors in your kitchen.

Stagnant Water
Stagnant water can collect in the sink not only because of a clogged drain but also due to the wrong alignment of your sink. Improper sink installation will prevent water from draining out of the sink. Best left to service professionals, wrong sink alignment can be corrected by unscrewing the sink, re-positioning it and installing the unit back to the wall.
