Slow Draining Sink

Almost always a partial clog from hair, soap scum, grease, or food debris in the drain, P-trap, or branch line. Simple DIY fix, under 30 minutes.

Sink Drain Odor

Foul smell from the drain? Bacterial biofilm in the pipe, dried-out P-trap letting sewer gas through, or food debris in the disposal or overflow. Most drain odors fixed in under 30 minutes with household items.

Chipped or Cracked Sink

Chips and cracks in porcelain, enamel, fireclay, composite, and acrylic sinks range from cosmetic to structural. Small chips fix with a touch-up kit. Larger cracks may need refinishing or replacement.
