A slow draining sink is often ignored because it doesn’t seem urgent. But in reality, it’s usually the first warning sign of a developing blockage.
What Causes Slow Drains?
Grease and food buildup
Kitchen sinks are especially prone to grease hardening inside pipes, narrowing the flow.
Hair and soap residue
Bathroom sinks and showers often clog slowly over time due to everyday use.
Partial blockages deeper in the system
Sometimes the issue isn’t in the sink itself, but further down the pipe.
Why You Shouldn’t Wait
A slow drain rarely fixes itself. It usually gets worse until the pipe is fully blocked, leading to backups and potential flooding.
Simple Warning Signs
- Water pooling in the sink
- Gurgling sounds
- Bad smells coming from the drain
LOUW BROS Can Clear It Fast
We don’t just temporarily clear the blockage — we remove it properly and inspect the system to prevent it coming back.
