Blocked Bathroom Sink Unblocking in Portland, ME

Bathroom sinks block with hair, toothpaste and soap mixed with hard water minerals. We clean the pop-up stopper and P-trap first, which frequently solves the problem. If the blockage is in the wall, we run a small cable into the branch. Old or corroded traps can be replaced while we are there. We finish by testing the sink and checking for leaks.

If multiple drains are blocked or water comes up in the tub when you flush, the blockage is likely in the main line. We find the cleanout and run a heavy cable with a cutting head toward the street. Roots, wipes and grease are the most common causes. Once flow is restored, a camera inspection can show what is going on in the pipe. We recommend next steps based on what we see.
