Kitchen Sink Drain Repair
Your kitchen sink handles grease, food debris, and dish soap daily — and over time, buildup or corrosion can slow down drainage or cause leaks.
Our Kitchen Drain Repair Services Include:
Clearing food and grease blockages without damaging pipes
Replacing rusted or leaking sink drain traps (P-traps)
Repairing corroded or cracked kitchen drain pipes
Resealing sink strainers, basket drains, and waste arms
Hydro-jetting for deep clogs and complete system cleaning
If you notice slow-draining water, foul odors, or water pooling under your sink, it’s time for a professional kitchen drain repair. Our licensed plumbers can restore your drainage system quickly and prevent future clogs.
Bathroom Sink Drain Repair
Your bathroom sink drain handles hair, toothpaste, and soap scum every day — making it prone to frequent clogs and buildup.
Our Bathroom Drain Repair Services Include:
Removing hair and soap buildup without harsh chemicals
Replacing leaking or corroded P-traps
Fixing or upgrading old drain stoppers and assemblies
Repairing cracked or leaky drain lines in vanities or walls
If your bathroom sink drains slowly, gurgles, or smells bad, we’ll locate the problem and make a lasting repair. We also check vent lines and secondary drains to ensure your system flows smoothly.
Laundry Drain Line Repair
Laundry drains carry a mix of lint, soap, and fabric residue — and they often clog faster than kitchen or bathroom sinks.
Our Laundry Drain Repair Services Include:
Clearing clogged laundry drains and standpipes
Repairing or replacing corroded or leaking drain lines
Cleaning and flushing lines connected to main sewer systems
Preventing future blockages with proper venting and slope adjustments
Laundry line clogs can cause flooding or backups into other drains, especially in older San Diego homes with cast-iron plumbing. We inspect and repair your drain system to keep water flowing safely and efficiently.
Common Signs You Need Drain Repair
Don’t ignore these warning signs that indicate your drains need professional repair:
Visible leaks under the sink: Drips, moisture, or puddles often indicate worn-out seals, loose fittings, or failing drain components.
Rusty or corroded drain pipes: Corrosion on metal pipes is a major sign the drain system is deteriorating and may soon fail.
Brown or discolored water around the drain area: This can signal rust buildup inside the drainpipe.
Weak or deteriorated pipe joints: Old metal piping can weaken over time, leading to leaks, cracks, or complete pipe failure.
Recurring clogs caused by internal corrosion: Rust flakes inside the pipe can restrict water flow and create repeated blockages.
Musty odors or mold growth: Persistent moisture from slow leaks often leads to mold around the cabinet or wall.
Water damage on surrounding surfaces: Stained cabinets, swelling wood, or peeling paint usually point to long-term leaks from old, rusty pipes.
If you’re seeing any of these symptoms, contact American Plumbing Co. today for same-day drain repair in San Diego.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How do I know if my drain problem is serious or just a minor clog?
If you’re dealing with slow drainage, bubbling water, foul smells, or recurring backups, it’s more than just a simple clog. These are often signs of deeper issues like blocked vents, tree root intrusion, or sewer line damage. We can inspect it and give you a straight answer, no guesswork.
2. Do you really offer 7 Day a week emergency drain service?
Yes — really. We’re available weekdays and weekends for urgent drain issues across San Diego. When your kitchen stops workling on the weekendt or your tenants call about a backed-up shower on a Sunday, we’re already on it.
3. Are chemical drain cleaners safe to use before I call a plumber?
We don’t recommend them — ever. Most chemical cleaners are highly corrosive, damage rubber washers, and only partially clear clogs. Worse, they can make professional repairs more dangerous. It’s always safer (and usually cheaper) to call a licensed plumber first.
4. Can you handle drain issues in older San Diego homes or apartments?
Absolutely. We specialize in navigating San Diego’s unique plumbing setups, from 1920s-era cast iron to apartments. We’ve worked in bungalows, high-rises, and everything in between.
5. Do you offer commercial apartment drain services too?
Yes, we work with apartment managers.. We understand the urgency and complexity of commercial apartemnt plumbing systems, and we get the job done without disrupting your operations.
6. How much does drain service typically cost?
It depends on the issue, but we always provide transparent pricing upfront. Simple clogs cost less than deep sewer line repairs, but in every case, we explain the situation and give you options. No pressure, no up-sell.
