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:

  • Gurgling sounds from sinks or tubs

  • Water backing up in the kitchen, bathroom, or laundry area

  • Slow drainage or standing water

  • Bad sewer odors coming from drains

  • Leaks or moisture under cabinets or behind walls

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.

Yes — really. We’re available nights, weekends, and holidays for urgent drain issues across San Diego. When your kitchen floods at midnight or your tenants call about a backed-up shower on a Sunday, we’re already on it.

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.

Absolutely. We specialize in navigating San Diego’s unique plumbing setups, from 1920s-era cast iron to tight apartment stacks. We’ve worked in bungalows, high-rises, and everything in between.

Yes, we work with apartment managers, retail businesses, restaurants, and more. We understand the urgency and complexity of commercial plumbing systems, and we get the job done without disrupting your operations.

It depends on the issue, but we always provide transparent pricing upfront, no surprises. 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.
