Sink Repair in New City, NY
Slow drains, leaks under the cabinet, and clogged kitchen or bathroom sinks — diagnosed and fixed, not just pushed further down the line.
Kitchen and bathroom sinks fail differently, and the fix depends on which one it is. Kitchen sink problems are usually grease and food debris built up in the trap or branch drain line. Bathroom sink problems are usually hair and soap scum caught in the pop-up stopper assembly or the trap just below it. Either way, a repeat clog after using a store-bought drain cleaner is a sign the blockage needs to be physically cleared, not dissolved.
Signs You Need Sink Repair
- Water drains slowly or pools before going down
- Dripping or pooling water under the cabinet
- Gurgling sounds when the sink or nearby fixtures drain
- Bad odor coming from the drain
- Repeat clogs despite regular use of drain cleaner
What Drives the Repair Cost
Whether it's a simple trap tightening or reseal versus a full clog clearing with a hand auger, and whether the blockage is close to the drain or further down the branch line. A disposal-related leak or a corroded shutoff valve adds a bit more to the job.
How We Diagnose a Sink Problem
- Check under the cabinet — trap connections, supply lines and disposal seal checked for moisture.
- Test the drain — run water to see exactly where it slows or backs up.
- Clear the blockage — hand auger used to physically remove buildup rather than just pushing it further in.
- Fix and test — connections resealed or tightened, then run again to confirm it drains clean.

Sink Repair FAQs
Why is my kitchen sink draining slowly even after I use a plunger?
A plunger only clears blockages close to the drain opening. Grease and food buildup further down the trap or branch line needs to be cleared mechanically — usually with a hand auger — rather than pushed further into the line.
There's a leak under my sink — is that always the P-trap?
It's the most common cause, especially if the trap is plastic and has been over-tightened or knocked loose at some point, but supply line fittings and the garbage disposal seal are common culprits too. We check all three before assuming.
My bathroom sink drains slowly but the kitchen sink is fine — why?
Bathroom sink clogs are almost always hair and soap scum built up in the trap or the pop-up stopper assembly, which is a different problem and a different fix than a kitchen sink's grease buildup.
Can a sink repair damage the cabinet or countertop?
Not when it's done carefully — we work from underneath and don't need to disturb the countertop for the vast majority of sink repairs. If something more invasive is genuinely needed, you'll know before we start.
