Bathroom Sink Drain Cleaning in Las Vegas, NV
Everyday use sends hair, toothpaste, soap, shaving cream, and cosmetics down your bathroom sink. Over time, they stick to the inside of the drain and trap, forming a sticky mat that catches more hair until the sink is slow, gurgling, or completely clogged.

What our Clients think about us
Your satisfaction is our priority.
What Is Bathroom Sink Drain Cleaning (Hair & Soap Buildup)?
This service focuses on removing the hair, soap, and gunk that collect in and below your bathroom sink drain. It usually involves:
Clearing hair and debris from the stopper area and drain opening
Removing and cleaning the P-trap (the U-shaped pipe under the sink) that catches buildup
Snaking the downstream bathroom branch line if the clog is further out
Reassembling and testing the system for leaks and proper drainage
The result: your bathroom sink drains quickly again, without that persistent ring of water or slow swirl down the bowl.
Why Choose Active Plumbing
Hair and soap experts: We know how hair mats, toothpaste, and soap scum combine to choke off bathroom drains.
Proper disassembly and cleaning: We can remove stoppers and traps safely, clean them out, and reassemble without leaks.
Deeper-clearing when needed: If the clog is further down, we can snake the bathroom branch line to fully clear it.
Fixture-safe approach: We protect countertops, cabinets, and finishes while working under and around the sink.
Honest recommendations: If we see old or poorly assembled piping, we’ll suggest sensible upgrades—not unnecessary upsells.
Licensed & insured: Nevada License #0047021, trusted for bathroom plumbing and drain cleaning across the Las Vegas area.
Immediate Actions (What to Do Now)
Stop running the faucet if water is standing in the sink and not draining.
Skip chemical drain cleaners—they often don’t dissolve hair mats and can be harsh on pipes and finishes.
Don’t pry aggressively at the stopper with tools; it’s easy to damage the mechanism or sink surface.
Note if the sink has a pop-up stopper and whether water ever gurgles or backs up into other nearby sinks.
Call Active Plumbing at (702) 438-3357 and ask for bathroom sink drain cleaning (hair and soap buildup), and let us know if the drain is slow or completely blocked.
Common Bathroom Sink Drain Problems We See
Sink that takes a long time to drain, even with light use
Standing water that sits for minutes (or longer) before going down
Gurgling or glugging sounds from the drain
Black or slimy buildup around the drain opening or stopper
Odors coming from the sink when you run water
Clogs that return shortly after DIY attempts with plungers or small snakes
If the problem is isolated to one or two bathroom sinks, and you see hair and soap buildup around the drain, the clog is usually right in that bathroom line.
Call & Symptom Check
You call (702) 438-3357 and describe what’s happening—slow drain, standing water, odors, or recurring clogs. We schedule a visit and note whether this is one sink or multiple and how long it’s been an issue.
On-Site Inspection & Stopper Check
Your plumber inspects the sink, stopper mechanism, and visible piping under the vanity. We see how the stopper is attached and determine the best way to access the clog without damaging finishes or hardware.
Common Situations We Handle
We carefully remove the stopper assembly (if present) and clean out hair and gunk lodged there. Then we remove the P-trap and clean it thoroughly, clearing any hair, toothpaste sludge, and soap buildup from the trap and nearby connections.
Branch Line Clearing (If Needed)
If the clog extends beyond the trap, we use a small drain snake to clear the bathroom sink branch line, pushing through and retrieving hair and buildup deeper in the pipe. We may run multiple passes if the line is heavily coated.
Reassembly, Leak Check & Flow Test
We reinstall the trap, stopper, and associated hardware, then run water to check for leaks at all joints and verify the sink is draining quickly and smoothly. If the sink ties into other fixtures, we check those for proper function too.
Findings, Prevention Tips & Next Steps
We show or describe what we pulled out (hair, soap, sludge), and give you simple maintenance tips—like using strainers, periodic light cleaning, and what not to rinse down the sink. If we notice aging or improper piping, we’ll explain your options for future upgrades.
What’s Included
A typical bathroom sink drain cleaning (hair and soap buildup) service may include:
Inspection of the sink, stopper, and under-sink drain piping
Removal and cleaning of the stopper assembly to clear hair and buildup
Removal and cleaning of the P-trap and immediate drain section
Snaking/clearing of the bathroom sink branch line if the clog extends deeper
Reassembly and leak testing of all reinstalled parts and joints
Flow testing and basic prevention tips to reduce future clogs
Costs & Timelines (What to Expect)
Most bathroom sink drain cleanings are completed in a single visit, often within a relatively short service window.
You’ll receive upfront pricing before we start any work, with separate estimates if we discover additional issues (like damaged piping, corroded traps, or shared stack problems).
Main cost factors: access under the sink, complexity of the stopper mechanism, how far the clog extends into the line, and whether multiple sinks need to be serviced.
If we discover that the issue is part of a larger bathroom or main line problem, we’ll explain that clearly and give you options and pricing for that broader scope.
Insurance & Claims Help
Most bathroom sink clogs are routine maintenance issues, but occasionally they contribute to overflows and water damage:
If a clog caused water to overflow and damage cabinets or flooring, our documentation can show that a licensed plumber responded and corrected the drain issue.
If we find cracked or poorly installed piping leading to leaks or repeated damage, we can document that for property managers, landlords, or owners.
(Coverage and claim decisions are always up to your insurer and policy; this is not financial or legal advice.)
Risks of Waiting (Why Act Now)
Complete blockages: A slow drain is usually a warning—without cleaning, it can become fully plugged.
Overflow and water damage: A blocked sink left running (or bumped on) can overflow and damage cabinets, floors, and walls.
Odors and bacteria: Hair, soap, and organic material sitting in the drain make a great home for slime and smells.
Stress on pipes and seals: Repeated backing up and plunging can stress older or fragile drain assemblies.
Hidden larger issues: Recurring clogs can indicate poor piping slope, improper connections, or older materials that may need attention.
Dealing with a slow bathroom sink before it becomes a full blockage is quicker, cleaner, and usually less expensive.
Methods, Materials & Quality Standards
Fixture-safe methods: We take care with stoppers, chrome trims, and vanity finishes to avoid damage.
Proper hand and mechanical tools: We use appropriate-size drain snakes and hand tools—not improvised wire or coat hangers that can damage piping.
Correct reassembly: Traps, washers, and nuts are reinstalled properly, with checks to ensure no leaks.
Code-minded: If we see unusual or non-compliant piping, we’ll point it out and offer repair or upgrade options.
Clear explanations: We tell you what we found, what we removed, and how to prevent the same clog pattern in the future.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my bathroom sink keep clogging with hair?
Bathroom sinks catch hair from shaving, grooming, and washing, which combines with soap and toothpaste to create sticky clumps that cling inside the drain and trap.
Do chemical drain cleaners work on hair clogs?
They rarely work well and can be harsh on pipes and finishes, as well as unsafe to handle. Mechanical cleaning is usually safer and more effective.
Can I remove the stopper myself to clean hair?
Some homeowners do, but stopper linkages can be easy to damage or misassemble. If you’re unsure, it’s safer to have a pro do it—especially if you’ve already had leaks under the sink.
How do I know if the clog is deeper than the trap?
If the trap and stopper have been cleaned and the sink is still slow or backing up quickly, the clog is likely further down the line, and snaking the branch is usually needed.
Will clearing my bathroom sink affect other drains?
Typically, no. We work on the bathroom sink line itself. If multiple fixtures are slow, we may need to check the larger bathroom stack or main line.
