Kitchen Sink Drain Cleaning
in Little Rock, AR

Slow drainage is the first warning sign. If your sink is taking longer to empty than it used to, you've got a clog forming. Don't wait until it's completely blocked.

Bad smells coming from the drain mean there's old food and grease rotting in your pipes. That sour, rotten smell? It's not going away without cleaning out the buildup.

Water backing up when you run the dishwasher means your drain line can't handle the flow. The dishwasher pumps water out fast, and if your drain is partially clogged, that water has nowhere to go except back up into your sink.

Gurgling sounds from the drain when water goes down means air is trapped in the pipe by a partial blockage. This usually happens right before a drain stops working completely.

Standing water that won't drain at all is a complete blockage. At this point, you can't use your sink or dishwasher until the clog is cleared.

Regular cleaning prevents these problems. If you cook at home a lot or have a busy household, your kitchen drain is working hard. Getting it cleaned before problems start saves you from dealing with backups and emergency calls.

Never pour grease down your kitchen sink. Let it cool in a container and throw it in the trash. Even small amounts of grease build up over time.

Run hot water after doing dishes. This helps flush soap and small particles through the pipes before they can stick. Run it for at least 30 seconds after you're done.

Use a sink strainer to catch food scraps. These cheap screens sit in your drain and catch everything before it goes down the pipe. Empty them into the trash after every meal.

Don't treat your garbage disposal like a trash can. It can handle some food waste, but not everything. Avoid putting coffee grounds, eggshells, pasta, rice, potato peels, and fibrous vegetables down the disposal. These either don't grind up well or expand when wet.

Run cold water while using your garbage disposal. Cold water keeps grease solid so it can be chopped up and flushed away. Hot water melts grease, which then coats your pipes as it cools.

Clean your P-trap occasionally. That curved pipe under your sink catches debris. If you're handy, you can remove it, clean it out, and put it back. If not, we can do it during regular maintenance.

Pay attention to early warning signs. Slow drainage and bad smells mean problems are developing. Getting these fixed early is cheaper and easier than dealing with a complete blockage.

Let's talk about water heaters. Most people don't think about them until they stop working. But here in Arkansas, with our humid summers and cold winters, a working water heater isn't just about comfort. It's about your daily life functioning the way it should.

We install all types of water heaters in Little Rock and the surrounding areas. Whether you live in the Heights, West Little Rock, or out near Maumelle, we can get to you. Tank water heaters, tankless systems, gas or electric. We handle them all.

Here's what most people don't know: your water heater probably needs replacing before it completely dies. If your unit is over 10 years old, making weird noises, or taking longer to heat up water, you're on borrowed time. Many people wait until it fails completely, which usually means coming home to water damage or having no hot water for days while waiting for parts.

When we install a new water heater, we don't just swap the old one for a new one. We check your home's setup, talk about your hot water needs (big family? guests often? lots of laundry?), and help you pick the right size. A water heater that's too small means you run out of hot water. One that's too big wastes energy and money every month.

The Hillcrest neighborhood has a lot of older homes with original plumbing. The process for replacing water heaters usually takes about 3-4 hours. Newer homes in Chenal Valley or Maumelle sometimes need different setups, especially if they have specific builder requirements.

If you need a full replacement, a new water heater can usually be installed within 24-48 hours.

Some plumbing problems can wait until Monday morning. Others can't.

A toilet that won't stop overflowing? That's an emergency. A burst pipe spraying water everywhere? You need help now. A backed-up drain flooding your basement? That needs attention right away.

We handle emergency plumbing calls for Little Rock homeowners. We're not available 24/7, but we respond quickly during business hours and can often get to you same-day.

The thing about plumbing emergencies is they always happen at the worst time. Saturday night before you're hosting Sunday brunch. Right before you leave for vacation. Five minutes after you put your kids to bed.

When you call, we'll ask you some questions about what's happening. Sometimes we can walk you through a quick fix to stop the immediate problem until we can get there. Other times, you need to shut off your water right away to prevent damage.

If you've got water spraying everywhere, find your main water shut-off valve. In most Little Rock homes, it's near where the water line comes into your house, often in the basement or on an exterior wall. Turn it clockwise until it stops. That turns off all the water to your house and stops the flooding.

Nobody plans for their toilet to overflow or their drain to back up. But when it happens, you need someone who can get there fast and actually fix it, not just temporarily clear it so it backs up again next month.

We work all over the greater Little Rock area. From the historic homes in Quapaw Quarter to the newer developments in Maumelle and Conway. Each area has its own plumbing quirks.

Older neighborhoods often have galvanized pipes or cast iron that's reaching the end of its life. Newer areas might have builder-grade fixtures that need upgrading. And everywhere in between has water heaters that eventually wear out and drains that eventually clog.

Your plumbing keeps your home running. Hot showers, clean dishes, flushing toilets, washing clothes, all of that depends on everything working right. When something goes wrong, you need someone who can fix it quickly and do it right the first time.

That's what we do. No fancy marketing language. Just reliable plumbing service from people who actually live and work in Little Rock. Give us a call when you need a new water heater installed, when your drains are acting up, or when you've got any plumbing problem that needs fixing.
