Clogged Drain in Marina del Rey
Our team arrived in Marina del Rey to address a clogged drain affecting the kitchen sink. Upon inspection, we identified the source of the blockage and assessed the condition of the existing plumbing assembly.
The original P-trap showed significant corrosion and oxidation, with a green patina visible on the brass elbow fitting—a clear sign of age and mineral buildup that had contributed to drainage issues. The supply lines showed wear, and the drain configuration needed repositioning to restore proper flow and prevent future clogs.
We removed the corroded P-trap assembly and replaced it with new components, ensuring secure connections and proper pitch for drainage. The supply lines were rewrapped with fresh insulation tape, and the drain hose was rerouted using new flexible tubing for optimal performance. We also installed a Badger 5 garbage disposal unit (1/2 HP model) in the lower basin mounting area, which provides reliable waste grinding and helps prevent future drain blockages.
After completing the installation, we cleaned the sink basin and tested all connections to confirm proper drainage and no leaks. The double-basin white porcelain sink now drains smoothly, and the new disposal unit is ready for regular use. The homeowner can rely on improved drainage performance and reduced risk of future clogs with this upgraded assembly.
For ongoing drain cleaning and maintenance in Marina del Rey, we recommend periodic inspections to keep your system running smoothly.
