Clogged Drain in Santa Monica

On June 9, 2026, our team addressed a clogged drain in a Santa Monica bathroom. The service call focused on a pedestal sink with a two-handle faucet featuring separate hot and cold controls. Inspection revealed dark staining and discoloration in the drain area, along with visible debris buildup that was restricting water flow.

The P-trap and drain assembly under the sink showed signs of age and corrosion on metal components, which contributed to the blockage. The cabinet interior displayed water staining from previous moisture exposure, indicating the clog had likely been developing for some time. Our technician accessed and cleaned the drain area, removing the accumulated material that was preventing proper drainage.

The flexible braided supply lines—both hot and cold—were inspected and confirmed to be intact with proper fittings throughout. No replacement was necessary. Once the drain was cleared, water flow was restored to normal operation. The pedestal sink now drains freely without backup or slow drainage issues.

While the P-trap assembly showed age-related corrosion, the immediate clog was successfully resolved. We recommend monitoring the drain over the coming weeks and scheduling preventive drain cleaning service annually to prevent future blockages. Regular maintenance will help extend the life of the existing fixtures and avoid emergency calls down the road.
