Installing a drain isn’t just about getting water to go down the pipe. It’s about ensuring that water flows exactly where it’s supposed to, whether that’s in your sink, bathroom, or the yard. Improper installation can lead to drainage problems like standing water, soil erosion, and even flooding – issues that no one wants to deal with.

That’s why, at Sunny Bliss, we take a comprehensive approach to every job, whether it’s a new sink installation in your powder room or setting up a French drain to keep your landscape in perfect shape. We’ve seen it all, and we’re here to make sure you don’t have to worry about drainage problems again.

If you can, why not? However, when installed incorrectly, drains can lead to a host of problems: standing water, soil erosion, or a leaky joint. Not to mention the headache of fixing a botched DIY job that could have been easily avoided by loosely tightening the slip joint nuts instead of cranking them with all your might. (We’ll get to that!)

Let’s talk about what we can do for you indoors. Whether it’s a brand-new sink installation, replacing an old drain, or fixing those annoying leaks, we’ll handle it all with precision and care. We make sure that every element – slip joint nuts, P-traps, and drain pipes – is installed correctly so that your home remains dry, functional, and free of standing water.

Here’s How We Do It:

Step 1: Prepping for the Job We start by assessing the situation and gathering all the necessary tools, including slip joint pliers, P-trap kits, rubber washers, and a clean damp rag to make sure the area is ready for installation. If you’ve purchased a new faucet or sink (separately), we’ll incorporate it into the installation process.

Step 2: Installing the Drain We carefully position the new sink drain into the sink hole, making sure to line up the washers and use a generous bead of silicone for a watertight seal. This part is crucial because we want to make sure your sink functions without any leaks from day one.

Step 3: The P-Trap Connection We then move on to installing the P-trap. This U-shaped pipe under the sink is essential for catching debris and ensuring that no sewer gases sneak into your home. Using slip joint nuts and slip joint pliers, we secure everything tightly, but not too tight—just the right amount of tension to avoid damaging the parts.

Step 4: Testing for Perfection Before we wrap things up, we perform a full test, letting the faucet run to check the water flow. We inspect all joints, including the slip joint nuts, to ensure there are no leaks, drips, or issues. Everything is left clean, dry, and in perfect working order.

Sometimes, it’s not just about what’s happening indoors. If you’ve noticed standing water in your yard or near your foundation, you might need some outdoor drainage help. At Sunny Bliss, we specialize in French drain installations and other landscape drainage solutions to protect your property from water damage and soil erosion.

Here’s How We Handle Outdoor Drains:

Step 1: Planning the Drainage System First, we assess your landscape to find the best way to manage water flow. This might include installing a French drain or other systems like a catch basin or sump pump to direct water away from your home’s foundation. French drains are especially useful for preventing flooding by channeling water into gravel-lined trenches and away from your yard.

Step 2: Digging & Installing the Drain Pipe Once we’ve mapped out the area, we’ll dig a trench for the drain pipe, making sure it’s positioned at the right slope so water flows downhill naturally. After placing the perforated pipe, we surround it with gravel to keep debris out, ensuring smooth water flow.

Step 3: Finalizing the Installation We cover everything with soil or your desired landscaping materials, making sure the system is fully functional and discreet. The end result? A dry, well-protected yard that won’t turn into a mud pit every time it rains.

Now, let’s talk about the key players in any good drain installation. These parts may seem small, but they’re vital to ensuring everything works properly.

1. Slip Joint Nut

The slip joint nut is what connects the drain pipe to other sections of your plumbing. It’s designed to be adjustable, allowing us to make fine-tuned adjustments as we assemble the system. But here’s the secret: it needs to be installed with the tapered side facing the pipe to form the perfect seal.

2. P-Trap

The P-trap is that curved pipe under your sink that traps water to prevent unpleasant sewer gases from making their way into your home. It also catches debris like hair or food particles that might otherwise clog your system. We make sure it’s installed properly to avoid those nasty blockages.

3. Silicone Sealant

We use silicone to create a watertight seal around certain joints in your drain system. This is especially important for preventing leaks around the smooth metal pipe where the sink drain meets the plumbing. A good bead of silicone can be the difference between a long-lasting installation and a drippy disaster.

4. Rubber Washers And Rings

These small but mighty components work with the slip joint nuts to create a tight, leak-proof seal. Proper placement of the rubber washers is key to avoiding leaks, and we ensure everything is perfectly aligned before tightening the nuts.

Sometimes, things don’t go exactly as planned. But don’t worry—that’s why we’re here! Here are some common issues we can quickly troubleshoot:

• Leaky Joint: This is usually due to a misaligned washer or an improperly tightened slip joint nut. We’ll double-check everything to ensure the nuts are facing the right way and that the washers are in place.
• Slow Drainage: This could indicate a clog, but it might also mean the drain pipe isn’t sloped correctly. We’ll inspect the system and make sure water is flowing smoothly.
• Standing Water in the Sink: If water is pooling, it might be debris blocking the drain or an issue with how the pipe is connected. We’ll clear any obstructions and adjust the system for proper flow.

What should I do if my bathroom sink has slow drainage?

Slow drainage in bathroom sinks is often caused by clogs in the P-trap or waste drain. Hair, soap scum, and other debris can build up over time. We recommend cleaning the P-trap periodically, but if that doesn’t work, we’re here to help you troubleshoot and get your sink draining smoothly again.

How do I install a pop-up drain?

Start by placing the drain body into the sinkhole, making sure the gasket is positioned underneath the sink. Apply a bead of silicone around the drain to create a watertight seal. Once the drain is seated, insert the pop-up assembly, secure it with the mounting nut, and connect the lift rod. If you want it done quickly and without the hassle, we’re happy to install your pop-up drain for you.

What is the correct direction for the slip joint nut facing?

This is crucial for a leak-free installation. The slip joint nut needs to be installed with the tapered side facing the pipe or fitting. This ensures a snug fit when you tighten the nut. If it’s facing the wrong way, you’ll end up with a leaky joint – and no one wants that!

Why do I need two slip joint nuts?

In most drain installations, you’ll use two slip joint nuts to connect sections of pipe – one on each end of the P-trap or drain pipe. They work together to secure the connections between the pipes, ensuring a tight seal. The key is to hand-tighten first and then use slip joint pliers to give it a final twist, avoiding over-tightening.

Can I install a drain for a vessel sink myself?

Yes, but there are some specifics to keep in mind. Vessel sinks are installed on top of the counter, meaning your drain pipe needs to be aligned correctly. Additionally, if you’re pairing a wall faucet with your vessel sink, the height and alignment of the drain become even more critical. We recommend leaving this to a professional to ensure your vessel sink drains properly and there’s no risk of leaks.

What is a waste drain and how does it work?

The waste drain is part of your sink’s drainage system that carries water (and waste) away from the sink and into your home’s plumbing system. It connects to the P-trap and eventually to the home’s main waste line. If your waste drain is clogged or improperly installed, you could experience slow drainage or backups, which we can help fix in no time.

How do I prevent pipe sticking when installing slip joints?

To avoid pipe sticking, make sure the pipes are properly aligned before tightening the slip joints. If you overtighten, the pipes may get stuck or compressed, leading to future leaks. A slight twisting motion as you tighten the slip joint nuts can help avoid any issues.

Can you install a drain for a wall faucet and bathroom sink combo?

Absolutely! Wall faucets paired with bathroom sinks require a precise installation to make sure water drains effectively. We’ll make sure the sink and drain are properly aligned, and that all connections – whether with slip joints or other fittings – are perfectly sealed. This way, you won’t have any annoying leaks or drainage problems.
