Hello All,
I have Pegasus Sink drains in the hallway bathroom. There are two sinks. After running the water there is always a little bit of water left around the drain assembly. Maybe a couple of finger nails worth. There is also always this black stuff building up. I figured the black stuff was fungus from sitting water.
I tried putting some bleach on it and left it over night. This morning the black stuff was more plentiful and not it is kind of stuck to the sink. I can scrub it off but some is more stubborn that the other. I believe at this point that the standing water is causing the rubber stopper on the underside of the stop to deteriorate. Really not 100% sure though. Both sinks do this. One gets more use than the other and the one that gets more use has more black stuff.
You guys have any ideas on what exactly is going on here? Also how to make this go away? Am I going to have to replace the drain assemblies?
Thanks
Tom
