InventHelp Develops New Drain for Vessel Sinks
InventHelp has developed a new type of vent designed to improve water flow in vessel sinks. The invention aims to address issues with slow drainage caused by air locks.
PITTSBURGH, Sept. 14, 2026 – InventHelp has developed a new solution to address drainage issues in vessel sinks. The new invention aims to improve water flow and prevent air locks, which can cause slow drainage in more common sink types.
Vessel sinks, unlike conventional sinks, do not feature built-in vents. This lack of ventilation can lead to slow water drainage as air locks form at the bottom of the sink. An inventor from St. Paul, Minnesota, identified this problem and sought a way to improve the functionality.
The newly developed vent is designed to specifically tackle this issue by enhancing airflow within the drain assembly. This is intended to ensure a more consistent and faster water evacuation from the sink, potentially improving the user experience and reducing standing water.
The invention is being presented to potential licensees and manufacturers. The goal is to make this solution available to a wider market, offering consumers a more efficient option for their bathrooms. Further details are available through InventHelp.
