Standing water in the kitchen sink brings the whole house to a stop. We clear grease, food and scale from kitchen lines so the sink, disposal and dishwasher all drain properly.
The kitchen drain works harder than any other line in the house. Every day it takes cooking oil, food particles, soap and hot water. As grease cools, it sticks to the pipe wall. Food and coffee grounds stick to the grease. Over months, a two-inch pipe can close down to the width of a pencil.
Many Maricopa kitchens have an island sink, which uses a longer horizontal run under the slab and a special vent loop. These long, flat runs collect grease faster than a sink on an outside wall. That is why kitchen clogs in newer homes are often 15 to 30 feet down the line, far beyond what a hand snake can reach.
Water standing in one or both bowls, often backing up from one side to the other.
A humming or backing-up disposal can be a jammed unit or a clog in the line behind it.
Dirty water rising in the sink when the dishwasher runs points to a blocked drain line.
Rotting food trapped in grease along the pipe wall causes a sour smell that will not rinse away.
Air pulled through a partial clog makes the sink gurgle as it empties.
If the sink clogs every few months, the line needs a full cleaning, not another quick poke.
We confirm whether the trouble is the disposal, the trap or the line.
The line is opened at the trap or cleanout under the sink.
A cable machine clears the blockage. Heavy grease may call for jetting.
Both bowls, the disposal and the dishwasher drain are tested.
Hard water makes kitchen grease worse. Minerals react with soap and fat to form a stiff, waxy layer that normal hot water will not melt. A few habits make a real difference:
For kitchens with recurring clogs, hydro jetting removes the grease layer completely. Restaurants and food service kitchens can read about commercial drain cleaning.
Grease coats the pipe wall and catches food. Cabling opens a path through it, but the remaining grease lets the clog rebuild. Hydro jetting removes the whole layer.
No. Disposals grind food smaller, but the pieces still have to travel through the pipe. Fibrous, starchy and greasy foods cause most kitchen clogs.
Usually not. A double sink shares one drain, so a clog past the tee backs up both bowls. If other fixtures are also slow, the main line may be involved.
Typical Phoenix-area prices for a kitchen sink line run about $125 to $250, depending on access and how far the clog is. We confirm the price before starting.
