Kitchen Sink and Garbage Disposal Clogs

Grease, food scraps and soap make kitchen drains the most common clog in the house. We clear it and keep it clear.

A kitchen drain carries warm grease, oils and food particles that cool inside the pipe and harden into a waxy coating. Over months, that coating narrows the pipe until a piece of food lodges in it. Garbage disposals grind food small, but they cannot dissolve fats, and fibrous foods like celery and potato peels can still wrap and clog.

We clear the trap, the branch drain and the line beyond it, with equipment that removes grease rather than punching through it. If your sink is part of a double bowl with a disposal, we check both sides and the disposal outlet so the fix lasts.

Questions

Kitchen Sink Clogs FAQ

Is it safe to pour grease down the drain with hot water?

No. Hot water carries grease down the line, where it cools and hardens. Pour it into a container and throw it away.

Why does water back up into my second sink bowl?

The blockage is past the point where the bowls join, usually in the trap arm or the branch line.

Can I run my disposal when the sink is clogged?

It is best not to. Running it can push debris deeper and strain the motor.

How often should I have the kitchen line cleaned?

Busy kitchens benefit from a yearly cleaning; older cast iron lines may need it more often.
