Kitchen Sink Drain Cleaning | Grease & Disposal Clog Experts

The Enemy is "F.O.G."

Kitchen drains don't get clogged by hair; they get clogged by **Fats, Oils, and Grease (F.O.G.)**. When you pour hot grease down the drain, it cools and solidifies into a hard, waxy block deep in your pipes.

Standing Water

Water sits in the basin and takes 10+ minutes to drain, or doesn't drain at all. Both sides of a double sink may back up.

Rotting Smell

A persistent foul odor coming from the drain. This is rotting food particles trapped in the grease sludge.

Disposal Backup

When you run the garbage disposal, water shoots up into the other sink basin instead of down the drain.

STOP! Put down the Drano.

Chemical cleaners are heavier than water. They sit at the bottom of the trap and generate intense heat, which can melt plastic PVC piping and ruin your garbage disposal seals. **They do not dissolve severe grease clogs.**

No Mess Promise

We use drop cloths and wear booties.

The Professional Fix

How We Clear Kitchen Sludge

A standard hand-snake just pokes a hole in the grease, which quickly closes back up. We use specialized equipment designed for kitchens.

Motorized Grease-Cutter Heads

We use a power auger with a specialized blade tip that scrapes the walls of the pipe, physically removing the hardened grease.
Trap & Arm Cleaning

We manually disassemble the P-trap under the sink to remove solid debris like coffee grounds, eggshells, or utensils.
Mini-Hydro Jetting (Optional)

For severe sludge buildup in older homes, we may recommend high-pressure water jetting to scour the line "factory clean."

A Note on Garbage Disposals

Often, a kitchen clog isn't in the wall pipe—it's in the disposal itself. If your disposal is humming but not spinning, or if water drains slowly *through* it, we can fix that too. We carry standard replacement units on our trucks if yours is burned out.

Kitchen Clog FAQ

Will cleaning the drain make a mess in my kitchen?

Absolutely not. We respect your home. Our technicians wear shoe covers and lay down protective drop cloths and mats around the sink area to catch any drips or debris. We leave your kitchen as clean as we found it.

Why does water come up the other side of the sink?

This indicates a blockage *after* the point where the two sink basins meet (usually in the main trap or the wall pipe). When water can't go down, it takes the path of least resistance—which is up into the other sink bowl.

Can I put coffee grounds down the disposal?

**No.** Coffee grounds are one of the worst offenders. They are heavy and do not dissolve. They settle in the trap and mix with grease to create a sludge similar to wet concrete. Throw them in the trash or compost.
