Kitchen Sink Clogged? 3 Things You Should Know

November 8, 2021 by Boris Mechanical

There’s nothing more aggravating than a kitchen sink clog. When water fails to go down the drain, you might feel anger, frustration, and a little bit of anxiety. What’s stopping the drain from functioning properly? Will it be expensive to have a clogged kitchen sink repaired? How can you stop the sink from clogging in the first place? For the answers to these plumbing questions, keep reading Kitchen Sink Clog Facts.

Why Do Kitchen Sinks Clog?

Kitchen sinks clog because something obstructs the drain pipe, preventing water and waste materials to leave the kitchen sink. These clogs can be formed out of literally anything, but the most common sources of kitchen sink clogs are food, grease, hair and soap scum. Some types of food, such as cooked squash, has a tendency to adhere to the inside of pipes, trapping other types of food that would normally travel down the drain without any problem.

Why Are Kitchen Sink Clogs So Hard to Remove?

You may have tried using a plunger or a drain cleaning chemical from a discount store to fix your clogged sink. The internet is full of home remedies to fix clogged kitchen sinks. Yet these methods don’t always work. The only reliable proven way to eliminate a clogged kitchen sink is to call in your professional licensed plumber. They use powerful tools to blast through even the most stubborn kitchen sink clog and get your kitchen back to normal.

What Can Keep the Kitchen Sink from Getting Clogged Again?

Many people don’t know this, but household drains need regular cleaning to prevent clogging problems. Your household drains include the drain pipes attached to your kitchen sink, dishwasher, washing machine, and, in the bathroom, tub, sink, shower, and toilet.

During drain cleaning, the plumber quickly and efficiently removes any accumulating debris from the inside of pipes that can contribute to clogs. It’s also possible to have a visual inspection done which can check for damage for tree roots and other common problems.

Having drain cleaning done regularly can help ensure you’re not stressed out by kitchen sink clogs!
