What's Clogging Your Kitchen Sink

Grease buildup on pipe walls

The dominant cause. Cooking oils, butter, dressing, and cheese residue congeal inside the pipe and capture everything else.

Starchy food debris

Pasta, rice, and potato expand in water and stick to existing grease. Over time, the pipe narrows drastically.

Garbage disposal jam or failure

Humming without grinding = jam. Silent + nothing happens = motor or wiring issue. We repair and replace disposals.

Branch drain grease line

If the kitchen is slow AND other nearby fixtures are slow, the grease has moved downstream into the branch drain. Hydro-jetting clears it.

Kitchen Sink Filling Up? Don't Ignore It.

Grease buildup worsens every time you cook. Clear it properly now — before it becomes a main-line problem.

Clogged Kitchen Sink — Common Questions

How much does clearing a clogged kitchen sink cost?
Our $99 to send a licensed technician out, not charged at all if you approve the repair. A typical grease/food clog in the trap or within the first few feet of branch drain is a standard visit. If the clog is deeper in the stack or main line — or if the grease is extensive — we quote that work before continuing.
Why does my kitchen sink keep clogging?
Grease is the #1 cause — cooking oil, butter, bacon grease, dressing, cheese residue. Even small amounts congeal inside the pipe wall and catch food debris. The #2 cause is starchy food (pasta, rice, potato peels) that expands and sticks to the existing grease buildup. Hydro-jetting cleans that out properly.
My garbage disposal is humming but not grinding — is it clogged?
That usually means the disposal is jammed, not clogged. Turn off the breaker or unplug it, use the hex wrench in the bottom to rotate the motor manually. If you can free it, reset the red button on the underside and test. If the disposal still won't run, it needs service or replacement. We do both.
Can hydro-jetting clear a kitchen line with heavy grease?
Yes — that's exactly what hydro-jetting is for. A cable auger punches a hole through the grease; high-pressure water scours the pipe wall clean. For a chronic kitchen-line issue, hydro-jetting is the right service, and we often camera-inspect first to confirm the pipe is sound before jetting.
Will you need to open my wall or floor?
Almost never for a kitchen clog. We clear through the existing cleanout, the trap, or the disposal discharge. We don't open walls unless there's a structural pipe issue — and we'd show you why on camera before anything is cut.
