What Causes Blocked Kitchen Drains?

Food Waste

Kitchen drains often suffer from grease, oil, and food particles that don’t break down easily. As grease cools, it solidifies, sticking to the pipe walls and creating a trap for food particles. This sticky residue builds up over time, making it hard for water to pass through.

Grease and Fat

Hair buildup in bathroom drains can quickly lead to blockages, as it combines with soap scum to form stubborn clogs. Over time, these substances tangle and trap other debris, creating a dense, sticky mass that obstructs water flow and slows drainage.

Soap Scum

In areas with hard water, minerals like calcium and magnesium can accumulate in pipes, gradually narrowing the internal diameter. This scale buildup restricts flow and can eventually lead to complete blockages, especially in older plumbing systems that haven’t been treated for hard water.

Foreign Objects

Small objects such as paper towels, sanitary items, and even children’s toys can accidentally find their way into drains. These items can quickly clog pipes and require professional intervention to remove, as they are often too large or dense for DIY methods to resolve effectively.

Signs of a Blocked Kitchen Drain

Slow Draining Water

If water drains slowly from your sink, it’s a clear sign that something is obstructing the pipes. This gradual slowdown is one of the first signs of a blockage.

Foul Odours

To clear toilet blocks fast, we take a non-invasive approach. A jet nozzle is inserted into the toilet, providing a high power water technology. This water jetting allows us to eliminate any problem at hand. Some obstructions we’ve removed include tree roots and debris.

Gurgling Sounds

Strange gurgling sounds when water drains or after using the sink suggest trapped air in the pipes. This is often due to a blockage.

Water Backup

Water backing up into the sink or other fixtures when using the faucet or dishwasher indicates a serious blockage that needs professional attention.

Standing Water

Water that won’t drain and remains in your sink is a sign of a full blockage in the pipes, requiring immediate action.

How We Clear Blocked Kitchen Drains:

Step 1: Inspection and Diagnosis

We start with a detailed inspection of your kitchen drain using advanced camera technology. This helps us locate the blockage and understand its cause.

Step 2: Clearing the Blockage

After identifying the problem, we use a combination of high-pressure water jetting and specialised drain augers to remove the blockage. These methods are safe for your plumbing. They are highly effective at clearing even the toughest clogs.

Step 3: Final Testing and Cleanup

Once the blockage is cleared, we perform thorough testing to ensure the drain is fully functioning. This involves running water through the system to verify that the blockage is completely removed. We make sure the water flow is restored to normal. This step helps confirm the long-term success of the clearing process.

Preventing Kitchen Drain Blockages

Prevention is better than dealing with a blocked drain. Follow these simple tips to avoid kitchen drain blockages:

Dispose of Grease Properly

Never pour grease or fat down the drain. Let it cool and solidify, then dispose of it in the trash.

Use a Drain Guard

Install a drain guard in your sink to catch food particles. It prevents them from entering the drain.

Flush Drains Regularly

Flush your kitchen drain with boiling water regularly. It helps prevent the build-up of grease and soap scum.

Dispose of Food Waste Responsibly

Scrape food scraps into the bin rather than rinsing them down the sink to reduce the risk of blockages.
