KITCHEN SINK DRAIN CLEANING
The Most Grease-Prone Drain in Your Home
Kitchen sink drains take a beating every day. Cooking grease, food scraps, dish
soap, and coffee grounds all pass through the drain line — and over time, they
accumulate on pipe walls, narrowing the flow until the drain slows to a crawl or
stops entirely. Even homes with garbage disposals experience this buildup, because
the disposal shreds food but doesn't eliminate the fat and grease that coats the pipe.
Chemical drain cleaners are particularly ineffective on grease-based kitchen clogs.
They may temporarily open a small channel, but the greasy buildup remains on the
pipe walls and the clog returns — sometimes worse than before. Professional drain
cleaning physically removes the accumulated material from the pipe.
Downing Plumbing uses professional cable machines to cut through and remove grease
and food buildup, and hydro jetting for heavy accumulation in longer drain runs.
We service the P-trap, the branch drain line, and the connection to the main sewer
line — so the entire kitchen drain system flows freely when we're done.
