FAQ - KITCHEN CLOGS

What causes kitchen clogs and how to unclog them?

Fats or greases poured or washed down a drain often cause kitchen clogs. Fatty deposits cool and solidify along the walls of your pipes. Over time, these deposits trap other debris and before long, your pipe is clogged shut. The best tip is to not let grease go down the drain! Scrape fats away and deposit oils into a tin can or container and dispose of it.

When a drain is clogged, the first thing to try is a plunger. If you are working in a kitchen with a double sink, seal the drain in the other side with a cloth. Place the mouth of the plunger over the clogged drain, and pump firmly, repeatedly.

If you succeed in freeing the drain, run some hot water to refresh the pipes. If plunging does not work, give us a call and we can help you solve it.
