DRAIN CLEANING / KITCHEN SINK
Kitchen Sink Drain Blockage
WHEN THE KITCHEN SINK STOPS MOVING.
Standing water in a kitchen sink can come from a localized clog or buildup farther down the branch. We identify the likely location and discuss a way to clear the line safely.

Kitchen Sink Drain Blockage: When To Call A Plumber
A kitchen sink not draining may be affected by grease, food particles, soap, or an obstruction in the trap. A disposal can also change how the symptom appears. If the sink drains poorly but the trap area seems clear, the restriction may sit farther down the branch; if another fixture changes at the same time, a shared line deserves consideration. We ask what has been tried before recommending mechanical cleaning or hydro jetting. Jetting is considered only when the pipe and access are suitable.

WHAT WE'LL CHECK
Your Kitchen Sink Drain Blockage Options
We review whether one or both sink bowls are affected, whether a disposal or dishwasher shares the drain, and how the clog began. Access and pipe material help determine what method is appropriate. A clear basin with a slow branch calls for a different response than a blocked trap or a main sewer issue. We avoid treating grease as certain until the pattern supports that conclusion.
Clear The Fixture Or Branch
For a localized obstruction, a cleaning method that fits the line may restore flow. Hydro jetting may be discussed for deposits in a suitable accessible pipe.
Check Beyond The Kitchen
If several drains are slow or a backup returns, we can evaluate the shared drain or main line rather than repeating sink-only cleaning.

GOOD TO KNOW
Kitchen Sink Drain Blockage
Questions Answered.
Have a question about your plumbing? These answers cover what we’re often asked.
Why is my kitchen sink not draining if there is no visible clog?
The obstruction can be in the trap or farther along the branch, where it is not visible from the basin. A shared line can also affect the sink.
Can grease clog a kitchen sink drain?
Yes. Grease can collect inside a line and combine with food and soap residue. Other causes are possible, so the location should be assessed.
Should I use a chemical cleaner before calling?
Avoid repeated or mixed products. If you have used a chemical, tell us before service so it can be considered when handling the drain.
Is a clogged kitchen sink connected to the sewer line?
The sink branch eventually joins the home drainage system, but one sink alone does not prove a main-line problem. Other fixture symptoms help distinguish the two.
