A kitchen sink that drains like new.
Slow or stopped kitchen sinks are usually grease, food and soap scum. We clear the trap and the branch line so water leaves the sink at full speed.
- Typical visit: Under an hour for a single sink
- Method: Trap cleaning, cable or small jet
- Check: Dishwasher and disposal flow
What it is, and why it matters.
Kitchen sinks collect the worst of a home's drain traffic: cooking grease that cools into a coating, food particles, coffee grounds and soap. Over months the coating narrows the pipe, and one more spoonful of pasta water is all it takes to stop it.
We start at the sink, remove and clean the trap, then feed a small cable or a drain machine into the branch line behind it. When the problem is deeper in a Nashville home with a long line or a shared stack, we clear that too and check the nearby drains. If it keeps returning we recommend jetting, which washes the pipe wall instead of poking a hole through the grease.
Four things done right.
Trap and line
We clean the trap and the pipe behind it, not only the part you can see.
Right size tool

Dishwasher check
We confirm the dishwasher drains too.

Kitchen Sink Drain Cleaning: common questions
Are chemical drain cleaners okay for a kitchen sink?
They are not recommended. They can damage pipes and disposals and they are unsafe for the next person who opens the trap. Mechanical clearing and jetting remove the cause instead of dissolving a small hole in it.
How do I keep a kitchen drain from clogging?
Wipe greasy pans into the trash, run hot water with the disposal, avoid pouring cooled grease down the drain and scrape plates before rinsing. A yearly cleaning helps in busy kitchens.
