Kitchen sink has a clogged drain

A kitchen without a properly working kitchen sink drain is a real nightmare.

Here are some common problems that create clogged drains in the kitchen:

• Pouring oil or grease down the drain. While I would not recommend pouring grease down the drain, never pour grease down the drain with followed by cold water! The grease will almost surely harden around your drain plumbing and prevent proper flow.
• Many if not most clogged drains can be attributed to the buildup of food or organic matter.
• Your garbage disposal unit has stopped working properly. This can create an issue with the drain.
• Buildups of any type of debris in your kitchen sink drain will reduce the regular flow of water just like cholesterol throughout the body’s bloodstream.

When debris travels down your drain plumbing that already has a partial blockage, the debris may catch on to the blockage and completely prevent your drain from working properly.

The above are just a few possibilities of what could happen. If your kitchen sink is really clogged give Radle Rooter Sewer & Drain a call. 727-265-1911  for St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Palm Harbor, Safety Harbor, Pinellas County Florida.
