Common Causes of Kitchen Sink Clogs
Drains are supposed to flush water and waste away from your home, but most homeowners don’t know how delicate their plumbing pipes are. Pipes leading away from your kitchen are usually between one and three inches wide—that’s not very big for how much water we send down our drains!
What causes a problem is the residue from other materials that flow with the water down the drain. You may be surprised by the most common causes of drain clogs in Frisco:

Answers to Your Frequently Asked Questions
Our experts are always here to provide you with the insight and knowledge you need to understand your kitchen’s plumbing systems.
You should always use chemical-free or DIY drain cleaners—most are made from household items you likely have already.
One of the first things to try is baking soda, vinegar, and hot water. These substances combine to lift, loosen, and carry away any debris collected into a clog. Other tactics like wire hangers can also work to remove the clog. In the end, take note of whether you’re able to completely remove the clog. A plumber will have high-tech cameras to make this process much easier.
Also, remember to use that drain strainer to catch bigger pieces of food and debris. Never pour oil or grease down your kitchen sink, either—instead, let it cool inside a sealable container, then throw that container away in the trash.
If we can’t solve the problem that way, we might upgrade to more advanced technology like a pipe camera to get our eyes on the problem. Rest assured that we won’t leave until we figure out a way to free your plumbing from that stubborn clog!
