What Causes Kitchen Drain 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 that big for how much water we send down our drains!

Yes, even soap leaves a residue that can cause clogs! That’s why it’s so important to keep an eye on the state of your drains. As soon as you notice backed-up water or foul odors, it would be best if you tried to clean out the collected debris. A plumber can help you do this as well if you aren’t sure how to proceed. Our tools are specifically designed for maximum efficiency when cleaning out your kitchen drain..

DIY Drain Cleaners

One of the most important things to remember about cleaning out your drains is that the chemical drain cleaners you purchase at the store can be very harmful! Yes, they eat away at the clogged residue blocking your pipes, but there are two problems: they often don’t remove the clog completely and the chemicals can be very dangerous to your pipes and your health! 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 partner 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, be aware if you’re able to completely remove the clog. A plumber will have high-tech cameras to make this process much easier.

Easy Drain Maintenance!

Did you know that most drain clogs can be prevented with some simple drain maintenance? For example, vinegar or dish soap can work well to periodically clear out grease and food residue from your kitchen drain. Just pour some down the drain while the water is running! It may not stop all clogs, but it sure will help!
