Common Causes of Sink Drain Clogs

Grease and Oil Accumulation
Pouring cooking oils or fats down the drain can solidify over time, forming a stubborn blockage.
Food Particles
Bits of food that escape the sink strainer can accumulate in the pipes, gradually slowing drainage.
Soap Scum
Residue from dish soap or detergent can mix with minerals in water, forming sticky buildup that narrows the pipe diameter.
Foreign Objects
Small items accidentally dropped into the sink—such as utensils, bottle caps, or pieces of packaging—can obstruct water flow.

Signs of a Clogged Sink Drain

Slow draining water in the sink
Gurgling or bubbling sounds from the drain
Unpleasant odors emanating from the sink
Water backing up into adjacent areas or other sinks
Recurrent clogs despite regular cleaning

Cleaning Process

Initial Inspection
The drain is inspected to determine the cause and severity of the clog using visual inspection or specialized cameras for deeper blockages.
Manual or Mechanical Cleaning
- Plunger or Drain Snake: Used for minor to moderate clogs.
- Augers and Motorized Tools: Employed for stubborn or deep blockages.
Chemical-Free Clearing
Whenever possible, environmentally safe, non-corrosive methods are used to dissolve grease or soap buildup without damaging pipes.
Flush and Test
Once the clog is removed, the drain is flushed with water to ensure smooth, unrestricted flow and to verify that the blockage is fully cleared.
Preventive Measures
Recommendations include using drain strainers, avoiding grease disposal down the sink, and routine maintenance to prevent future clogs.
