Common Causes of Kitchen Sink Clogs in Orem Homes
- Grease and cooking oil: Fats solidify as they cool inside your pipes, gradually restricting flow and trapping other debris.
- Food particles: Rice, pasta, coffee grounds, and fibrous vegetables are common culprits that accumulate in kitchen drains.
- Soap buildup: Dish soap residue combines with grease and minerals to create stubborn deposits.
- Hard water minerals: Utah County's hard water contributes mineral scale that narrows pipes over time.
- Foreign objects: Utensils, food wrappers, or other items that accidentally slip down the drain.
Our Kitchen Sink Repair Services
We use professional techniques that go far beyond what DIY methods can achieve:
- Professional drain snaking: Motorized augers break through clogs that household plungers can't reach.
- Hydro jetting: High-pressure water cleans the entire interior of your kitchen drain line, removing grease and buildup completely.
- P-trap cleaning: We disassemble and clean the trap under your sink where debris commonly collects.
- Garbage disposal diagnosis: If your disposal is contributing to the problem, we'll identify and fix the issue.
Preventing Future Kitchen Clogs
- Never pour grease or cooking oil down the drain—let it cool and dispose of it in the trash.
- Use a sink strainer to catch food particles before they enter your pipes.
- Run hot water for 30 seconds after using the garbage disposal.
- Avoid putting starchy or fibrous foods (pasta, rice, celery) down the disposal.
- Schedule annual professional drain cleaning to keep lines clear.
