Kitchen Sink Snake
(Residential & Commercial)
Kitchen sink drain services are the most common service calls that plumbers receive.
Sink openings are designed to protect the pipes falling objects. Therefore, sinks cannot be snaked from above without removing the P-Trap. It is extremely important not to break the pipes during this process.
Consider the following best practices to prevent damaging your pipelines before trying to break up the blockage:
- Flush a slow-draining kitchen sink with hot water
- Do NOT add water to a completely blocked drain
- Think twice before using caustic chemicals
- Do NOT ignore the stopper or the strainer
- Try a plunger on light clogs
- Do NOT Plunge with excessive force
- Snake the drain
- Do NOT jam the auger deeper into the drain
- Remove the trap to clear stubborn clogs
- Call a plumber
Warning:
Do NOT attempt unclogging a sink using a plunger if you have already poured chemical cleaner into the sink.
The hazardous material can quickly splash onto your skin while you use the plunger!
