Our Clogged Kitchen Sink Repair Services

Kitchen sinks take a beating. Grease from cooking, food scraps that miss the disposal, and soap residue all build up inside the pipe over time, narrowing the passage until water barely moves. Our technicians use professional-grade snaking equipment to break through these clogs and clear the line, not just push the blockage further down where it’ll cause trouble again next month.

We also look at what’s happening downstream of the sink itself. Sometimes a slow kitchen drain isn’t just about the trap under the sink — it can be a partial blockage further along the line, especially in older Ruston homes with pipe runs that have carried decades of grease and food waste. We’ll trace the problem back to its source instead of guessing.

If your clog keeps coming back, we’ll talk you through what’s causing the repeat buildup and what it’ll take to keep your kitchen drain running clear, whether that’s a different cleaning routine or a closer look at your plumbing setup. If food waste is a frequent culprit, our garbage disposal repair and installation services can help cut down on how often clogs form in the first place. And if it’s not just the kitchen sink giving you trouble, our general clogged sink repair service covers bathroom and utility sinks throughout your home.

Signs You Need Clogged Kitchen Sink Repair

• Water draining slowly. If the sink takes longer and longer to empty, grease or food debris is likely narrowing the pipe.
• Standing water that won’t go down. A sink that fills up and just sits there usually means the line is fully or nearly blocked.
• Gurgling sounds from the drain. That noise is often trapped air fighting past a clog, and it tends to get worse before it gets better.
• Bad smells coming from the drain. Trapped food and grease breaks down in the pipe and can leave a persistent odor in your kitchen.
• Water backing up into the other side of a double sink. This is a sign the clog is sitting in the shared drain line, not just one side.
• DIY methods aren’t cutting it anymore. If a plunger or store-bought drain cleaner only helps for a day or two, the clog is more established than it looks.

Any one of these on its own is worth a call. Once you’re seeing two or three together, it’s a good sign the clog needs more than a home remedy to clear for good.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my kitchen sink keep clogging even after I clear it?

Repeat kitchen clogs usually mean the grease, food, and soap buildup wasn’t fully cleared — it was just pushed further down the line where it settles and rebuilds. Older Ruston homes with long pipe runs are especially prone to this. Our technicians snake the line to the source and clear it properly, then talk you through what’s driving the buildup.

Is it bad to pour grease down the kitchen drain?

It’s one of the most common causes of kitchen clogs we see. Grease pours in as a liquid but cools and hardens inside the pipe, catching food scraps and narrowing the passage until water barely moves. Wiping pans and collecting grease in a can instead of rinsing it down the drain goes a long way toward preventing backups.

Why does one side of my double sink back up into the other?

In a double sink, both basins share a drain line. When water backs up from one side into the other, the clog is sitting in that shared section past where the two drains meet, not just under one basin. Our technicians locate exactly where the blockage sits and clear the shared line so both sides drain freely again.

Can a clogged garbage disposal cause my kitchen sink to back up?

Yes. A jammed or failing disposal can trap food waste right where it feeds into the drain, leading to slow draining and backups in the sink above it. Sometimes the fix is the disposal itself rather than the line. We handle both, so if food waste is a frequent culprit we can look at your disposal and the drain together.

Do chemical drain cleaners work on kitchen sink clogs?

We don’t recommend leaning on them. Store-bought cleaners often only punch a small hole through a grease clog, so it drains for a day or two and then backs up again — and they can be hard on older pipes. Professional snaking clears the full blockage at the source, which is why it lasts longer than a chemical pour.
