We pour things like oil, grease, soups, starch-filled water, and other such kitchen waste products down the sink. While most of this debris will drain away, some of it clings to the drain lines and eventually causes clogs. If you want your kitchen sink to function well the next time you use it, you’ll call a plumber immediately after you notice a problem. If you ignore small clogs, the debris will build-up and cause a severe blockage. This can lead to pipe bursts, leakages, and water damage.
Signs that Your Kitchen Sink Needs to be Unclogged
Kitchen sink clogs should be investigated thoroughly; at times the underlying problem is with the main sewer lines rather than the sink and the immediate drain lines connected to it. Here are some signs that your kitchen sink drains might be clogged and need to be cleared:
- Standing Water in Single Bowl – If you have a single bowl sink, you’ll have standing water in it if there’s a big clog in the drain. Standing water indicates complete blockage with very little water passing through the drains.
- Water Draining in One Bowl and Emerging in Another – In double-bowled sinks, you’ll see water drain down one sink and emerge from another. Eventually, both sinks will have some level of standing water. This is also a sign of a severe clog in the drainage pipe below the sink.
- Slow Drainage – Slow drainage is a sign of a less intense or a distant clog. If you have a small blockage, the water will still slip past the gap but it won’t drain quickly. You can use some DIY drain-clearing techniques to handle this problem and call the plumber only when the drain doesn’t clear.
- Repeated Drainage Problems – Repeated drainage problems are a sign of a severe further down the drain or multiple clogs. These can’t be addressed with just over-the-counter cleaners or household drain cleaning methods. You need a plumber with a drain snake to assist you.
How to Prevent Kitchen Sink Clogs
If you maintain your kitchen sink well and take a few precautions, you might be able to avoid kitchen sink clogs entirely. Here are some tips:
- Don’t pour fats like grease, melted butter, cooking oils, etc, down the kitchen sink. These items will solidify when they’re cold and clog the drains.
- Use a strainer as it will catch all solid food particles and anything else that might cause the clogs.
You should also flush your kitchen sink with hot water regularly to clear any existing clogs as this would preemptively clear all clogs.
