Which Drains are Most Likely to Clog?

The smaller the diameter of the drain hole, the faster it will clog. That’s why snaking clogged kitchen drains, as well as narrow shower or bath drains, is a frequent occurrence in any cottage or apartment. No matter how carefully you use these modern conveniences, you will have to use a clogged drain cleaning service sooner or later. And, of course, it is best to order this service well in advance before you have severe problems with clogged drains.

Most clogged drains occur gradually due to natural causes, including all sorts of waste products you use at home and mineral constituents in tap water. But sometimes kitchen and shower drains can become clogged suddenly and unintentionally if you accidentally drop a foreign object down them. Most of the time, it could be jewellery such as rings, earrings, bracelets, etc. To accurately retrieve these expensive things for you, it is better to call a specialist.

Kitchen Stack Drainage

The kitchen stack is part of the home’s vertical drainage system, connecting directly to horizontal waste lines. It handles all the waste water from your kitchen, and because of the substances that go down the drain (like oils and fats), it’s prone to clogging more than other stacks.

Signs of a Clogged Kitchen Stack

• Slow Draining: Water backs up in the sink and takes longer to drain.
• Unpleasant Odors: Foul smells emanate from the sink indicating build-up inside the stack.
• Gurgling Sounds: Noises from the drain as water struggles to pass through the blockage.

How to Clean Kitchen Stack Drainage

1. Preparation:
   • Clear out under the sink and any areas where plumbing work will occur.
   • Have buckets and towels ready for any water spillage.
2. Mechanical Cleaning:
   • Use a plumber’s snake or drain auger to physically remove blockages. Insert the tool into the drain pipe under the sink, and push it down until you feel resistance, then twist and push to break through the clog.
   • For deep blockages, access the main stack cleanout—a Y-shaped fitting that can be unscrewed to allow for deeper access into the vertical stack.
3. Chemical Cleaning:
   • Utilize a biochemical drain cleaner that’s safe for home plumbing systems. These cleaners use enzymes to break down organic material without damaging pipes.
   • Avoid harsh chemical cleaners as they can erode plumbing and harm the environment.
4. Flushing the System:
   • After mechanically and chemically loosening debris, flush the system with a large volume of hot water to clear out any remaining residue.
5. Professional Cleaning:
   • If DIY methods do not resolve the issue, or if you are uncomfortable performing these tasks, hiring a professional plumber is recommended. They have specialized tools like hydro-jetting machines that can effectively clear severe blockages and accumulated grease.

Preventative Measures

• Regular Maintenance: Perform light cleaning regularly by flushing the stack with hot water weekly.
• Dispose of Grease Properly: Never pour grease down the drain. Instead, collect it in a container and dispose of it with solid waste.
• Use Strainers: Install strainers in sink drains to catch food particles and prevent them from entering the drainage system.

Possible Causes of Clogged Kitchen Drains

The main reason for the gradual clogging of the kitchen drain is a vegetable and animal fat accumulating overtime on the pipe’s walls. It happens even though you use the most effective grease-dissolving agents when you wash dishes. Over time, the layer of this water-insoluble grease gets thicker and thicker. And this, in turn, creates conditions for food scraps and other items that fall down the drain to stick. These can be kitchen towel scraps, labels, hair, etc.

Our company performs a cleaning clogged kitchen sink drain chemically and mechanically, depending on the nature and extent of the contamination.

Possible Causes of Clogged Shower Drains

The main reason for a clogged shower drain, bathtub or bathroom sink is hair plugs and items of personal hygiene. Hair gets down the drain one way or another, and it’s hard to fight it. But at least try not to drop cotton swabs, dental floss, Band-Aids, and other items that belong in the garbage can go down there.

Cleaning a clogged shower drain is usually done mechanically with special plumbing tools.
