Clogged Kitchen Drains
What’s more frustrating than when your sink and kitchen drain gets clogged? Food and debris can create blockages that stop water from draining freely. If these clogs aren’t addressed quickly, further damage and erosion of your home’s drain pipes and fixtures may occur. If you’ve noticed a slow-draining sink or appliance in your home’s kitchen then you should contact a plumber to clear any clogs and correct the root cause of your issues.
Diagnosing Kitchen Drain Issues
The most telling sign of a clog in your kitchen’s drain pipes is standing water in your sink basic. A fully clogged kitchen sink drain will fail to allow any water to drain, creating standing water situations in your fixtures. Such standing water is prone to collect bacteria, often creating foul odors and unsanitary conditions in your home. Kitchen sinks and drains that are partially clogged may be harder to diagnose on your own. Slow draining water, unusual sounds and odors, and eroded pipe fittings are all signs of a more discreet, partial clog.
