Kitchen drains clog differently from bathroom drains. The cause is almost always grease, which goes down as a liquid and hardens on the pipe wall as it cools. Food particles stick to the grease, and over months the opening narrows until the sink stops draining.
Cooking grease, oil and fat. Coffee grounds. Rice, pasta and potato peels, which swell and turn to paste. Eggshells and fibrous scraps. Soap residue that binds with grease. Hot water and dish soap move grease further down the line but do not remove it.
If the disposal hums but water stands in the sink, the clog is usually in the drain line or trap after the disposal, not in the unit itself. Run cold water, press the reset button on the bottom of the unit, and never reach inside. If both sides of a double sink fill, the shared line is blocked. A sink and garbage disposal clogged at the same time point to a blockage past the spot where the two connect.
The trap under the sink is checked and cleared first. A cable is then run through the branch line to open the clog. Lines coated with grease are best cleaned with hydro jetting, which strips the pipe wall instead of leaving a narrow channel.
Wipe greasy pans with a paper towel before washing. Collect cooking oil in a container and put it in the trash. Use a sink strainer. Run cold water while the disposal is on and for several seconds after. Skip the chemical drain cleaner.
A kitchen sink drain often carries more than dishwater. The dishwasher, the garbage disposal, and the drain line from a reverse osmosis (RO) filter under the sink can all tie into the same pipe. Dishwashers and RO systems are meant to drain through an air gap so dirty water cannot siphon back into them, and many homes have that connection set up in a way that does not meet code. While we are under the sink, we check those connections and tell you if something needs attention. See water softener and RO drain lines for how those connections should be set up.

FAQ
Have questions about your sewer or drain system? Call us and we will help you figure out the best next step.
+
Remove the strainer or stopper, clear visible debris, and run hot water. If the sink is still slow, clean the P-trap underneath. Grease clogs further down the line need a cable or jetting.
+
Most often a grease and food clog in the trap or the branch line behind the wall. If the dishwasher also backs up into the sink, the clog is past the point where the two connect.
+
The dishwasher drains through the same line as the sink. A partial clog cannot keep up with the volume, so water comes up in the sink.
+
Hot water may soften a light grease clog, but it often just moves the grease further down the pipe. Avoid boiling water with plastic pipes or a porcelain sink.
+
Both basins share one drain line. When both fill, the clog is in that shared line or beyond it.
