What Causes Your Sink To Be Blocked?
A blocked kitchen sink can happen over time, and you mostly only notice the blockage when a foul odour lingers around the drain or water does not flow easily. A clogged sink can occur for many reasons.
- Over time, even with a drain trap, grease (especially bacon grease), debris, dirt, food scraps, paper towels, or food wrappers accumulate in your kitchen drain, causing a blockage. These common causes of blockage hinder the drain’s smooth functioning. When grease goes down the kitchen sink, it solidifies and forms large clumps.
- Grease and fat can accumulate inside the drainpipe or the kitchen drain’s p trap, causing blockages and overflowing the affected plumbing fixture. They also result in everything turning smelly, messy, and unclean. Grease, oil, and fat are typical by-products of foods or cooking processes like meats, food scraps, dairy products, butter, coffee grounds, rice, eggshells, fat-based soaps, and detergents. Anything else that comes from food or is used for cooking can cause a grease-clogged pipe.
- The kitchen sink clogs can also be the result of faulty plumbing. Mistakes can happen when installing plumbing fixtures. At times, the kitchen sink pipes collapse or cracks appear, which cause damage to your property. So, if you have a drain trap and you still get a clogged drain even if it’s newly installed, it might be a case of improper plumbing installation.
Determining what’s causing your blocked kitchen drain is essential to unclogging a kitchen sink. Hence, a clogged drain pipe or a blockage in the P trap isn’t something that you can ignore. When you notice the tell-tale signs of a blocked drain or sink, such as nasty smells, loud gurgling noises, or slow water draining, it’s time to contact a trusted plumbing agency.

Can You Tackle The Blocked Drain Yourself?
There’s nothing more annoying than a blocked kitchen sink, especially when you’re in the middle of cooking or cleaning up. Given how often your kitchen gets used, it’s no surprise this is one of the most common household plumbing issues.
When the water refuses to drain, your first instinct might be to fix it yourself. Pouring boiling water down the sink might seem like a quick fix-but if you’ve got PVC pipes, that heat can do more harm than good. Some people swear by the old baking soda and vinegar trick (white or apple cider vinegar works best), while others head straight to the hardware store for a bottle of chemical drain cleaner.
If it’s a minor blockage, you can sort it out yourself. There are a few DIY tricks worth trying:
Use a drain snake, wire coat hanger, or even a plunger to dislodge the clog.
Block off any overflow spouts or second plug holes if you have a double sink.
First, remove any standing water, then pour in a mixture of hot water (not boiling if you have plastic pipes), half a cup of vinegar, and a full cup of baking soda.
Install a drain trap to help stop food waste from causing future blockages.
Another tried-and-true method is using a plunger. Before you start, check your garbage disposal (if you’ve got one) and place a bucket underneath to catch any spills. Create a tight seal with the plunger and give it a few strong pumps. If you see the water finally draining away, you’ve done it.
That said, these DIY solutions don’t always work. What seems like a small issue on the surface could be hiding a more serious plumbing problem deeper down. And while baking soda mixtures, drain snakes, or warm water flushes can be effective, they might just be treating the symptoms-not the cause.
If you’ve tried everything and your sink still won’t budge, or the clog keeps returning, it’s probably time to call a licensed plumber. Not only will they clear the blockage properly, but they can also check for any underlying issues you might not spot on your own. And in the long run, that could save you time, stress, and money.
Let’s Unblock Your Kitchen Sink!
To lessen clogging incidents in your kitchen, be mindful of the waste you throw and what goes into your garbage disposal. Create proper garbage disposal for leftover food. Garbage disposal is intended for something other than coffee grounds, seeds, pits, and nuts, creating havoc on filters and drains. Also, long peels or stringy vegetables like celery and corn husks can get wrapped around the blades and accelerate build-up in the drain. If you’ve got garbage disposal, ensure you don’t overload it. And keep periodic maintenance to clean your garbage disposal.
Although it may be impossible to avoid grease buildups in the kitchen pipe or the P trap, a little discipline can help prevent clogs from happening again.
