What causes a kitchen sink to clog?+
Common causes include grease, food particles, soap residue, and buildup in the trap or drain line. The likely cause depends on how quickly the sink drains and whether other fixtures are affected.
Can I try a plunger first?+
For a minor sink clog, a sink plunger may help. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions, avoid mixing drain chemicals, and stop if water backs up elsewhere or the problem worsens.
Should I use chemical drain cleaner?+
Use caution. Some products can damage plumbing, create hazardous splashes, or complicate later service. Never mix drain chemicals, and tell a technician if a product has already been used.
Why does my kitchen sink keep clogging?+
A recurring clog can mean residue remains in the line, the blockage is farther downstream, or the drain has another restriction. Repeated temporary clearing may not address the underlying cause.
What if both sides of my double sink are backed up?+
The blockage may be in a shared section of the drain or near the trap. Avoid running more water until the cause is checked.
What should I do if the sink is overflowing?+
Stop running water and turn off the disposal if safe. Keep electrical items away from standing water and avoid using the sink until the blockage is addressed.
