Kitchen clogs we clear in Bolingbrook
Standing water in the sink, both sides backed up, a gurgle when the dishwasher drains: we clean kitchen drains in Bolingbrook from the trap to the stack and check whether the problem is in the branch line or further down.
Water coming up in the basement
If the floor drain or a basement fixture backs up when you run the kitchen sink, the clog is likely in the main line, not the kitchen branch.
Clog that keeps coming back
When the same sink backs up again and again, we inspect the line with a camera and fix the reason, not just the symptom.
Dishwasher not draining or backing up
The dishwasher drains into the sink line. When that line clogs, dirty water stays in the dishwasher or shows up in the sink.
Disposal backing up into the sink
A disposal grinds food but doesn't make it disappear. If the drain is half full of grease, the ground food stops there.
Gurgling and bad smell
Gurgling while water drains means air is being pulled through a restricted or poorly vented line. Smells come from rotting buildup inside the pipe.
Water standing in the sink
When the sink holds water and drains in minutes or not at all, the line past the trap is usually coated with grease. A cable or jetter cuts it loose.
Home remedies made no difference
If you've tried plunging, baking soda and hot water and the sink is still slow, the clog is beyond what they can reach.

Kitchen Drain Cleaning questions from Bolingbrook homeowners
How do I keep my kitchen drain from clogging?
Keep grease, coffee grounds, rice and pasta out of the sink, use a strainer and run hot water after the disposal.

Both bowls share one drain after the tee. A blockage there backs up both.
