Kitchen clogs we clear in Hanover Park
Kitchen clogs are mostly grease, food and soap that build up in the line beyond the trap. In Hanover Park we clear them with a drain cable or, when the pipe can take it, a water jetter, and tell you what we found so the clog doesn't keep coming back.
Dishwasher not draining or backing up
Water left in the dishwasher after a cycle often means the kitchen drain is slow, not that the machine is broken.
Both sides of the double sink clogged
When one side fills while you drain the other, the blockage is downstream of the tee. Clearing the trap alone won't fix it.
Water standing in the sink
A sink full of gray water means the drain is close to fully blocked. We open the line and clear it to the full pipe diameter.
Home remedies made no difference
Baking soda and vinegar fizz but don't break up a grease clog. Boiling water can help a little on new pipe and is risky on old fittings.
Water coming up in the basement
When several fixtures act up together, the problem is shared pipe. We tell you whether it's the kitchen line or the main sewer.
Clog that keeps coming back
A kitchen drain that clogs every few months has a cause: heavy grease, a sagging pipe, narrowed old pipe or a line that was only poked through. A camera shows which.
Clogged past the P-trap
Once the trap is ruled out, the clog sits in the pipe you can't see. That is where our equipment does the work.

Kitchen Drain Cleaning questions from Hanover Park homeowners
What affects the price of kitchen drain cleaning?
Access, the method and the severity of the buildup. You get a clear estimate before we start.
Do baking soda and vinegar work?
They can freshen a drain but don't dissolve a real grease clog.
Do you also repair drain pipes?
Yes, damaged sections can be replaced after the line is cleaned and inspected.
Is professional drain cleaning worth it?
When plunging and home remedies don't work, a cable or jetter clears what they can't reach.
Snaking or hydro-jetting?
We decide by the pipe and the clog: cable for most jobs, jetting where grease is heavy and the pipe can take it.
Hanover Park building permit for drain cleaning: where do I apply?
Permits go through Inspectional Services Division (Hanover Park Fire Department), phone 630-823-5860. When your scope needs one, we prepare the application and schedule the inspections.
