Kitchen clogs we clear in Orland Park
A plunger moves water; it doesn't remove a grease plug. Our crews in Orland Park open the line at the trap or a cleanout, cable or jet it clean and run hot water through to make sure it flows freely.
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.
Drain cleaner didn't work
Caustic cleaners can attack old pipe and fittings and don't remove the grease along the pipe walls. A cable or jetter does.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Disposal backing up into the sink
When the disposal runs and water comes up the other bowl, the line below is clogged. Food waste piles up where the pipe narrows.
Our cleaning checklist
- Diagnose the clogWe ask what drains slow, run water and figure out where the blockage sits.
- Protect the kitchenFloors and cabinets covered so dirty water stays contained.
- Open the lineWe remove the trap or open a cleanout to get the cable into the line.
- Cable the drainA drain cable with a cutter head clears grease and food through the branch line.
- Water jetting when suitableJetting for heavy grease or recurring clogs, used only on pipe in good condition.
- Trap and connections resetTrap reinstalled with new washers if needed and every joint checked.
- Flow testWe fill and drain the sink to make sure it empties at full speed.
