Kitchen clogs we clear in Warrenville
A plunger moves water; it doesn't remove a grease plug. Our crews in Warrenville 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.
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.
Clogged past the P-trap
A clear trap with a slow sink means the problem is further in. We run a cable through the drain arm and branch line.
Home remedies made no difference
Plungers and home mixtures work on light blockages near the drain. Buildup deep in the line needs mechanical cleaning.
Dishwasher not draining or backing up
If the sink fills with dishwasher water, the shared drain is restricted. Cleaning it usually fixes both.
Both sides of the double sink clogged
Both basins backing up together tells us the clog is in the shared line. We go in at the wall and clean toward the stack.
Drain cleaner didn't work
If you poured in a liquid cleaner and the sink is still full, tell us before we open the trap. We clear the line mechanically.
Disposal backing up into the sink
Rice, pasta, peels and coffee grounds pack the drain below the disposal. We clear the line and explain what to keep out of it.

- 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.
