November brings big meals and a lot of cooking in the kitchen. This often means more food scraps, grease, and oil going down the sink drain. Many people think hot water will wash grease away, but the grease cools down as it travels through the pipes. When it cools, it turns into a solid block that sticks to the walls of the pipe. Over time, other food bits get stuck to this grease, making the opening for water smaller and smaller. This can lead to a completely blocked sink right when you have guests or are trying to cook a large dinner. Our technicians use professional tools to clean the entire pipe, not just poke a hole through the clog. We have equipment that scrubs the inside of the drain to remove the built-up grease and food waste. This restores the pipe so water can flow quickly again. We also check the garbage disposal to make sure it is grinding food properly and not causing jams further down the line. Proper cleaning prevents dirty water from backing up into your clean kitchen sink. Chemical drain cleaners from the store can damage your pipes and often do not solve the real problem. They sit on top of the clog without removing the grease buildup. Our professionals provide a safe and effective solution that protects your plumbing system. Make sure your kitchen is ready for heavy use this season. Contact Keep Smiling Plumbing Electric Heating and Cooling to book your kitchen drain cleaning service.
