What Is The Best Way To Unclog A Kitchen Sink Drain?

The best way to unclog a kitchen sink drain is to start with simple mechanical methods and only step up if needed. Most kitchen clogs come from grease and soap that cool and harden inside the pipe. If basic efforts fail, a professional can use a commercial auger or hydro jetting (over 4000 PSI) to clear built-up debris and restore flow, then verify the fix with a video camera. We clear stubborn kitchen drains around the Santaquin area and provide a 30-day drain-cleaning guarantee.

• Block the other bowl, plunge with hot water, then run the faucet to test.
• For disposals, cut power, remove visible jams, and press the reset.
• Place a bucket, remove and clean the P-trap; call a pro if backups return or spread to other fixtures.

Avoid chemical drain cleaners; they can damage piping and disposal seals.
