Why does My Mount Prospect Kitchen Drain Keep Clogging?

Kitchen sink drains are more likely to clog than bathroom sink drains because there’s more clog-causing matter going down them – namely cooking oils, grease, and sticky food residue. Food waste is the primary culprit, with things like eggshells, coffee grounds, rice grains, fruit seeds/pits, and tiny bits contributing to the kind of masses that mix with oil and grease to cause serious clogs. These problems can be worsened if you improperly use your garbage disposal by putting fibrous foods down there or overloading it. Like all sinks, kitchen sinks also have soap scum and mineral buildup to contend with over time. As these things build up, they can narrow pipes, leading to slow draining water and clogs.

When your kitchen sink gets stopped up, there are a number of home tricks you can use to try, such as combining baking soda and vinegar inside the drain, running hot water with dish soap down, and using a sink plunger’s suction action to break up the clog. However, if these DIY clog solutions don’t work (or the clog keeps returning), you’ll need to call a local Mount Prospect plumber to come fix it.
