FAQs
What are the most common reasons a kitchen sink clogs in Delano?
In Delano homes we typically find that grease, cooking oils, soap scum, and food scraps (especially rice, pasta, coffee grounds, and fibrous vegetables) build up on the inner walls of the drain pipe. Over time the passageway narrows until water can’t flow freely. Occasionally a foreign object such as a utensil or bottle cap slips past the strainer and creates an immediate blockage.
Do you provide clogged-sink service throughout Delano and the surrounding area?
Yes. Our licensed plumbers cover all of Delano, from the downtown core and Main Street corridor to the newer subdivisions north of County Road 30. We also handle calls in nearby communities such as Independence, Maple Plain, Rockford, and the rest of western Hennepin and eastern Wright counties—usually with no extra travel fee.
How fast can you get my kitchen drain flowing again?
During normal business hours we can usually dispatch a plumber within 2–4 hours of your call. An average kitchen sink clog takes 30–60 minutes to diagnose and clear with a cable auger or hydro-jet. If you need after-hours emergency service, our on-call technician can be at most Delano addresses within 60 minutes.
Are store-bought chemical drain cleaners safe to use?
Liquid drain cleaners can sometimes dissolve minor grease clogs, but they rarely solve the root problem and can corrode older galvanized or cast-iron pipes. If the product doesn’t clear the blockage, the standing chemical solution becomes a hazard for you and the plumber who eventually opens the drain. We recommend avoiding harsh chemicals and letting a professional mechanically clear the line.
What does professional drain opening cost in Delano?
For a routine residential kitchen sink we offer flat-rate pricing that starts at $129, which includes the service call, mechanical snaking up to 25 ft, and a camera inspection to confirm the line is clean. Hydro-jetting, disposal removal, or repairs to damaged piping are priced separately. We provide an up-front written estimate before any work begins.
How can I prevent my kitchen sink from clogging again?
1) Wipe grease from pans with a paper towel and place it in the trash instead of rinsing it down the drain. 2) Use a mesh sink strainer to catch food particles. 3) Run cold water for 10–15 seconds before and after you use the garbage disposal. 4) Once a month, flush the drain with a kettle of hot (not boiling) water followed by a cup of baking soda and white vinegar. 5) Schedule a professional drain inspection every two years if your home has an older plumbing system.
