FAQs
What are the most common causes of kitchen drain clogs in Dunlap homes?
Kitchen drain blockages are usually the result of grease buildup, food scraps (especially fibrous materials like celery or potato peels), coffee grounds, and soap scum combining with mineral deposits in Dunlap’s hard water. Over time, these materials coat the inside of your kitchen line, narrowing the pipe until water can no longer pass through freely.
How does your team open and clean a clogged kitchen line?
We begin with a visual inspection and, if needed, a video camera inspection to locate the exact blockage. Depending on what we find, we’ll use a professional-grade drain auger (snake), hydro-jetting (high-pressure water), or a combination of both to cut through grease, food residue, and mineral deposits. After clearing the line, we flush it thoroughly and run a final camera check to ensure the pipe is completely open.
Is it safe to use store-bought chemical drain cleaners before calling you?
We strongly discourage the use of chemical drain cleaners. These products can generate heat that warps PVC pipes or weakens older metal lines, and the chemicals can linger in the drain—posing a hazard to our technicians if further work is required. In most cases, they provide only temporary relief and can actually worsen grease buildup. Mechanical cleaning or hydro-jetting is safer and far more effective.
How quickly can you respond to a kitchen drain emergency in Dunlap?
We offer same-day and 24/7 emergency service across Dunlap and the surrounding communities. In urgent situations we can typically have a licensed plumber at your door within 60–90 minutes, fully equipped to diagnose and clear the clog on the spot.
What does professional kitchen drain opening cost?
Pricing depends on factors such as the severity of the clog, pipe length, and method required (snaking vs. hydro-jetting). Simple jobs start around $99–$149. More involved cleanings that require camera inspection or jetting range from $250–$450. We provide a flat, upfront quote after the initial assessment, so you never face surprise charges.
How can I prevent future kitchen drain clogs?
• Avoid pouring fats, oils, or grease down the sink—collect them in a heat-safe container and dispose of them in the trash. • Use a sink strainer to catch food particles and empty it into the garbage or compost. • Run cold water for 10–15 seconds before and after using the garbage disposal. • Flush the line with a mixture of hot water and a few drops of dish soap weekly. • Schedule a professional hydro-jetting maintenance service every 1–2 years if you cook frequently or have older pipes.
