FAQs
What are the most common causes of kitchen sink clogs in Ocoee homes?
In Ocoee, kitchen sink blockages are usually the result of grease buildup, food scraps like rice or pasta that swell with moisture, fibrous produce such as celery or onion skins, and coffee grounds. Hard water minerals in our local supply can also combine with grease to form a sticky film inside the pipe. Over time these materials narrow the drain line until water flow is completely restricted.
How do you clear a clogged kitchen sink drain?
Our technicians start with a visual inspection and a short test to locate the exact blockage point. For minor clogs, we may use a hand-held auger or a high-pressure plunger. Stubborn obstructions are removed with a professional drain-snaking machine that can reach deep into the pipe without harming it. If grease buildup is severe, we follow up with an eco-friendly enzymatic cleaner or optional hydro-jetting to scour the pipe walls clean. We finish by checking drain flow and resealing the trap to make sure everything is watertight.
How much does professional kitchen sink drain opening cost in Ocoee?
For a straightforward kitchen sink clog within easy reach, pricing starts at about $125–$175, which includes the service call, inspection, and basic snaking. More complex jobs—such as clogs beyond 20 feet, severe grease blockages, or hydro-jetting—can range from $200 to $350. We provide an upfront, flat-rate quote before any work begins, so there are no surprises on your final invoice.
How long will it take to unclog my kitchen sink?
Most kitchen sink clogs are cleared in 30–45 minutes once we arrive, including setup and cleanup. If the blockage is further down the main line or requires hydro-jetting, plan for about 60–90 minutes. Same-day service is available in Ocoee, and emergency calls are typically reached within 60 minutes of dispatch.
Will drain opening damage my pipes or garbage disposal?
No. We use industry-approved, non-corrosive methods. Our drain cables are flexible enough to navigate PVC, copper, or cast-iron lines without scraping. Hydro-jetting uses controlled pressure adjusted to your pipe material to avoid etching or cracking. We also disconnect the garbage disposal (if present) before snaking to protect its impellers and seals, then test it afterward to confirm proper operation.
How can I prevent future kitchen sink clogs?
• Never pour grease or cooking oil down the drain—collect it in a container and dispose of it in the trash. • Run cold water for 15–20 seconds before and after using your garbage disposal to flush debris. • Avoid grinding fibrous or starchy foods; compost them instead. • Once a month, flush the drain with a half-cup of baking soda followed by a cup of white vinegar, then rinse with hot water. • Install a stainless-steel sink strainer to catch food particles. • Schedule annual preventive drain cleaning with a licensed Ocoee plumber to keep buildup at bay.
