A lot of people think that if the kitchen sink is clogged, you just clean the P-trap and garbage disposal and you’re good to go. Or maybe run a 25–35 ft snake and call it a day. But here’s the truth: kitchen lines are the most stubborn and grease-packed drains in the house. Over the years, grease, food particles, oils, coffee grounds, and soap buildup stick to the inside of the pipe and turn into a thick layer. Many times, the P-trap is completely clean – and the real blockage is 15–30 feet inside the wall. This is why a small snake is often not enough. In more than half of kitchen drain jobs, a 35-ft snake simply won’t reach the clog – or it only pokes a tiny hole, and the drain clogs again in a week or two. That’s why for serious kitchen clogs we use:
✅ 75-ft professional drain snake
✅ Large cutting head to remove grease buildup
✅ Camera inspection to verify the line
✅ Chain snake machine – spinning chain that scrapes grease, calcium and rust clean from the pipe walls (not just punches through)
A cheap, small snake just drills a hole. We remove the grease layer completely. Signs you need a professional kitchen line cleaning:
• Sink drains slowly or not at all
• Gurgling or bubbling sounds
• Bad smell from the drain
• Dishwasher backing up
• Water coming up in the second sink If you’ve already tried cleaning the P-trap and disposal, or someone ran a short snake and it clogged again – you most likely have heavy grease buildup deeper in the line.
We do it the right way:
✔️ Full-length snake (up to 75 ft)
✔️ Chain cleaning when needed
✔️ Grease-cutting head
✔️ Long-term fix – not a temporary hole Need real kitchen drain cleaning in Frisco, Plano, McKinney, Allen, Prosper, or nearby? Call anytime – we handle the jobs the small snakes can’t.
