Kitchen Sink Unblocking Across Manchester
A slow or blocked kitchen sink is one of the most common plumbing calls we get. AquaDash clears kitchen sinks across Manchester, including Didsbury, Chorlton, Fallowfield, Withington, Levenshulme, Gorton, Wythenshawe, Cheetham Hill, the Northern Quarter and the city centre, at any time of day or night.
Why kitchen sinks block
Grease is the main culprit. Cooking fat, oil and food scraps go down the plughole as a warm liquid, then cool and coat the inside of the waste pipe, catching more debris every day until the water can barely get past. Coffee grounds, rice, pasta and soap residue make it worse. Hot water alone only moves the problem further down the pipe, where it sets again.
How we clear it
We start at the trap under the sink, the most common place for a blockage to sit, then use a drain snake or an electric drain machine to clear the pipe beyond it. For heavy grease build-up we use high-pressure water jetting. We avoid caustic chemical cleaners, which are harsh on skin, older pipework and seals.
Student houses, flats and restaurants
In busy shared houses in Fallowfield and Withington, a kitchen waste pipe takes a great deal of use, and in flats a blockage may affect a shared stack. Manchester also has plenty of cafes, restaurants and takeaways, from the Northern Quarter to Rusholme, where grease-heavy waste needs regular clearing. We attend commercial kitchens as well as homes.
