What points to the cause
Symptoms & cause
Kitchen sinks block with fat and food scraps, while bathroom and laundry basins block with hair and soap. The water drains slowly, gurgles, or backs up into the other side of a double sink.
The right method
How it gets fixed
The trap and waste line are cleared by augering or jetting to suit the build-up, then flow tested so the sink empties freely again.
Service focus
Clear the trap, check the line
A blocked sink is cleared at the trap or the waste line beyond it, with augering or jetting to suit the build-up, then flow tested.

Questions people ask
Why does my kitchen sink keep blocking?
Kitchen sinks block when fat, oil, and food scraps cool and harden on the pipe wall. Clearing the line and keeping fats out of the drain helps stop it returning.
My double sink backs up into the other side — why?
Both bowls share one waste line, so a blockage past the trap pushes water up into the other bowl. The shared line needs clearing, not just the trap.
