A clogged kitchen sink can bring cooking, cleaning, and daily routines to a halt. John The Plumber Ottawa provides fast, professional clogged kitchen sink services to safely remove blockages and restore proper drainage.
Whether your kitchen sink is draining slowly, backing up with dirty water, or completely blocked, our licensed plumbers can identify the cause and clear the clog without damaging your pipes. We service kitchen sinks in Ottawa homes, condos, apartments, and commercial kitchens.
If the blockage extends beyond the sink, we also provide full drain cleaning services and advanced diagnostics such as camera inspection for plumbing. For urgent backups, our team is available through 24-hour emergency plumbing services.
Kitchen sink clogs are often more stubborn than bathroom clogs due to grease and food waste. John The Plumber Ottawa frequently clears blockages caused by:
Grease & Fat Buildup:
Cooking grease, oils, and fats harden inside pipes over time, narrowing the drain and trapping debris.
Food Scraps:
Even small food particles can accumulate, especially in homes without proper strainers or with heavy sink usage.
Soap & Detergent Residue:
Dish soaps can combine with grease and minerals to create thick sludge inside drain pipes.
Garbage Disposal Issues:
Improper use of garbage disposals can lead to jammed blades and blocked drain lines. We also provide garbage disposal repair when needed.
Aging or Partially Blocked Drain Lines:
Older Ottawa homes may have narrowing pipes or buildup deeper in the system that requires professional drain service.
When you call John The Plumber Ottawa, you get a professional, step-by-step approach focused on long-term results.
1. Inspection & Diagnosis
We inspect the sink, trap, disposal (if present), and drain line to locate the blockage.
2. Professional Clog Removal
We safely remove grease, food buildup, and debris using professional tools — never harsh chemicals that can damage pipes.
3. Drain Flow Testing
After clearing the clog, we test drainage to ensure water flows freely.
4. Deeper Drain Solutions (If Required)
If the clog extends beyond the kitchen sink, we may recommend drain cleaning or hydro jetting for thorough pipe cleaning.
5. Cleanup & Prevention Guidance
We leave the work area clean and provide tips to help prevent future kitchen sink clogs.
