A completely backed-up kitchen sink is one of those problems that stops everything. You can't do dishes, you can't prep food, and the longer it sits, the worse it gets. That dark, murky standing water pooled from edge to edge - that's what we walked into on this Oregon City job.
What causes a backup like this? Usually it's a combination of grease, soap buildup, and food debris that's been slowly narrowing the drain line over time. It doesn't happen overnight. The drain gets a little slower, then a little slower, and then one day it just stops altogether. That's when we get the call.
We got the drain fully cleared and flowing again. The sink basin went from completely flooded with black, greasy water to a clean, dry basin with water draining freely. No guesswork, no Band-Aid fixes - just a properly cleared line. This is the kind of residential drain cleaning work we do regularly for Oregon City homeowners.
For tougher blockages, hydro-jet drain cleaning is one of the most effective tools available. Rather than just punching a hole through a clog, hydro-jetting uses high-pressure water to fully clear the pipe walls - grease, buildup, and all. It's a more thorough solution that lasts longer than standard snaking in a lot of cases.
If your kitchen sink is draining slowly, gurgling after use, or backing up entirely, that's the drain telling you something. Slow drains don't fix themselves - they just get worse over time.
