What are the top 5 causes for kitchen sink drain issues?
1. Clogged drain pipe: This is the most common cause of a kitchen sink not draining. Usually, debris such as food particles, soap scum, and hair can accumulate and clog the drain line.
2. Blocked vent pipe: If the vent pipe that runs from the drain to the roof is blocked, it can cause the sink to backup.
4. Grease buildup: Grease buildup in the drain line can cause the sink to backup.
3. Sewer line clog: If the sewer line is clogged, it can back up into the sink.
5. Damaged or improperly installed P-trap: A P-trap is the curved pipe under the sink that prevents sewer gas from entering the house. If it is damaged or improperly installed, it can cause the sink to backup.
