Why Kitchen Drains Are the Most Frequently Clogged

 A Word from DoctorDrain :

 When it comes to clogged drains, the kitchen sink takes the top spot.

 Why?

Think about it: this drain handles everything from grease and food particles to soap scum and even the occasional stray utensil. Over time, these small offenders build up, creating stubborn blockages that can turn a simple wash-up into a messy inconvenience.

1. Grease Buildup: Cooking oils and grease may start as liquids, but as they cool, they solidify and cling to your pipes. With each wash, layers stack up until water can barely squeeze through.

2. Food Scraps: Tiny bits of food may seem harmless, but they gather over time. Even with a garbage disposal, items like coffee grounds, pasta, and fibrous veggies (hello, celery!) can clog up the works.

3. Soap Scum: The oils and fats in dish soaps mix with minerals in the water, creating a filmy residue that clings to the pipe walls, narrowing the drain passage over time.

4. Foreign Objects: From bits of paper towels to the occasional forgotten spoon, objects end up in the kitchen sink, creating instant obstructions.
