Blocked Kitchen drain is a common issue in households, especially in Adelaide. Believe amidst all the plumbing issues, we get maximum complaints of the blockage in the kitchen drains. We suggest our customers avoid throwing any kitchen waste in the drains, instead use garbage bin. A bit of leftover in the drainage system can create a problem. Do not throw any grease or coffee ground inside the kitchen sink. Even Grease in case thrown with the hot water can stop and congeal. Coffee grounds can get stuck and block the way of water into the drain. Do not also throw the food rich in starch like pasta, potatoes, rice, celery, and even corn husks inside the drainage system.

Take care of the kitchen sink as you take care of the other household items in your home. Though blockage is an inevitable thing, dealing with it can cause a big problem in the future. But the issue should not prolong for long, as lesser the problem, quick is the solution.

Precautions to take to avoid kitchen blockage

Do not throw fat, oil, or anything sticky down the drains.

When you throw the excessive oil grease, oil, and fat down the sink after cooking, the materials are cooled, solidify and ultimately get stuck on the pipe. With time kitchen sinks get blocked and then required the help of a professional plumber.

It is better to seal the excess oil and the oil grease into the sealed container, reuse it or throw it in the trash. If you want to wash it into the drain, do the same in little quantity but with hot water and detergent. In this way, it is broken and will not stick to the pipes.

Avoid washing food scrapes in the drain.

 As leftovers and food particles are the common cause of blockages, so never let these food scrapes get down into the drainage system. Buy a drainer plug and place the same over the sinkhole to collect the food particles, or you can also use garbage disposals. Never throw the following food particles even by mistake inside the drain like

• Rice
• Pasta
• Cereal
• Coffee grounds
• Egg Shells
• Potato skin
• Starchy food
• Meet pieces
• Pasta and other noodles

Use Garbage Disposal

Using Garbage disposal is the best thing to do while working in a kitchen. It helps in protecting drains from getting blocked. These disposals grind the food waste to get the same easily washed without causing any blockage, but it has limited use and is not best for many types of food waste.

Clean the drain once a week

Do not forget to clean the drain at least once a week. To fulfill this purpose, pour a kettle of hot water inside the kitchen sink drain to melt the kitchen grease accumulated around the pipes. It will also loosen the food particles that have mistakenly entered into the drainage system and got stuck on the piping system.
