Slow Drains Usually Mean Buildup
A kitchen sink that drains slowly over weeks or months is usually collecting grease and soap residue on the pipe walls. It is progressive and can be cleared with hydro-jetting before it becomes a full blockage.
A Full Clog Means Water Is Stopped
When water sits in the sink or tub and does not move at all, you have a full blockage. This is more urgent because it often indicates a larger mass — or in the main line, a root intrusion or broken pipe.
Multiple Drains Slow at Once
If your kitchen sink, bathroom, and laundry drain all seem slow at the same time, the problem is almost certainly in the main sewer line rather than individual fixture traps. That requires a camera inspection to diagnose correctly.
Why Drain Cleaners Often Fail
Chemical drain cleaners can punch through soft clogs temporarily but do not remove grease and debris from pipe walls. The clog returns within weeks. Mechanical clearing or hydro-jetting addresses the actual buildup.
