Common causes of a clogged kitchen drain
Fat deposits: Fat residue from pans and pots settles in the pipes.
Food scraps: Vegetable or dough scraps clog the pipe, especially when combined with fat.
Hair & dirt: Even small particles can collect in the siphon and block the drain.
Immediate measures for emergencies
Hot water: Pouring boiling water slowly into the drain often helps to dissolve grease.
Plunger: Effective for minor blockages in the siphon area.
Mechanical cleaning: A pipe snake can remove deeper blockages.
⚠️ Chemical drain cleaners are only recommended to a limited extent, as they can damage pipes and often only have a short-term effect.
Professional solutions
If home remedies do not help, professional assistance is required:
High-pressure flushing: Reliably removes even stubborn deposits, grease, and limescale.
Milling technology: Ideal for root ingrowth or very stubborn blockages.
TV camera inspection: Shows exactly where the problem is without drilling or damaging pipes.

A clogged kitchen drain is annoying, but in most cases easy to fix. With regular maintenance, smart precautions, and professional assistance in an emergency, your kitchen will remain free of clogs. Trust experienced professionals for fast, clean, and lasting solutions.
