Common kitchen plumbing problems

Clogged and slow kitchen drains

The kitchen drain is the one most prone to clogging, because grease and food build up inside it. We clear it properly, and for heavy grease we use hydro jetting. See clogged drain repair.

Leaks under the sink

Leaks at the supply lines, drain connections, or garbage disposal quietly damage the cabinet and floor. We find and fix them.

Faucet problems

Drips, low pressure, and worn sprayers on the kitchen faucet are common. See faucet repair.

Garbage disposal issues

Jams, leaks, and dead disposals back up the sink. See garbage disposal repair.

Dishwasher and appliance connections

We connect and repair dishwasher lines, ice maker lines, and refrigerator water lines, and fix the leaks that come from bad connections.

Low water pressure

Weak flow at the kitchen faucet can be a clogged aerator or a bigger pipe issue we can diagnose.

Why does my kitchen sink keep clogging?

The kitchen sink clogs more than any other drain for one main reason: grease. Cooking fat and oil go down as a liquid, then cool and harden inside the pipe, catching food scraps and building up until the drain slows or stops. Starchy foods like pasta and rice, coffee grounds, and fibrous scraps make it worse.
In older Hickory homes with aging cast iron kitchen lines, the inside of the pipe is already rough, so grease grabs on even faster. The fix is to clear it properly, and for heavy buildup, hydro jet the line clean rather than just punching through. The prevention is simple: keep grease out of the sink entirely, let it cool and throw it away.

A kitchen remodel is a major investment, and the plumbing needs to be right. We handle the plumbing side:

Local factors for kitchen plumbing in Hickory

Older cast iron lines. Kitchens in the historic districts and older neighborhoods often drain through aging cast iron that grabs grease and clogs, sometimes calling for cleaning or repiping.
Soft city water. Hickory’s soft city water is gentle on kitchen fixtures and reduces scale on faucets and aerators compared to hard-water areas. See does Hickory have hard water.
Well water. On a well, sediment or hardness can affect fixtures and filtration needs, where water treatment helps.
Grease habits. The single biggest cause of kitchen clogs we see, and an easy one to prevent.
