Plumbing Tip #14: Preventing your kitchen sink drain from getting stuck

Kitchen sinks are the most frequently used drains in a person’s home and it is due to this reason that the drain is most likely to get clogged. Common causes of clogged kitchen drains are food scraps, the build up of sludge from grease, soap and other particles. One way to prevent this problem is to use a plunger, which is an old time proven drain clearing appliance. Make sure the plunger you are using has a suction cup large enough to cover the drain opening and to ensure a tight seal, coat the rims of the plunger with a lubricant. You must use 20 to 25 forceful strokes to ensure it works.
