How to Use Hot Water to Unclog a Kitchen Sink Drain

There could be many reasons why a kitchen sink gets clogged, but for most people, the cause of the clog is food particles from washing dirty dishes. To avoid a clogged kitchen drain, one should dump scraps of food and trash in the trashcan instead of down the drain. 

A drain trap is a homeowner’s best friend to prevent a clogged kitchen drain by keeping trash and other debris from falling down the drain. Using a garbage disposal can also help prevent a kitchen sink clog by reducing the size of food particles in the drain. 

Sometimes, boiling water and pouring it down the drain can soften whatever is stuck in the drain enough to get washed away down the pipes. Depending on the type of clog, this does not always work. 

Hot water alone may not be enough to completely solve the problem, depending on how serious the clog is. Homeowners should use caution when handling boiling water to avoid burns. To avoid a clog in the main water line, homeowners should consider calling a professional plumber if the DIY solutions do not resolve the kitchen drain clog. 

Pour Baking Soda and Vinegar Down the Drainbaking soda

One of the oldest tricks in the book is combining baking soda and vinegar for heavy-duty cleaning jobs. Combine one cup of baking soda with one cup of vinegar as a safe alternative to liquid drain cleaner. This combo is scientifically proven to be a natural solution to unclogging kitchen sinks. 

When hot water alone is not enough to clear the clog from the kitchen drain, the chemical reaction from vinegar and baking soda may soften the clog enough to wash the debris down the drain. For the best results, homeowners should shut or cover the drain completely after pouring the baking soda and vinegar directly down the drain. 

Save Time By Calling a Professional 

No one knows kitchen plumbing like a professional plumber! Instead of wasting time on DIY solutions, homeowners should always have a trusted local plumber a call away to help with clogged drains and other plumbing emergencies. 

Plumbers have an arsenal of specialized tools to tackle tough jobs like a clogged kitchen drain. Plumbers can use tools like a professional drain snake, also called a drain auger or top snake, to clear the clog quickly.
