Kitchen drains are notorious for getting clogged, turning the simple task of doing dishes into a frustrating predicament. While many factors can contribute to obstructed kitchen drains, one often overlooked factor is the food items that we wash down our sinks. As the expert in drain cleaning in Henderson, NV, Discount Drain Cleaning LV shares the food items that, while seemingly harmless, can lead to substantial blockages over time.
Grease and Oil
Many homeowners habitually pour oil and grease down their kitchen sinks, unaware that this is one of the main culprits for a clogged drain. As these substances cool down, they congeal and stick to pipe walls, creating a buildup that restricts water from flowing freely. Don’t deliberately pour oil or grease down the sink; instead, transfer it to a sealed container and throw it in the trash.
Coffee Grounds
We all love our morning cup of joe, but the kitchen sink is not a place to dispose of coffee grounds. These tiny particles can clump together, forming a dense mass that can clog your drain. To avoid calling for emergency drain cleaning services, put coffee grounds in the trash or use them as compost for your garden.
Pasta and Rice
Starchy foods like pasta and rice expand when exposed to water. These food items can get stuck in the pipes, resulting in blockages that are difficult to remove. Before washing dishes, scrape any leftovers into the trash bin to prevent them from entering your drains.
Eggshells
The thin membrane inside the shell can get stuck in the pipes and trap other debris, causing a blockage. Instead of rinsing eggshells down the sink, dispose of them in the trash or use them as compost.
While your drain cleaning specialist can perform drain snaking and hydro jetting to effectively remove obstructions, it’s best to prevent them from occurring in the first place. Another way to keep your kitchen drains clear is by installing a drain strainer, which can catch food particles before they end up in your pipes.

I had the cartridge in my shower go bad and couldn't shut off my water. I called Walter at 6:00 am. He told me to shut off the water main and waited for him to get to my house and he fixed it in a matter of minutes, about 10-15 to be exact. I highly recommend them for any plumbing issues one might have.

We received a call from one of our tenants at a commercial retail center that all their toilets and sinks were backing up. We manage the property from out of town and rarely have plumbing issues, but now needed a plumber in a hurry. The tenant runs a childcare center and small children need access to bathrooms! After calling several companies who were too busy, one of them recommended Walter at Discount Drain. Lucky for us! Walter answered his phone immediately. He was friendly and committed to helping us out. He arrived at the property at the promised time and resolved our issue, keeping our tenants happy. His invoice arrived overnight with great detail and the price was reasonable. We won't hesitate to call upon Walter again.

Outstanding service. Was on time, price quoted was price charged, drains open and working in 30 minutes !! No mess to clean up, and was explained everything. Forget the ripoff plumbers in this city, that sell with the fear factor, and work you don't need. This is the only company to call.
