Maintaining a smoothly running kitchen is not just about keeping your countertops spotless and your appliances in good working order. Paying attention to your kitchen drains is just as crucial to avoid major issues down the line. Grease buildup is often brushed off as a minor inconvenience, but it can actually lead to serious plumbing problems if left unaddressed. Discount Drain Cleaning LV explores why regular drain cleaning in Henderson, NV is something you should prioritize.
How Grease Causes Blockages
When you wash dishes or clean pans, any leftover grease and oil from cooking can easily find its way into your kitchen drain. Some homeowners also deliberately pour used cooking oil down the sink, thinking it’s a convenient disposal method. Unfortunately, grease doesn’t simply disappear or wash away with water. It sticks to the inner walls of the pipe and solidifies over time, gradually creating a thick layer that can trap other debris like food scraps and hair.
The Impact of Blocked Kitchen Drains
A severely clogged drain can cause several problems. Water may either drain slowly or not at all, making it difficult to perform even simple tasks like washing your hands or rinsing dishes. Foul odors coming from the drain also indicate the presence of bacteria and other harmful microorganisms that thrive in stagnant water. These can pose health risks, especially if you have young children or elderly family members at home.
Routine Cleaning as a Preventative Measure
Prevention is always better than cure, and this certainly applies to kitchen drain maintenance. You can use natural remedies like baking soda and vinegar or purchase commercial drain cleaners designed specifically for eliminating grease. However, it’s best to avoid using harsh chemicals, as they may damage the pipes in the long run. Ultimately, the ideal solution is to schedule professional drain cleaning services. Experienced plumbers will make sure that any buildup is completely removed and potential issues are detected early on.
Simple Practices to Prevent Drain Issues Caused by FOG
Apart from calling your drain cleaning company at least once or twice a year, there are also habits you can develop to prevent FOG (fats, oils, and grease) from causing problems in the first place. For one, always scrape off excess food scraps from your dishes before rinsing them in the sink. Dispose of cooking oil and other fatty substances in a sealed container and throw it in the trash, or bring it to a recycling center if available. You can also install a drain strainer to catch any loose debris before it has a chance to accumulate in the 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.
