Kitchen sinks are fairly amazing devices considering the junk we throw down them. Eventually, however, water flow will become a problem and you will need to fix them.

The drain on your kitchen sink can clog like any other drain. Kitchen sinks can come in several different styles with the basic difference being between a two bowl sink and a single bowl sink. The drain lines on a two bowl sink will run into a common drain line. When water backs up in one, it will generally back up in the other as the water levels out. Also, some sinks have garbage disposals built into the drain line.

There are a wide variety of chemical drain cleaners on the market. Plumbing experts seem to be almost all together in opposing their use to clear common clogs. Their reasons range from the toxic nature of the corrosive chemicals in the cleaners to the fact that they generally will not work on most drains. Most clogs that will be broken up by the use of chemicals will yield just as easy to a plunger.

Some experts do suggest the use of drain cleaners as a maintenance method prior to a clog forming. Running a little drain cleaner through a non-clogged drain, or slow draining drain can be a good preventive measure. The chemicals are flushed on through the drain system and are less dangerous. If you do ever use chemical drain cleaners and then a plunger or snake, make sure that you wear gloves, protective clothing, and eye protection.

Every household should have one ready for just this case. When using the plunger, first remove the standing water from the sink. Leave just enough to cover the bell shaped end of the plunger. If you have a double sink, someone is going to have to hold a stopper tightly over the other drain outlet. If you neglect this step, the water will shoot out of this side of the sink when you use the plunger on the other side.

Start slowly to get the air out of the plunger cup and to fill it with water. A hard initial plunge will expel the air breaking the seal and splashing the kitchen, and you, with water. Once the air has been expelled, you can use a series of short steady plunges mixed with an occasional hard one until the clog breaks up. Do not give up too easily. You should continue to use the plunger for around five minutes, or 15-20 good plunges. If the clog does not break up with this, the next step could be to rent a snake. Be aware that the kitchen drain line can be quite long, and if the clog did not break up from the plunging, it is more than likely far down the drain. If the plunger does not get the job done, this mi
