Kitchen Drain Cleaning in Aurora
Kitchen lines fail differently than bathroom lines. Grease goes down warm and liquid, then cools and hardens against the pipe wall, narrowing the line a little more with every meal until one ordinary evening it closes entirely. Clearing it means removing the coating, not just the plug.
Signs you need this
- The sink drains slowly and standing water smells sour
- Running the disposal pushes water up the other basin
- The dishwasher backs up into the sink mid-cycle
- Gurgling from the sink when the washing machine drains
- A clog that returns every few months in the same spot
How we handle it
Pull the trap if needed
Many kitchen blockages sit within a few feet of the basin. We check the accessible section first before running equipment down the wall.
Cable the branch line
A cable machine with a cutting head sized to the line scrapes the grease off the pipe wall rather than punching through the middle of it.
Recommend jetting when warranted
If the line is coated end to end, we will tell you that cabling buys months and jetting buys years, and let you choose.

Kitchen Drain Cleaning questions
Is it safe to pour grease down the drain with hot water?
No. Hot water moves grease a few feet further down the line before it cools and hardens, which puts the eventual clog somewhere harder to reach.
Do garbage disposals prevent clogs?
They prevent large debris from sitting in the basket. They do nothing about grease, and fibrous scraps such as celery and coffee grounds still bind into a mass downstream.
Do you service restaurant kitchens?
Yes. We clear commercial kitchen floor drains and grease lines across the Denver metro, and we schedule around service hours.
Drain backing up right now?
We answer the phone 24 hours a day and most Aurora calls get a technician the same day.
