Most kitchen sink backups come from the same culprit: years of grease, cooking oil, soap, and food particles cooling and hardening inside the branch drain line under the floor. A plunger or a small hand snake can sometimes punch a temporary hole through that buildup, but the clog comes right back. Our technicians use professional sectional cable machines and, when needed, high-pressure hydro jetting to scour the pipe walls clean so the drain flows like new.
Before we run a cable, we'll check the simple stuff at no charge — your P-trap, garbage disposal, dishwasher air gap, and any visible vent issues. If the backup is in the main line instead of the kitchen branch, we'll tell you upfront and offer a free HD sewer camera inspection so you can see exactly what's happening inside your pipes.

Kitchen sink backups are almost always caused by a buildup of grease, fats, oils, food particles, and soap scum coating the inside of the drain line. Over time this hardens into a sludge that traps debris and chokes off water flow. In homes with a garbage disposal, fibrous foods and starches like rice or pasta can compound the problem.
Cheetah Plumbing clears kitchen sink clogs starting at $33 — or it's free if we can't clear it. There are no hidden trip charges, no after-hours surcharges, and we quote a flat rate upfront before any work begins.
A double-bowl kitchen sink backing up on both sides means the clog is downstream of where the two drains join — usually in the P-trap, branch line, or main drain. This requires professional drain cleaning equipment rather than a plunger or sink-side snake to fully clear.
We don't recommend it. Caustic chemical drain cleaners rarely clear a full grease clog, can damage older pipes and seals, and create a hazard for the plumber who has to open the line afterward. Mechanical cable snaking or hydro jetting is faster, safer, and longer-lasting.
