What's included
What Our Emergency Kitchen Sink Unclogging Includes
Every emergency call includes a full diagnosis, clog removal, and flow test. We also check for leaks and give you advice to prevent future clogs. Here's what you get when you book us.
✓
Full Clog Diagnosis
We inspect the sink, p-trap, and drain line to find the source of the clog. If needed, we run a drain camera to see deeper into the pipe. You'll know exactly what's causing the problem before we start.
✓
Clog Removal
We use drain snakes, augers, or hydro jetting to clear the blockage. Our trucks carry RIDGID and Spartan Tool equipment, so we can handle any size clog. Most clogs are cleared in 30 to 60 minutes.
✓
Flow Test
After clearing the clog, we run hot water for 5 to 10 minutes to confirm the drain is flowing freely. We check for slow draining and gurgling sounds. You see the water go down before we leave.
✓
Leak Check
We inspect the p-trap and drain pipe for leaks, cracks, or loose fittings. If we find a problem, we fix it on the spot using pipe sealant and plumber's tape. A leak check prevents water damage and mold.
✓
Cleanup
We lay drop cloths, use a bucket to catch debris, and wipe down the sink area. We remove all tools and haul away any mess. Your kitchen is left clean and ready to use.
✓
Prevention Tips
Before we go, we tell you what caused the clog and how to avoid it. For homes, we suggest using a drain cover and avoiding grease. For restaurants, we recommend a preventive maintenance schedule.
How it works
What to Expect When You Call
01
Call and Dispatch
You call our 24/7 line and describe the problem. We ask a few questions: Is the sink completely blocked? Is water backing up into the dishwasher? Do you have a garbage disposal? Then we dispatch the nearest truck. For emergencies in Melrose Park, we aim to arrive within 60 to 90 minutes.
02
On-Site Assessment
Our technician arrives, puts on gloves, and inspects the sink, p-trap, and drain pipe. We check for standing water, slow draining, and signs of a deeper main sewer line clog. If needed, we run a drain camera to see exactly what's blocking the line. This takes 10 to 15 minutes.
03
Clog Removal
We start with a plunger or drain snake for simple clogs. If that doesn't work, we use a powered auger or hydro jetting machine. For grease clogs, hydro jetting at 3,000 to 4,000 PSI scours the pipe walls clean. Most clogs clear in 30 to 60 minutes. We protect your floor with drop cloths and a bucket.
04
Flow Test and Inspection
Once the clog is gone, we run hot water for 5 to 10 minutes to confirm flow. We check the p-trap and drain pipe for leaks, cracks, or loose fittings. If we spot a p-trap leak or worn pipe sealant, we fix it on the spot. You see the water draining before we pack up.
05
Cleanup and Advice
We wipe down the sink area, remove our tools, and haul away any debris. Before we leave, we tell you what caused the clog and how to prevent it. For restaurants, we suggest a preventive drain maintenance schedule. For homes, we recommend avoiding grease down the drain and using a drain cover.
Tools & methods

Hydro Jetting Machine
A high-pressure water system that scours pipe walls clean. We use it for grease clogs and heavy buildup. It's safe for most pipes.
Drain Camera
A waterproof camera that shows us the inside of your pipes. We use it to find clogs, cracks, and root intrusions.
Pipe Wrench
Used to loosen and tighten pipe fittings. We use it when removing p-traps or repairing leaks.
Auger
A powered rotating cable that cuts through tough clogs. We use it for food particle clogs and grease blockages.
Bucket and Gloves
We use a bucket to catch debris and water, and gloves to keep our hands clean. It's part of our commitment to a mess-free service.
Real results
Before and after.
Grease Clog in Older Home
Before
A homeowner in Melrose Park had a slow-draining sink for weeks. Water would pool and take hours to drain. They tried store-bought cleaners, but nothing worked. The sink finally backed up completely on a Sunday morning.
After
We arrived within an hour, ran a drain snake, then hydro jetted the line. The grease clog was gone in 45 minutes. We tested the flow and checked for leaks. The sink drained perfectly, and the homeowner was relieved.
Restaurant Grease Emergency
Before
A restaurant on North Avenue had a complete kitchen sink backup during Friday dinner rush. Grease had clogged the main line, and water was backing up into the dish pit. They needed help fast to avoid closing.
After
We dispatched a commercial truck with hydro jetting equipment. We cleared the grease clog in 90 minutes and restored flow. The restaurant was back in service the same night. We also cleaned the grease trap.
Garbage Disposal Jam
Before
A homeowner in Franklin Park had a jammed garbage disposal. The sink wouldn't drain, and the disposal hummed but didn't spin. They tried to fix it themselves but made it worse.
After
We safely cleared the jam, reset the disposal, and checked for damaged blades. The disposal worked perfectly. We also cleared a small food particle clog in the p-trap. The sink drained fast.
