Kitchen Plumbing in Dallas–Fort Worth

The kitchen concentrates more plumbing connections into one cabinet than anywhere else in a house: sink drain, disposal, dishwasher, hot and cold supplies, and often a filtered water or ice maker line.

It also handles grease, which is why kitchen drain lines need attention more often than any other branch in the house.

Symptoms and problems

• • A kitchen sink that drains slowly or backs up
• • Water in the cabinet under the sink
• • A dishwasher that will not drain
• • A leaking ice maker or filtered water line
• • Odor from the drain or disposal

Common causes

• • Grease buildup in the branch drain
• • Failed drain assembly components
• • A clogged dishwasher drain hose or air gap
• • A cracked or loose refrigerator supply line

Typical solutions

• • Clearing and, where needed, jetting the kitchen line
• • Rebuilding the drain assembly
• • Correcting dishwasher drain routing and connections
• • Replacing appliance supply lines with braided stainless

When to get professional help

Repeat kitchen clogs are a line condition, not a habits problem. That needs cleaning at the pipe level and sometimes a camera look.
