Bathroom drains fail in a quiet way. Hair catches in the drain, soap scum sticks to it, and the water starts to pool around your feet in the shower. A bathroom sink can do the same...

What is going on
When we get a call about a kitchen sink in Gallatin, the story is usually the same. It started slow, then it stopped draining after a meal, and the water sat in the basin. Grease is the usual suspect. A little grease from normal dish rinsing coats the pipe wall, then food bits stick to it, and the opening gets smaller week by week. Home remedies from social media, like soap and hot water or baking soda and water, often fail once that layer has built up, unless the blockage is right at the opening. We clear the line with a cable or jetting, then we check flow with the tap running, so you can see it drain before we leave.
Signs that fit this job
- Sink drains slowly, then stops after washing dishes
- Water backs up into the other side of a double sink
- Gurgling when the dishwasher runs
- A sour smell near the sink, even when it looks clean
How we fix it
- We find the cleanout or remove the trap with care, so we do not flood the cabinet.
- We run the right cable size for a kitchen line and work it through the grease layer.
- We flush the line and run the tap to confirm full flow, not just a small hole through the clog.
- We talk through grease habits that help, like wiping pans before washing, without blaming you for normal cooking.
Reading the signs
| Sign you see | What it often points to |
|---|---|
| One fixture slow | A branch line for that fixture |
| Several fixtures slow | A main line issue |
| Same clog returns fast | Grease, roots, or a damaged section, best checked with a camera |
Gallatin angle
Gallatin kitchens range from historic homes near the Public Square to new family homes near Station Camp, and both cook a lot. A busy kitchen puts more grease and food waste through one sink line than a spare bathroom ever will, so kitchen lines are often the first to slow down in a home in ZIP 37066.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my kitchen sink keep clogging again?
Because grease coats the pipe wall over time. Clearing a small hole through it can help for a week, but the layer stays. A full cable or jetting pass, plus a flow check, is what gives a longer result.
Will hot water and soap clear a grease clog?
It can help right at the opening, but it often fails on a built up grease layer deeper in the line. If the sink is still slow after a simple try, that is a sign to call, not to keep pouring things down it.
Do you have to take the sink apart?
Often we work through a cleanout. If we do open a trap, we put it back, check for leaks, and wipe the cabinet down before we leave.
How long does a kitchen drain visit take?
Most single kitchen lines take well under an hour once we are on site, though a long run or a second clog can add time. We tell you what we find before we start.
What can I do to slow the next clog?
Wipe grease from pans into the trash, use a strainer, and run cold water with the disposal only as directed. Call early when draining slows, since a slow drain is easier than a full backup.
