Kitchen signs
When grease isthe cause.
A grease blockage behaves in a way nothing else does.
01
It drains, then comes back
Run the tap lightly and it goes down; fill the bowl to wash up and the water comes back and stands. The run is narrowed, not closed, and that is exactly what grease does, leaving a small channel in the middle.
02
One bowl affects the other
Empty the right bowl and the water rises in the left. Both share one trap and one branch, so the blockage sits past the point where they meet, not in either strainer.
03
The washer backs into the sink
A dishwasher or a washing machine on the same branch pushes out a slug of hot water at once. If the sink rises while it drains, the branch cannot take it and grease has narrowed it.

What setsthis area apart
Abu Fatira has a mix of mid-sized villas and small flats, with kitchens that are cramped and pits usually one metre or deeper below the kitchen floor. When we unblock a kitchen, we start at the basin itself and check for rice, bones or fibres, then lift the cover and work with rods. The smaller villas in Abu Fatira have clay chambers instead of plastic, and the main line is narrow so we use a small electric snake first before thinking about the tanker.
Abu Fatira sits in Mubarak Al-Kabeer governorate, a residential area with small flats and villas on deep drain pits.
Drain pits under Abu Fatira kitchens are deep and narrow, so we need long rods and sometimes work from inside the pit itself.

How it works
From the trap tothe branch.
Four steps, all under the sink, with nothing opened up.
We drop the trap into a bucket
The trap is the first thing we open, and it tells us most of the story. If the grease has gathered only there, the branch beyond it is usually sound and the job ends at that point.
The snake goes into the branch
The small electric snake enters at the branch mouth and works in on a flexible cable. Turning it scrapes the pipe wall, instead of punching one narrow hole through the middle of the grease.
We bring the scrapings out
What comes off goes into the bucket rather than down the line, because a pushed slug of grease lodges at the first change of direction and becomes a bigger problem outside the house.
We refit and test it full
The trap goes back, both bowls are filled and released together in front of you. Testing with a real volume is what proves the bore is back, not a thin run from the tap.
Common questions
Questions about Kitchen drain unclogging in Abu Fatira
Old pipes can be brittle, but we work carefully and feel for resistance. If we sense the pipe itself is damaged, we stop pushing with the rods.
If the flat or villa has a large family cooking daily, perhaps once or twice a year if you do not watch the grease. If you clean it with hot water and baking soda weekly, you may go a year without blockage.
