Ramadan Drain CleaningKitchen drain unclogging in Funaitees
Kitchen drain unclogging in Funaitees usually means slow water from the sink or drainage backing up into the second sink. Funaitees has medium-sized flats with open kitchens onto the living room, and the pipes are short but clogged with years of grease buildup.
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.
This area
What setsthis area apart
Most Funaitees apartment blocks date from the 1980s and 1990s, with small kitchens and old brass or galvanised pipework. The main line drops one or two floors to the chamber in the courtyard or side passage. Grease builds up quickly in old pipes, and some homes have never had a kitchen upgrade since construction. We start with rods and break the layer from the sink trap itself, and if the blockage runs deep we call for the tanker to pull out liquid and deposits from the chamber.
Funaitees sits in Mubarak Al-Kabeer governorate, a residential apartment district with older drainage pipework.
Funaitees drainage pipes date back to the area's original construction phase, and grease persists in them longer than in newer pipework.

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 Funaitees
Each Funaitees block has flats that feed one or two main lines, each line drops to its own chamber. One flat cannot block the whole line but it slows it for the other residents.
The inspection chamber sits in the rear courtyard or side passage of the block, under a round cover in the ground. If the chamber is full, we know the blockage is deep in the main line, not near the flat's trap.
