Ramadan Drain CleaningKitchen drain unclogging in Jabriya
Kitchen drain unclogging in Jabriya is routine work because there are high-rise apartment blocks and older, mid-range villas and flats. Jabriya is near the hospital and American University, and kitchens in older blocks have tight pipes and shared lines.
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
Apartment blocks in Jabriya were built in stages, and older units from the eighties and nineties have narrow pipes and shared sewer lines with adjoining flats. Small kitchens in these units have little room for clearance, and grease builds up fast at pipe bends. We use small electric snakes and flush with hot water at the end to ensure the line is clear.
Jabriya lies in Hawalli governorate, a mixed residential district near Mubarak Hospital and the American University of Kuwait.
Sewer lines in Jabriya apartment blocks are shared between two or three flats, so a blockage in one unit can affect the neighbouring flat.

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.
