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
Nuqra is a relatively older area with residential flats and villas packed closely together and narrow spaces between them. Kitchens in the flats here are small and the pipes are old and tight, so grease clogs them quickly. The inspection chamber for a flat is shared with other units in the building, so we may need to identify which flat has the blockage first. Villas in Nuqra are in better condition but also sit close to the street and the access paths are narrow. We use short rods here and keep the tanker close to the chamber because space is limited.
Nuqra is an older residential area in Hawalli governorate near Salmiya, with flats and villas packed in close together.
Pipes in Nuqra are old and narrow, so grease blocks kitchen drains here faster than in newer areas.

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 Nuqra
Yes, flats in the same building usually share one inspection chamber. We may need to test the line flat by flat to pinpoint where exactly the blockage is.
That means the blockage is below the chamber in the main line. We open the chamber and use rods to break through from above, or we need the tanker if the chamber has heavy sludge.
