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
Salam has relatively newer apartment blocks from the eighties and nineties, with roomier kitchens than older areas. But pipes in gardens and passages are short and serve more than one flat, so if one blocks it can affect neighbours. Small villas in Salam are very close together, and inspection chambers under the passages are cramped. We check pipes in each flat first, and if the problem is in the shared line we tell the owner to ask neighbours to share the cost. Grease builds up in Salam the same way as everywhere else.
Salam sits in Hawalli governorate, a residential area with relatively newer apartments and some closely-packed villas.
Shared lines between Salam flats are very short and grease from one flat can affect an entire block.

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 Salam
We work on your section first. If the shared line is the issue, we tell you the details and costs, and you sort it with your neighbour. We do not touch the shared line unless both agree and the first customer pays upfront.
Small villas have tight chambers and access is slightly harder, but the core issue is grease, which is the same. We clear it with rods from inside the house first, and if the chamber itself is the problem we ask you to give us some space.
