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
Shaab sits close to the seashore, and its apartment blocks face very high humidity. Metal pipes rust quickly from salt and moisture, and grease blocks them faster because rust pits roughen the inner surface. Villas in Shaab are fewer, but the same issue exists. Modern plastic pipes are slightly better, but grease is still inevitable. We check pipes from the sink first, and if rust is visible we tell the owner the pipes will need replacement soon.
Shaab sits in Hawalli governorate, a beachfront residential area near the seashore and waterfront parks.
Metal pipes in Shaab apartment blocks rust from coastal humidity faster than in inland 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 Shaab
Yes, salt with high humidity rusts metal very fast. If your flat is in an old building near the sea, the metal pipes probably need replacement soon. Rust creates a rough inner surface and grease blocks faster.
Modern plastic pipes are better than metal in coastal areas, but grease still blocks them. No pipe type will save you from grease, but the right material extends its life a bit.
