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
Shuhada has apartment blocks from the seventies and eighties, with small kitchens and narrow pipes. Many flats have old grease traps under the sink or in the corridors, and an old trap holds large amounts of grease before the drain blocks. We check the trap first then move to the main lines. Newer flats in Shuhada are slightly better, but pipes remain tight. Hot water from the tap thins grease a little, but does not solve the problem fully if years of buildup exists.
Shuhada sits in Hawalli governorate, a residential district with multi-storey apartment blocks and family flats.
Most flats in Shuhada have old grease traps under the sink needing regular maintenance.

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 Shuhada
A grease trap is a small box that collects grease and oils before it reaches the drain. A regular drain is just a pipe taking it straight to the main line. The trap holds grease longer, but if it blocks fully, water goes nowhere.
Very much so. If the trap is not cleaned, grease builds up and blocks everything. We check the trap and pipes together, because if old grease is in the trap, we clear it first before tackling the pipes.
