Why does my kitchen sink keep clogging?

Most recurring kitchen sink clogs come from grease, food scraps, and soap residue that build up inside the drain line over time. Plunging or a store-bought cleaner may clear the surface blockage, but the buildup deeper in the pipe usually stays behind. If your sink keeps backing up, our plumbers can find the cause and clear the line so your kitchen drain flows freely again.

Should I repair or replace my garbage disposal?

It depends on the unit’s age and condition. Jams, minor leaks, and reset button issues can often be repaired. However, if your disposal is more than 10 years old, leaks from the bottom of the unit, or needs frequent repairs, replacement is usually the more cost-effective option. Our plumbers will inspect your unit and explain your options before any work begins.

Is a dripping kitchen faucet worth fixing right away?

Yes. A steady drip wastes water, raises your utility bill, and can leave stains or mineral buildup on your sink. Drips are often caused by worn cartridges, washers, or seals that a plumber can replace quickly. If your faucet is outdated or has repeated problems, our team can help you choose and install a new fixture for your Huntsville or Scottsboro home.

Are chemical drain cleaners safe for my kitchen sink?

We don’t recommend them. Harsh chemical drain cleaners can damage older pipes, harm garbage disposal components, and often fail to fully clear grease clogs. They can also create a safety hazard if a plumber later needs to work on the drain. For a stubborn clog, it’s safer to call a professional who can clear the blockage without putting your plumbing at risk.

What are the signs of a leak under my kitchen sink?

Watch for water stains, warped or soft cabinet floors, musty odors, mold, or puddles under the sink. You may also notice loose connections or moisture around the disposal, drain trap, or supply lines. Even a slow leak can cause costly water damage over time, so call Southern Heating, Cooling & Plumbing at 256-207-5279 as soon as you spot any of these signs.
