Project Photo Gallery
Project summary: Fixer Guy successfully resolved a stubborn kitchen drain blockage at a residential apartment in Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC), Dubai. Dispatched centrally from Al Quoz, our plumbing team disassembled and cleaned the under-sink P-trap basin to remove food solids. We then used a specialized, variable-speed electric rotary snake to clear thick, solidified grease scale from the 2-inch branch pipe, restoring full drainage flow. The work was completed in under an hour with no mess or cosmetic damage. Our technician also performed a preventative hot-water flush with organic degreasers to scrub the pipe walls, helping prevent grease from reforming quickly.
Project Scope & Challenges
The tenant reported that water was backing up in the kitchen sink whenever the dishwasher finished its cycle. The main challenge was that the block was located inside the branch pipe behind the kitchen wall. Chemical cleaners used by the tenant had failed to clear the block. We used a motorized snake to clear the grease plug.
Our plumbers disassembled the P-trap first to check for food waste, then ran a mechanical rotary snake 4 meters down the wall pipe. The snake head broke through a thick grease plug, allowing water to flow freely. We then flushed the line with hot water and degreasers to wash out remaining residue.
Our Resolution Steps
- Trap Audit: Disassembling and cleaning the under-sink P-trap to clear trapped waste and food bits.
- Mechanical Snaking: Running a motorized spring cable to clear grease buildup inside the branch line.
- Flushing Test: Running full volume water tests to verify leak-free joints and smooth drainage.
- Preventative Advice: Advising the tenant on grease disposal to avoid future backups.
Preventative Habits Shared with Tenant
We advised the tenant to scrape cooking grease into food waste bins instead of pouring it down the sink. We also recommended flushing the kitchen drain with hot water once a week to help melt grease residue before it solidifies into a block.
