We at Drain Genie Plumbing get called out a lot in
Lake Mary Fl for clogged
kitchen sinks. One problem is people put grease, rice and pretty much everything you can think of that should not go down your
plumbing system. When you cook with oil or fatty meats you should always strain it and put it in a jar to throw away in the trash. Grease is the worst for your
plumbing in Lake Mary FL. It sticks to the side of the
plumbing drain pipes and slowly builds up like fat in our body’s arteries, it takes time but eventually it will cause your sink to stop working and you will have to call a
Lake Mary plumber.
Now when the plumber arrives he will most likely snake the line and it may clean it but what a snake does is just clear a small hole in your plumbing drain about 3/4 of an inch were it should be 2″ or larger.

If you have grease build-up do not use liquid
plumber as this solidifies the grease and makes it turn like a rock making it very difficult for your Lake Mary plumber to get through it. Most of the time the stuff in the bottle does not work, it is a waste of money. When you have grease in your plumbing system the best way to fix it permanently is first stop putting grease in the lines, second have the system jetted it is more expensive but it removes all the debris washing the pipe to its original state compared to snaking were it only punches a hole in the line and still leaves debris in the line. If you have a Lake Mary
plumber, hydro jet your lines and follow these steps of what not to put in your drains. Your
plumbing in Lake Mary Florida will stay flowing and problem free.
