A homeowner in Maysville recently called us about a slow kitchen sink.
They said it had been getting worse over a few weeks — until one day, the water just wouldn’t go down.
What they didn’t know was that the real problem was deeper than a simple clog near the drain.
Here’s how Adams Plumbing & Drain Company solved the issue — and what you can watch out for in your own home.
💧 The Complaint: “It Just Won’t Drain”
At first, the sink would slowly clear after running the garbage disposal.
But after two back-to-back dinner nights with a full sink of dishes, it stopped draining completely.
Plunging didn’t help. Neither did store-bought drain cleaners (in fact, they made it worse).
That’s when they called us.
🔍 The Diagnosis: Grease and Food Buildup… Plus Something Extra
We arrived, removed the trap, and immediately noticed:
- Thick sludge built up in the drain arm
- Hardened grease coating the inside of the pipe
- AND a plastic fork lodged further down the line 😳
This wasn’t just a clog — it was a drain time bomb.
🛠️ The Fix: Cleaned and Cleared with No Damage
We:
- Ran a hand auger to break up the main blockage
- Fully cleared the line with a medium-pressure jetter
- Inspected the piping for wear and slope
- Reassembled and flushed the system with enzyme cleaner
Within 45 minutes, the line was draining faster than it had in years.

🧼 The Follow-Up: Prevention Tips That Actually Work
We coached the homeowner on:
- Using sink strainers
- Wiping plates before rinsing
- Never pouring grease down the drain (even with hot water)
- Using an enzyme-based drain treatment monthly
They were grateful — and said the difference was immediate.
