Kitchen Sink Choke Clearing Singapore
For a slow or fully blocked kitchen sink, the first step is to separate a local P-trap or grease blockage from a deeper line affecting other outlets. Suitable basic clearing starts from S$80; the final scope is confirmed from symptoms, access and equipment needed.
Most common causes
- Grease buildup at U-trap
- Food debris lodged in pipe
- P-trap misaligned or loose
- Main drain line blocked
- Old cast iron pipe corroded
Transparent pricing
A S$10 fuel surcharge applies to every visit. No additional standard call-out or inspection fee applies. Urgent service or a customer-requested appointment time adds one S$30 fee, subject to technician availability and confirmation. The S$30 is a separate service fee. Pricing terms.
The stated ranges are planning guidance, not a diagnosis. A deeper shared line, damaged trap, restricted access or replacement parts are itemised separately before work proceeds.
Local sink choke or deeper drain blockage?
- One sink only: a local trap, grease or short branch-line blockage is more likely.
- Both bowls or several outlets: send a video of each affected outlet because the blockage may be further downstream.
- Nearby floor trap backs up: use the floor trap and drain blockage scope.
- Toilet bowl water rises or flushes slowly: use the toilet choke clearing page.

FAQ
How much does kitchen sink choke clearing cost?
Suitable basic kitchen sink choke clearing starts from S$80. The final quote depends on the blockage location, access, equipment, P-trap condition and whether repair or replacement is required.
What should I send for a kitchen sink choke quote?
Send the property type, postal code, a short drainage video, whether one or both bowls are affected, whether a nearby floor trap backs up, and photos below the sink.
When could the blockage be in a shared or deeper drain?
If multiple outlets drain slowly, a nearby floor trap backs up, or the problem returns soon after local clearing, a deeper or shared drainage issue may need separate diagnosis.
How fast can you respond?
Same-day callout is usually available for urgent repair during weekdays. Send a photo on WhatsApp for the fastest dispatch.
Do you charge for diagnosis?
A S$10 fuel surcharge applies to the visit, with no additional standard call-out or inspection fee. If fault-tracing work is required, diagnostic labour is quoted separately before it begins. Materials are billed separately.

Workmanship on non-regulated plumbing — taps, P-traps and simple choke clearance — is covered for 90 days under our Warranty & Refund Policy. PUB-regulated work (water supply, water-heater install, sanitary plumbing) is covered for 12 months. Parts follow the manufacturer warranty.

Kitchen sink choke diagnosis before clearing
Grease and food debris can restrict the trap or branch line, but identical symptoms may also come from a damaged trap, poor fall or a deeper shared blockage. The correct method is selected after checking which outlets are affected and how the water backs up.
Useful evidence to send
- A short video showing drainage speed and any gurgling.
- Photos of the P-trap, pipe connections and cabinet access below the sink.
- Whether both bowls, a dishwasher connection or a nearby floor trap are affected.
- Whether the blockage is new, recurring or returned after a previous clearing.
Do not keep running water into a fully blocked sink. If several outlets back up together, state that before dispatch because the equipment and scope may differ from a local sink choke.
