Drain Camera Inspection
We run a RIDGID drain camera down the branch arm to find the clog and check pipe condition. You see the screen with us. This tells us whether you need a snake, hydro-jetting, or a pipe repair.

Double Kitchen Sink Unclogging in Newark That Clears Both Basins Fast
Double Kitchen Sink Unclogging in Newark means clearing both basins, not just the one that drains. When your left side backs up while the right side gurgles, the blockage sits past the P-trap where the two lines meet. We run a drain camera, snake or hydro-jet the shared line, and test both sides before we leave. Most Newark jobs are done in two to four hours, with upfront pricing before we start.
Careful work. Honest options.
About this service
What Double Kitchen Sink Unclogging in Newark Actually Involves
A double kitchen sink has two basins feeding one shared drain line. When that line clogs, both sides back up or one side drains into the other. Double Kitchen Sink Unclogging in Newark means finding the blockage past the P-trap, not just plunging the visible drain. We pull the trap, inspect the branch arm, then run a drain snake or hydro-jetting equipment through the shared pipe. Grease clog and food debris clog are the usual culprits, and both need mechanical removal, not a bottle of Drano.
Newark kitchens take a beating. Rental units near the University of Delaware campus see heavy use with little maintenance, and older homes in New Castle County still have original cast-iron drain pipe that catches grease and scales shut. If you search double kitchen sink unclogging Newark DE near me, you want someone who clears the line, not just the basin. We handle everything from a slow draining sink to a full double sink backup, and we tell you honestly whether the pipe needs snaking or replacement.

What's included
What Our Double Kitchen Sink Unclogging Includes
Every double sink call starts with a camera inspection and ends with a flow test on both basins. We clear the shared line, check the P-trap and gasket, and clean up the cabinet. If we find pipe damage or a bad trap, we tell you what it costs to fix before we do anything else.
Shared Line Clearing
We clear the line past the P-trap where both basins meet. That is the spot most double sink clogs hide. A drain snake or auger handles soft clogs; hydro-jetting equipment scours grease and scale off the walls.
P-Trap and Gasket Check
We pull the P-trap, clean it out, and inspect the gasket for wear. If it is cracked or hardened, we replace it and reseal with plumber's putty. A bad gasket causes drips and smells, not clogs, but it is worth fixing while we are in there.
Both-Basin Flow Test
We fill both basins, pull both stoppers, and watch the water drop. If either side drains slow or gurgles, we run the camera again. The job is not done until both sides empty fast and clean.
Cleanup and Clog Report
We wipe down the cabinet floor, check for drips, and leave you a written summary of what we found and cleared. If we spotted pipe corrosion or a slope issue, it is in the report so you can plan ahead.
How it works
How Our Double Sink Drain Clearing Works
We ask which basin backs up, whether both sides drain slow, and if you smell anything. That tells us whether the clog sits in the P-trap, the branch arm, or deeper in the main line. Takes five minutes, and it lets us load the right tools before we leave.
We pull everything out from under the sink, lay a bucket and drop cloth, and check the P-trap and gasket first. A drain camera goes down the branch arm to confirm the clog location and pipe condition. You watch the screen with us, so you see exactly what we see.
For grease and food debris, we run a drain snake or auger through the branch arm. Heavy buildup gets hydro-jetting equipment, which scours the pipe walls at pressure. Most clogs clear in 20 to 40 minutes once we are set up.
We fill both basins to the brim, pull both stoppers, and watch the water drop. If either side drains slow or gurgles, we run the camera again. We do not call the job done until both sides empty in under 30 seconds.
We reseal the P-trap with plumber's putty, check for drips, and wipe down the cabinet floor. Then we tell you what caused the clog and how to keep it from returning. You get a written summary of what we cleared and any pipe issues we spotted.

Tools & methods
Tools and Methods We Use
RIDGID Drain Camera
We run it down the branch arm to find the clog and check pipe condition. You see the screen with us, so there is no guessing about what needs fixing.
Drain Snake and Auger
Cuts through soft clogs like food debris and grease in the branch arm. We follow every snake with a camera check to confirm the line is clear.
Hydro-Jetting Equipment
Scours grease and scale off pipe walls at pressure. Used when a snake clears a hole but leaves buildup behind, which is the usual cause of repeat clogs.
Plunger and Bucket
First-line tools for a simple P-trap blockage. We lay a bucket under the trap before we pull it, so nothing drips into your cabinet.
Pipe Wrench and Plumber's Tape
Used to loosen and reseal the P-trap and branch arm fittings. Plumber's tape on threaded joints prevents drips after we put everything back together.
Enzyme Drain Cleaner
We recommend it for monthly maintenance after a grease clog. It eats the organic film a snake leaves behind, which slows new buildup. Not a fix for an active clog.

Double Kitchen Sink Unclogging
Both Basins Backed Up in Brookside
A homeowner in Brookside called on a Saturday with both basins full of standing water. The left side had been draining slow for weeks, then stopped completely. A bottle of Drano did nothing. The P-trap was clear, so the clog sat deeper in the branch arm.
After: We ran a camera, found a grease clog packed with food debris about six feet down. A drain snake cleared the path, then hydro-jetting scoured the walls. Both basins drained in under 20 seconds. Total job time was two hours.

Repeat Clog in a Nottingham Green Rental
A property manager in Nottingham Green had snaked the same double sink three times in 18 months. Each time it drained fine for a few weeks, then backed up again. Tenants were complaining about a smelly drain and slow draining sink.
After: Our camera showed a thick grease layer coating the branch arm walls. Snaking had punched a hole through it each time. We hydro-jetted the line, cleared the buildup, and replaced a worn P-trap gasket. Flow test passed on both basins.

After: We dispatched a tech with a drain snake and camera. The clog was food debris in the branch arm, about four feet past the P-trap. Cleared in 30 minutes, both basins tested clean. We wiped down the cabinet and were out by 10 p.m.

Double Sink Problems We Fix in Newark
A double sink clog shows up in a few predictable ways. Here is what we see most often and how we clear it.
Ask a pro →One basin backs up into the other
The clog sits in the shared line past the P-trap. We run a drain snake or auger through the branch arm, clear the blockage, and test both basins. Most jobs take under two hours.
Both basins drain slow and gurgle
We pull the P-trap, clean it, and run a camera to check the branch arm. If grease is coating the walls, hydro-jetting equipment scours the pipe clean. You get full flow back the same day.
Smelly drain that will not go away
We remove the debris, clean the trap, and check for pipe corrosion. If the smell comes from deeper in the line, we hydro-jet the branch arm and flush it. The smell is gone when we leave.
Repeat clogs every few months
We run a camera to see the buildup, then hydro-jet the line to scour the walls. That removes the grease layer a snake leaves behind. Most repeat-clog sinks stay clear for a year or more after.
Most double kitchen sink unclogging jobs in Newark run $180 to $450 in 2026, depending on where the clog sits and which tool clears it. A simple P-trap blockage is on the low end. A grease clog deeper in the branch arm that needs hydro-jetting lands higher. We quote a flat price before we start, and the camera inspection is included.
Repeat clogs usually mean grease and food debris are coating the pipe walls, not just blocking one spot. A snake punches a hole through the clog, but the buildup stays. If your sink backs up every few months, the line needs hydro-jetting to scour the walls clean. Older cast-iron pipe in New Castle County homes makes this worse.
Yes. Call before noon and we can usually be there the same afternoon. We keep same-day double kitchen sink unclogging Newark DE slots open for backed-up sinks, and we handle emergency calls after hours too. Most jobs are finished in two to four hours, including the camera check and cleanup.
If one basin backs up while the other drains, the clog sits in the shared line past the P-trap. If both sides back up at once, the blockage is deeper in the branch arm or main line. A gurgling sink or smelly drain points to the same problem. We run a camera to confirm before we snake anything.
