The kitchen sink works harder than any other fixture in most homes. It handles food scraps, grease, hot water and the dishwasher drain, all through one line. When one part fails, the rest feel it. We find the weak link and fix it.
Kitchen plumbing usually gives a few warnings first. Here is what to watch for under and around the sink.

Older homes in Tacoma's Hilltop and Proctor District, and mid-century houses in Federal Way and Lakewood, often have kitchen drains that have carried grease for decades. Old cast iron or galvanized drain pipe narrows inside over time. A clog that keeps coming back may need a camera look and hydro jetting, not another round with a cable.
Newer homes in Hawks Prairie in Lacey and around Maple Valley mostly have plastic drains and PEX supply lines. Problems there tend to be at the fixtures: worn disposals, faucet cartridges, dishwasher hoses and ice maker lines. These are often simple fixes when they are caught early.

Often, yes. Rooter-Man Plumbing of Tacoma offers same-day service on many jobs, and a real person answers the phone 24/7. Many jammed disposals can be freed and tested. If the motor or body has failed, we give you a flat price for a new one before work begins.
An air gap or a high drain loop keeps dirty sink water from flowing back into your dishwasher. Which one your kitchen needs can depend on local code, so check with your city or Pierce County. We can install either one and explain how it works.
Grease, coffee grounds and food scraps stick to the pipe wall and catch more debris over time. In older homes, rough or narrowed pipes make it worse. A cable clears the clog, but repeat clogs may need hydro jetting to scour the pipe clean.
Repair it if it is jammed or has a loose joint. Replace it if the motor is dead, the body leaks or it is worn out. A like-for-like swap is usually simple. We test the old unit and price both choices before any work begins.
Yes. We connect the hot water supply, the drain line and the air gap or high loop, then run a cycle to check for leaks. If there was a dishwasher there before, the job is usually simpler. If new lines are needed, we price that up front.
Keep grease, oil and fat out of it. Skip coffee grounds, eggshells, pasta, rice and stringy foods like celery. These swell, stick or wrap around the parts and clog the drain line below. Run cold water while it grinds and for a few seconds after.
Yes. Leaks under the sink usually come from a loose trap, a worn supply line, the disposal or the dishwasher hose. We find the source, fix it and check the cabinet floor for damage. Turn off the shutoff valves under the sink until we arrive.
Yes. We run or replace the water line to your fridge or ice maker and add a shutoff valve where one is missing. Old plastic lines can crack and leak behind the fridge, so we often suggest a braided line. We test for drips before we leave.
They share one drain line, so a clog past the point where they join slows both. Grease and food scraps are the usual cause. We clear the line, test the dishwasher drain and air gap, and tell you if the clog sits deeper in the main line.
