Kitchen / kitchen / sink problems and solutions

• Four Causes of Kitchen Clogging

  Oil-Detergent debris-Food scraps-Water stains and other deterioration.
  The main cause of kitchen clogging is the accumulation of oil and small debris from food and dishwashing. These and other substances, mainly detergent scum, also go down the drain, causing more dirt to accumulate.
  Accumulated oil, in particular, is very sticky and will often stick to drains and clog them. This stickiness is then combined with other debris to form a mass of dirt in the pipes.
  If the pipes are not cleaned for a long period of time, this accumulated dirt hardens and eventually fills the pipes, making it difficult for water to flow. This is the cause of kitchen clogs.

• Four ways to get rid of a clog

  Pipe Unish and other cleaning agents.
  If that doesn’t work, rubber cups (spoons) are available. Clean the trap under the sink with a toothbrush. Baking soda and vinegar.
  Many people are unable to call a contractor due to time or work commitments. If you want to solve the problem quickly, try using a commercially available liquid detergent such as Pipe Unish.
  If the problem is caused by a small amount of grease, this should be enough to solve the problem, but just to be safe, try pouring the detergent into the pipe while running slightly hot water together with the liquid detergent. By slowly allowing the detergent to penetrate into the pipe, it will dissolve the grease more easily.
  If that doesn’t work, then try the rubber cup. Yes, that rubberized cleaning tool.
  A rubber cup is used to break up the dirt in the drainpipe that has been easily broken up by pouring detergent and hot water down the drainpipe, and then apply pressure to break it up at once.
  Apply pressure as slowly as possible when you use the rubber cup. If you apply pressure too hard, you may damage the drainpipe and cause leakage, and you may need to repair the drainpipe because of this.
  If this does not work, look at the drain pipe under the kitchen sink.
  This is most likely, the pipe is held in place by a screw, so it should be designed to be removed by loosening it. Before removing it, please stop the flow of water with a faucet and remove all water from the kitchen. Also, some water will leak out, so place a towel or something around it to absorb the leakage.
  Once removed, use a toothbrush to scrape off the dirt inside.
  The next step is to use baking soda and vinegar to clean. When a small amount of vinegar is added to the baking soda, bubbles will form, which will remove the stains. Do not forget to run warm water together.
  After that, a light scrubbing with a spoon or toothbrush, etc., will probably solve most of the kitchen sink’s clogging problems.

Cautions for Do-It-Yourself Repair

First aid until workers arrive for a plumbing problem　Water leakage/clogging

First aid for water leakage (toilet, kitchen, bath, sink, faucet/tap, drain)

• How to close the main valve for the entire house

  In the case of a leak in the toilet, kitchen, bath, sink, etc., first calm down and turn off the water. You can shut off the water by turning off the "water shutoff valve" at the point where the leak is occurring.
  If you do not see a water shutoff valve, or if shutting off the water supply to your entire home is not a problem, please turn off the main water valve.
  The main water valve is located on the ground inside the house in the case of a detached house. For condominiums and apartment buildings, it is located in the pipe shaft next to the front door.

• Toilet stopcocks are located on either side of the toilet bowl.

  There are two types: a type that can be turned with a flat-blade screwdriver and a handle type that can be turned by hand.
  Turning it clockwise (clockwise) stops the water supply.
  *If your house is equipped with a bidet, be careful not to mistake the valve for the bidet valve.
  If you do not see a water shutoff valve, turn off the main water valve for the entire house.

• The kitchen and washbasin faucets are located below.

  Open the door under the kitchen sink and under the washbasin to check. There is a water supply pipe (water) and a hot water pipe (hot water). Turn the water stopcock clockwise to stop the water supply. There are two types: one that can be turned with a flat-blade screwdriver and the other with a handle that can be turned by hand.
  If you cannot find a water shutoff valve, turn off the main water valve for the entire house.

• The stopcock for the bathroom faucet is located on the leg.

  There are two main types of bathroom faucets: wall-mounted and pedestal-mounted.
  If the faucet comes out of the wall, turn the "water" or "hot water" stopcock clockwise (clockwise) on the leg or on the back of the faucet to shut off the water supply.
  If you do not see a water shut-off valve, turn off the main water valve for the entire house.

• First aid for clogs (toilets, kitchens, baths, sinks, drains/drainpipes)

  In case of clogged drains in toilets, kitchens, baths, sinks, etc., please wait as it is.
  Our staff will rush to the site immediately.
  Flushing or touching the drain may cause the clog to go deeper into the drain pipe and make the situation worse.

• Check fire insurance, homeowners insurance, and personal liability insurance

  If you have fire insurance, home contents insurance, or personal liability insurance, you may be compensated for repair costs incurred due to water leakage.
  Basically, the insurance does not cover the cost of repairing water leakage, but it may cover the cost of repairing your home (wallpaper, floor, furniture) caused by water leakage damage, as well as compensation for damages to the downstairs of your apartment, depending on the contents of your policy (contents and conditions attached).
  First, check your insurance policy. If you do not have the insurance policy on hand, contact the management company or insurance company.
