Kitchen Sink Drain Repipe With Heavy Pipe Buildup

Lafayette Area, LA

5 Star Plumbing repiped a kitchen sink drain after removing heavily restricted pipe at a Lafayette area home.

Quick Facts

Location: Lafayette, LA area home — serving the greater Acadiana region, including Broussard and Youngsville.
Service type: Kitchen sink drain repipe — replacing a heavily restricted drain line, including the sink drain, trap, wall connection, and dishwasher drain hose connection.
Materials: White PVC (replacing existing PVC piping that had become significantly restricted by interior buildup).

Project Description:

Kitchen sink drain trouble can build up inside the pipe long before the problem is obvious at the sink. At this Lafayette area home, removed sections of white drain pipe showed thick tan buildup around the inside walls, leaving only a small opening for water to pass through.

Our crew repiped the kitchen sink drain with white PVC connections below the sink. The finished setup included the sink drain, trap, wall connection, and dishwasher drain hose connection. Replacing the restricted piping gave the kitchen sink a cleaner path for water to move through the drain system.

Heavy buildup inside a drain can lead to slow flow, standing water, and repeat clogs. When the pipe opening becomes badly restricted, replacing the affected section can be a better long-term solution than continuing to clear the same problem.
