What caused this rental property kitchen sink drain to get clogged?.
The tenant of this rental property had put a complaint into their real estate agent about some really bad smells coming from their kitchen sink. The property manager at East Avenue Realty contacted us to see if we could help with an inspection and work out what was causing the blockage and the smell.
In most cases when a kitchen sink drain is blocked and you have bad smells it means food scraps or other debris has been put down the drain but caused a blockage. When you combine food, grease and other debris it can create build up over time that eventually creates a blockage.
As we had mentioned before, it is important to fix clogged rental property drains especially when it is a unit or apartment in a building with other tenants as there is a potential for the blockage to cause issues in other properties.
So we visited the rental property and the tenant explained to us about the nasty smells they were experiencing from their kitchen sink. After investigating what we found was a heap of mould and fungi that was growing inside the sink connectors. This is created from a combination of old food leftovers and mushrooms that have been put into the drain that have not broken down enough to go through the waste pipes.
We had to pull each piece of the drainage system apart, remove it and then thoroughly clean it including a full scrub inside the pipes to remove any grease or grime build up. We then reconnected everything and tested it to make sure everything worked propertly.
There was no more smell & the kitchen sink drained quickly.
As a Real Estate Agent we look for reliability, responsiveness and professionalism but also of course for our clients quality and affordability of the job carried out.
Nu Trend Plumbing tick all those boxes and I highly recommend them to everyone given my stand out experience with them.
Shoutout to Rick the Director who is very informative, prompt, professional and has a can do attitude with every scenario.
