Why Is My Kitchen Sink Drain Clogged in Chapel Hill?
The Problem
A Chapel Hill homeowner noticed their kitchen sink was backing up and suspected a blockage in the drain line.
What We Found
Nick used a sewer camera to inspect the kitchen sink drain and found debris such as dirt and grass, indicating a break in the line approximately 16 to 18 feet towards the living room.
The Fix
Nick marked the spot where the camera could no longer proceed, indicating a potential break. He recommended removing a 3' x 3' section of flooring and concrete slab to visually identify and repair the break. An estimate was provided, and work was scheduled to start on May 5.
The Result
The homeowner received a clear plan for repair, ensuring the drain line would be properly fixed.
Pro Tip
If your kitchen sink drain backs up, it might be more than a simple clog. Debris like dirt or grass in the line can indicate a break. Catching this early can prevent more extensive damage and costly repairs.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pipe Repair in Chapel Hill
Answered by our licensed technicians serving Chapel Hill
How do I know if my pipes are frozen?
Signs of frozen pipes include: no water or only a trickle when you turn on faucets, frost visible on exposed pipes, strange smells from drains (blockage), and bulging or cracked pipes. Pipes most at risk are in unheated areas like crawl spaces, attics, garages, and exterior walls. If you suspect frozen pipes, call us immediately—we can thaw them safely before they burst.
What should I do if a pipe bursts?
First, shut off your main water valve immediately—know where it is before an emergency. Then call us for emergency service. While waiting: turn off electricity in affected areas if there's standing water, move valuables away from the water, and start removing water with towels or a wet vac if safe. Don't wait—water damage compounds quickly.
How can I prevent frozen pipes?
Keep your home heated to at least 55°F, even when away. Open cabinet doors under sinks on exterior walls to let warm air circulate. Let faucets drip during extreme cold—moving water is less likely to freeze. Insulate exposed pipes in crawl spaces, attics, and garages. Seal gaps where cold air enters near pipes. Disconnect and drain outdoor hoses before winter.
