What we do
Blockage work we handle
Blocked kitchen sinks
Standing water or a sink that drains very slowly — we clear the trap and the waste pipe behind it, then flush the line clean.
Grease & food build-up
Cooking oil and rice set like wax inside pipes. We break it up mechanically and flush it out rather than pouring harsh chemicals in.
Floor traps & bathroom drains
Hair, soap and sand blockages in bathroom and kitchen floor traps, including fitting a new grating or trap cover.
Drain machine & jetting
Electric drain-cleaning machines and high-pressure water jetting for deeper or recurring blockages along the pipe run.
Outdoor drains & gully traps
Blocked gully traps, inspection chambers and short drain runs at terrace and semi-D houses.
Pipe & trap replacement
Replace cracked or sagging waste pipes and old bottle traps that keep collecting debris.
Grease traps & strainers
Under-sink grease traps and sink strainers for homes and small food businesses that fry a lot.
Bad drain smells
Find and fix the cause of sewer smells — dry traps, missing seals or poor venting.
Warning signs
Signs of a blocked drain…
- Water sits in the sink and drains away very slowly or not at all.
- Gurgling sounds from the sink or floor trap after water goes down.
- Water backs up into the floor trap when the sink or washing machine drains.
- A sour or sewer smell around the sink even after cleaning.
- The plunger works for a day and the blockage comes back.
- Water overflows from the outdoor drain or gully trap in heavy rain.

A simple trap blockage has a fixed price; deeper blockages are priced per method (machine or jetting) before we begin.
Clear & flush
We clear the blockage, flush the line with hot water and check that every connected drain flows freely.
Prevent it
We show you what we pulled out and recommend a strainer, grease trap or pipe repair if the problem is likely to return.

Good to know
Tips from the job
Never pour cooking oil down the sink
Malaysian kitchens fry a lot, and warm oil hardens inside the pipe as it cools. Let oil cool, pour it into a bottle and throw it away with the rubbish.
Skip the caustic drain cleaner
Strong chemical cleaners can damage old pipes and seals, and they make the job dangerous if a plumber has to open the trap later. A plunger, a strainer and hot (not boiling) water are safer.
Condo stack blocked?
If several units or the whole stack backs up, the blockage is in the common pipe and is the management’s responsibility. We can confirm where the blockage is so you know who to call.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to unblock a kitchen sink in KL?
A simple kitchen sink blockage in the trap or nearby pipe is typically RM80–RM180 in Kuala Lumpur. Deeper blockages that need a drain machine are around RM150–RM350, and high-pressure jetting RM300–RM700. We confirm the price before starting.
Why does my kitchen sink keep getting blocked?
Usually cooking oil and food scraps building up in the trap and waste pipe, a pipe with too little slope, or a sagging section that collects debris. If it keeps returning, a grease trap, a strainer or straightening the pipe run usually solves it.
Can I use a chemical drain cleaner?
We do not recommend it. Caustic cleaners rarely clear grease blockages fully, can damage pipes and seals, and are hazardous if the trap has to be opened afterwards. Try a plunger and hot (not boiling) water first, then call us.
Do you clear blocked toilets and bathroom drains too?
Yes — floor traps, basin wastes, shower drains and toilets. Hair and soap build-up in floor traps is one of the most common jobs we see.
How fast can you come for a blocked sink?
Blocked kitchens are urgent, so we fit them in as quickly as our schedule allows. Send a video and your area on WhatsApp and we will tell you the earliest time.
What is a grease trap and do I need one?
A grease trap is a small box under the sink that catches oil and food before it reaches the pipe. Homes that cook a lot of fried food, and small food businesses, benefit most — it turns a recurring blockage into a simple monthly clean-out.
