Also called “dish washer drain” service—same thing, same experts.
Why your dishwasher isn’t draining (and what we do about it)
Dishwashers push water through a discharge hose into your garbage disposal or sink branch line. Grease, food particles, and soap can clog the hose, disposal port, or the branch line itself. Kinks, a failed check valve, or a missing high‑loop/air gap can also cause backups and odors.
Common symptoms:
- Water standing in the bottom of the dishwasher after a cycle
- Sink backs up when the dishwasher runs
- Gurgling or sewage odor at the sink/air gap
- Leaking under or in front of the dishwasher
- Clogs that return quickly after DIY attempts

Our 4‑Step Dishwasher Drain Fix Process
1. Diagnose
We test‑run the unit, inspect the discharge hose, disposal knock‑out, air gap/high loop, and the sink trap/branch line. When helpful, we use micro‑cameras to confirm the blockage area.
2. Clean
We match the method to your setup:
- Professional cabling/rodding of the 1½–2” branch line
- Clearing the disposal inlet and installing the correct plug/knock‑out
- Small‑line hydro‑jetting to remove grease/soap on heavy lines
3. Verify
We run a full drain cycle and sink test to confirm full flow and no leaks at all connections.
4. Prevent
We correct missing high‑loop routing or install/repair an air gap (where required), review best practices, and set a maintenance schedule if your kitchen sees heavy use.

What causes dishwasher drain problems?
- Grease & food buildup in the sink branch line or disposal port
- Kinked, sagging, or clogged dishwasher discharge hose
- No high loop/air gap, allowing wastewater to flow back
- Failed check valve inside the unit or at the hose
- Main‑line restriction forcing water back to the sink and dishwasher
If we find damage or a main‑line issue, we’ll show you on camera and outline repair options—no pressure, just facts.
Garbage Disposal & Air Gap Help
- Installing a new disposal or clearing the inlet correctly (with proper knock‑out)

Do’s & Don’ts for a Trouble‑Free Dishwasher Drain
Do:
- Run the disposal and cold water for 10–15 seconds before/after cycles
- Use racks/filters correctly and clean the filter per the manufacturer
- Keep the high loop/air gap intact and above the sink rim
Don’t:
- Pour chemical drain openers—they can damage pipes and create hazards
- Run large amounts of grease or fibrous scraps into the disposal
- Bypass or remove the high loop/air gap
Is it the dishwasher… or the kitchen/main line?
If water backs up into the sink when the dishwasher runs—or multiple fixtures are slow—the problem is likely downstream in the kitchen branch or main sewer. We’ll diagnose and clear the right section so the issue doesn’t return.

FAQs: Dishwasher Drain Cleaning
Why does my sink gurgle when the dishwasher runs?
Air is trapped by a downstream restriction or missing high loop/air gap. We’ll fix the cause and restore smooth flow.
Can you install or fix my air gap?
Yes—we install/repair air gaps and correct high‑loop routing per local code.
How long does it take?
Most dishwasher drain services take 45–90 minutes, depending on access and whether jetting or camera work is needed.
Will you make a mess?
We protect cabinets and floors with mats and covers, and we clean up before we leave.
