f your kitchen sink drains slowly, smells bad, or clogs again and again, the problem may be more than “food in the trap.” In many Salt Lake City homes, kitchen drain lines develop grease buildup + mineral scale over time. That hardened layer narrows the pipe, traps debris, and causes recurring blockages.
At Acme Sewer & Drain Cleaning, we provide professional Kitchen Drain Descaling to remove scale and buildup from inside the drain line—restoring stronger flow and helping prevent repeat clogs.
Kitchen Drain Descaling is a specialized cleaning service designed to remove hardened buildup from the inside walls of your kitchen drain pipe. This buildup often includes:
Unlike basic drain snaking (which may only poke through a blockage), descaling focuses on cleaning the pipe interior so water, grease, and waste can flow properly again.

Kitchen drains deal with more grease and residue than most other drains in your home. Over time, even small amounts of oil and food particles can build up.
Grease coats the pipe, then minerals from hard water stick to that coating and harden. This can create a thick, rough interior surface that grabs more debris.
Garbage disposals can grind food smaller, but that doesn’t mean it disappears. Residue can still collect in the line—especially when there’s existing scale.
Dish soap and detergents can combine with minerals and grease, adding to buildup and odor issues.
At Acme Sewer & Drain Cleaning, we focus on safe, long-lasting solutions—not quick temporary fixes.
We start by assessing the symptoms and determining whether the issue is localized (kitchen line) or part of a bigger main-line restriction.
We use professional tools designed to break up hardened scale and grease layers inside the kitchen drain line. This helps reopen the pipe and reduce “catch points” that cause repeated clogs.
After deposits are loosened, we flush the line to move debris out safely and restore better drainage performance.
We verify improved flow and provide practical tips to keep your kitchen line cleaner longer.
Descaling helps restore the pipe’s interior space so water drains quickly again.
A smoother interior reduces the ability for grease and debris to stick and rebuild.
Removing grease and sludge buildup often reduces persistent smells coming from the drain.
Recurring clogs can strain pipes and connections over time. Descaling helps reduce stress and may extend the life of your drain line.
