Apartment kitchen sink backing up from next door?

Why it happens in Schwenksville

Census estimates show about 41% of Schwenksville homes are in buildings with five or more units, and about 42% of households rent. Kitchens in those buildings often share a stack. Grease from several units coats one pipe.

What to try, and when to call us

Stop using the sink and tell the manager. The owner can have a plumber clear the shared stack from a cleanout.

Why Schwenksville homes see this

The Graterford 1 E station averages about 137 nights a year at or below freezing. About 52% of homes here were built from 1960 to 1979, and drains in outside walls or unheated spaces can freeze.

When to stop and call

Don't pour boiling water in. Warm the area. If it still won't drain once it thaws, it's a clog.

What to Do While You Wait in Schwenksville

Skip the chemical drain cleaner. It can splash back and it can't clear a main line.

  • Stop running water if more than one drain is backing up.
  • Don't pour chemical cleaner into standing water. It can splash back when the plumber opens the line.
  • If you know where the cleanout is, clear the area around it.
  • Keep children and pets away from dirty water.
