There is nothing worse than a kitchen sink that won’t drain or a shower that floods your feet. Store-bought chemicals often fail to clear deep blockages and can even damage your older pipes.
FixitPapa uses professional-grade tools to remove the choke safely and effectively. We don’t just poke at the problem; we remove the hair, grease, and debris causing the blockage so your water flows freely again.
Types of Chokes We Clear:
Kitchen Sink Choke: Clearing hardened grease, oil, and food waste that builds up in the bottle trap and floor pipes.
Floor Trap / Shower Drain: Removing hair clumps, soap scum, and coins that block bathroom drainage.
Toilet Bowl Choke: Unclogging heavy blockages caused by excessive paper or foreign objects (toys, clips, etc.).
Main Pipe Manhole: Assessing serious blockages that affect the entire unit’s drainage system.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Why does my kitchen sink keep choking even after I use chemicals?A: Chemicals only dissolve minor organic waste. Kitchen sinks often have hard grease blocks (like cholesterol in arteries) that chemicals can’t break. Our machine spring physically cuts through this grease.
Q: Do you remove the toilet bowl to clear a choke?A: Only for very severe cases where the object is stuck deep in the trap. 90% of the time, we can clear it without removing the bowl.
Q: Why is there a bad smell coming from my floor trap?A: This often happens if the “water seal” has dried up or if there is rotting gunk in the pipe. We can clear the pipe and ensure the trap is working correctly to block odors.
