A kitchen sink can drain slowly because of material in the trap, buildup farther along the branch or a restriction shared with another fixture. Tell the assessor whether one basin or both are affected, whether the disposal runs and whether the dishwasher discharge causes water to rise. A working disposal does not establish that the drain beyond it is clear. Do not put a hand into the disposal or dismantle powered equipment to investigate.
The cleaning method should fit the blockage and the pipe access. A local trap obstruction can require a different approach from grease coating a longer run. Ask whether clearing the immediate restriction is sufficient or whether inspection of a recurring problem is advisable. Avoid pouring fat, oil and food scraps into the drain after cleaning; hot water does not make those materials disappear from the downstream pipe.
