Why does a sink get clogged?
There can be several reasons for a clogged sink! The main reasons are washing dishes with cold water and using too much detergent. Unfortunately, this is not all that can cause a blockage. In many cases, due to the layout of the apartment, the sink's waste water drain pipe is too long, in many cases the pipe is even longer than 10-15 meters, but I have also encountered a 35-meter long section. In the long pipe, dirt and grease and the sink and the abrasive agent have a lot of time to settle on the side of the pipe. After that, the blockage development.

Not to mention if a dishwasher is also connected to the sink's waste water line. Dishwashers are known to be energy-efficient and use little water. They rinse away a lot of greasy dirt with little water, and thick dirt can cause blockages in as little as a month or two.

The sink connection should be as short as possible, and it should be connected to the main pipe in the shortest possible way. You should not believe that it pushes the dirt with high pressure and even cleans the pipe, unfortunately this does not work that way!
It is important to know that the sink waste water pipe should always be sized accurately and routed with a sufficient slope. Its cross-section should not be too narrow, but it should not be too large or oversized either! Both cases carry the risk of clogging. A thin pipe will quickly become clogged. In an oversized sink pipe, since the water column is not high enough, the waste water cools down easily. The cold water helps the dirt coming from the sink to settle on the walls of the pipe. The dirt will constantly accumulate and this solution will also lead to clogging after a while.
Another disadvantage of an oversized pipe is that it cannot be cleaned properly from the direction of the sink, or it is very difficult to clean.
Think about it! The sink outlet is ideally a 50mm diameter pipe (this size is just right), but there is no way we can fit an effective cleaning head through this opening to clean the oversized, in some cases 110mm diameter pipe!
