    The Problem

    The existing kitchen sink drain line did not have the proper fall needed for reliable drainage. Because the line held waste instead of carrying it away efficiently, grease accumulated inside the pipe and contributed to backup problems.

    The Repair

    Our team excavated the affected section, removed the old drain line, and installed new PVC piping with the correct slope. The goal was to improve flow, reduce standing waste inside the pipe, and help prevent the same grease-related drainage issue from returning.

    Project Details

    • Location: New Iberia, Louisiana
    • Service: Kitchen sink drain-line replacement
    • Issue: Improper fall and heavy grease buildup
    • Solution: Excavation, removal of the old line, and installation of properly sloped PVC piping

    Why Proper Fall Matters

    A drain line needs enough slope to move wastewater and solids toward the main drain. When the fall is incorrect, grease and debris can settle in the pipe, creating slow drainage, repeated clogs, and backups.
