Field ServiceDrainage & Flood Prevention3MediumHomeowner$ implied
Homeowner with low-gradient kitchen sink drain (1-1.5% slope over 4.5m) experiences frequent slow draining and clogs from fat and debris buildup despite careful use.
Existing solutions like snaking are temporary and require skill to avoid damaging pipes; plunging is impractical due to secondary drain; no ongoing prevention product for low-gradient drains.
