When your kitchen sink is filled with standing water and completely blocked, first use a cup and bucket to scoop out the excess water down to a manageable shallow level. Plug the second side of a double-sink basin with a damp rag, place a cup plunger firmly over the clogged drain, and pump up and down vigorously to dislodge the grease and food blockage. If the clog resists plunging, place a bucket under the under-sink P-trap and manually remove the trap to clean out the trapped organic sludge. Verification: Test drainage speed by running the kitchen faucet after clearing the blockage.
