I'll chalk it up to WFH. More increased usage.
Was putting down ZEP Drain care in the kitchen and bathroom sink as I noticed it running slower than normal.
Bathroom sink was pretty slow from the get go.
Kitchen incrementally getting slower when pouring large volume (2-3G Produce Soak) vs. a slow faucet open/close.
Fast forward today. I know BIO cleaner takes time but it wasn't showing much improvement. Ended up snaking both lines. Wasn't actually expecting much on the kitchen one - but it did have black slime as I pulled the chain back. I suppose its grease pipe wall buildup and whatever dirt gets' entrapped with the grease over time ?
Dunno, but both lines are clear and all is well.
For proactive maintenance presume the buildup happens slowly and not in the trap but just on the walls of the drain. Should I be using Bio Cleaner more often as preventative maintence.
OR
Is the answer that it comes with the territory and lines do need to get snaked every now and then.....
