Quick answer

What is commercial drain cleaning?

Commercial drain cleaning clears and maintains the drains in businesses, such as restaurant kitchen lines, floor drains, restroom lines and main sewer lines. It uses larger cable machines and hydro jetting to remove grease and heavy buildup, and is often scheduled after hours or on a regular plan to prevent shutdowns.

Common commercial drain types

  1. Kitchen grease linesfrom sinks, dishwashers and prep areas.
  2. Floor drains and floor sinksin kitchens and bars.
  3. Restroom linesin offices, shops and restaurants.
  4. Building main linesshared by many units.
Warning signs

What are signs a business needs drain cleaning?

Slow floor drains, water pooling under the dish area, sewer smells in the dining room or restroom, gurgling sinks, and more than one restroom clogging in a week are signs. In restaurants, grease clogs often show up first as a floor drain or floor sink backing up during busy service.

  • Floor sinks overflowingduring dish rush.
  • Odorscustomers can notice.
  • Restroom toilets cloggingoften.
  • Slow kitchen sinksacross several stations.
  • Tenants reportingbackups in lower units.
Common causes

What causes commercial drain clogs?

Grease is the top cause in restaurants. Fats, oils and grease harden in kitchen lines and even past grease interceptors. Food solids, paper towels in restrooms, heavy use, and tree roots in older building sewer lines also cause clogs. A missed maintenance schedule lets buildup grow fast.

  • Longer pipe life
  • Planned costsinstead of emergency costs.
