Why Routine Drain Cleaning Matters For Your Restaurant

November 1, 2022

There are few things that can bring a busy restaurant kitchen to a standstill like a clogged sink. Unfortunately, clogs happen quite often in commercial food prep. In some kitchens, it's a constant battle to keep the waste water flowing. Routine drain cleaning can help reduce downtime, save money on repairs, and improve the health and safety of your kitchen.

Reasons for Clogged Restaurant Drains

A busy restaurant requires multiple sinks for food preparation, dish washing, handwashing, and floor drains for spills. With so many sinks and drains, it's inevitable that one will be clogged at some point. Some reasons this may happen include:


  • Food Scraps. Especially coffee grounds, eggshells, pasta, and rice
  • Grease and Oil. Both congeal in pipes, cutting off water flow
  • Paper.  Labels, paper towels, napkins, order tickets, etc.
  • Foreign Objects. Dish clothes, pot holders, and other items

Why Routine Drain Cleaning Matters

It's nearly impossible to stop clogged drains from happening in your commercial kitchen. Grease traps and commercial grade sink strainers can help, but they aren't 100% effective. Routine proofessional commercial drain cleaning is a smart move for several reasons including:
