GREASE TRAPS AND GREASE INTERCEPTORS
Grease-Waste Plumbing for Florida Restaurants
Grease traps and grease interceptors are essential parts of restaurant drainage systems. Fats, oils and grease can accumulate inside pipes, restrict flow, create odors and contribute to recurring kitchen drain backups.

COMMERCIAL KITCHEN DRAIN CLEANING
Drain Snaking, Hydro Jetting and Sewer Camera Inspections
Restaurant drains collect food particles, grease, starches, coffee grounds, soap, sediment and other debris. Standard drain-cleaning methods may provide temporary relief but fail to remove heavy buildup from the pipe walls.
