Keeping your restaurant’s drains clear isn’t just about avoiding clogs; it’s about protecting your business, staying compliant with health regulations, and ensuring smooth kitchen operations. For Calgary restaurants, three essential services work together to maintain healthy drain systems: hydro jetting, grease trap truck cleaning, and hot water flushing. Here’s why these solutions matter and how The Drain Doctor™ can help.
Why Drain Maintenance Is Critical for Restaurants
Commercial kitchens handle high volumes of food waste, oils, and grease every day. Over time, this buildup can:
Cause stubborn clogs in sinks, floor drains, and sewer lines.
Create foul odours that affect your dining environment.
Lead to costly downtime and health code violations.
Regular drain cleaning isn’t optional; it’s a necessity for compliance and uninterrupted service.
What Is Hydro Jetting and Why Do Restaurants Need It?
Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water streams to clear grease, food particles, and debris from drain lines. Unlike traditional snaking, hydro jetting doesn’t just punch a hole through the clog—it completely cleans the pipe walls, restoring full flow.
Benefits of Hydro Jetting for Restaurants:
Removes grease buildup that causes recurring blockages.
Prevents backups in sinks and floor drains during peak hours.
Keeps pipes flowing efficiently, reducing emergency calls.
For restaurants in Calgary, hydro jetting is the gold standard for deep drain cleaning.
The Role of Grease Trap Truck Services
Your grease trap is your first line of defence against fats, oils, and grease entering your drain system. But when traps aren’t cleaned regularly, they overflow, sending grease straight into your pipes and city sewer lines.
Grease trap truck services ensure:
Proper removal and disposal of grease waste.
Compliance with local regulations for food service businesses.
Odour control, keeping your kitchen fresh and sanitary.
Neglecting grease trap maintenance can lead to fines, foul smells, and major piping system issues.
Why Hot Water Flushing Matters
Hot water flushing is the finishing touch that keeps your drains healthy. By flushing lines with heated water, we:
Break down residual grease that clings to pipe walls.
Improve flow and reduce odours.
Extend the life of your drain system by preventing buildup before it starts.
Combined with hydro jetting and grease trap cleaning, hot water flushing creates a complete maintenance solution for busy kitchens.
How These Services Work Together
When combined, hydro jetting, grease trap cleaning, and hot water flushing create a complete drain maintenance strategy for restaurants:
1. Hydro Jetting Clears the Lines
High-pressure water removes stubborn grease and debris from your drain pipes, restoring full flow.
2. Grease Trap Cleaning Prevents System Overload
Our grease trap trucks pump and clean traps to stop fats and oils from entering your drains and city sewer lines.
3. Hot Water Flushing Maintains Cleanliness
Regular flushing keeps grease from solidifying, reducing odours and preventing new clogs.
Together, these services protect your kitchen from costly downtime, maintain compliance, and ensure a safe, efficient work environment.
