Imagine one day you are working and notice that either your business’s toilets are backed up, the kitchen sink is not draining or there’s noticeable pooling on the floor or around appliances. Some common commercial drain clogs that occur in kitchens, bathrooms, and along floors may be easy to fix quickly yourself. Others require a professional with quality tools and training to ensure the issue is properly fixed and won’t become a regular occurrence. Waiting too long to fix a drain or having frequent, costly repairs can delay operations, prevent or slow necessary tasks, and create negative impressions for your employees and customers.

Signs of a Clogged Drain in Your Business

During the workday, it can be easy to just ignore signs that your drains are clogged and continue with business as usual, but this can lead to more extensive repairs later and business delays and difficulties. Signs of a clogged drain can be easy to spot — just look for instances of overflowing water, backups, flooding, leaking drain lines or long drainage times.

To best prevent drain clogs, avoid placing these items down your sinks and other drains:

  • Coffee grounds
  • Bones
  • Fibrous materials like celery or corn husks
  • Fats and oils
  • Eggshells
  • Solid materials
  • Pasta

How to Unclog a Drain

Sometimes, clogged commercial drains can be relatively serious and must be fixed quickly by a professional to avoid additional damage to your building’s plumbing system. Others are simple fixes that can be performed by you or your employees.

When you have a clogged drain, you can attempt these methods to easily and effectively clear the drain:

  • Kitchen: The handiest tool in your belt for most commercial clogs is a plunger. To try removing a clog in your kitchen sink, place a plunger over the mouth of the drain, forming a tight seal. Then, pump the plunger several times, checking to see if water is flowing. If not, then you can try to disconnect the drain trap — the u-shaped piece of plumbing under your sink. With that piece removed, you may be able to find and remove the clog.
  • Bathroom: For bathroom clogs, you will also want to use a plunger, although not the one you use for kitchen clogs. If there is a clog in the toilet, form a tight seal over the drain and give a few strokes to the plunger, checking if the water runs through. For bathroom sink clogs, follow a similar process to clearing kitchen sink clogs.
  • Floor drains: To effectively clear floor drains, clear the trap located underneath the backflow using a wet/dry vacuum to clear the debris, then use a drain snake to clear any remaining clogs.

Whenever you have a clogged drain, never attempt to use harsh chemicals to remove the clog. While these drain cleaners may appear to work initially, there is a high likelihood that the clog will return again in the near future. These cleaners may cause extensive plumbing damage to pipes and other components.
