Fat, oil, and grease (FOGs) are the enemies of commercial kitchen plumbing. They slide down the drain easily enough, but as they cool, they solidify and attach to the inner surface of the pipe. That blockage grows, attracting more FOGs, collecting food debris, and wreaking havoc on your drains.
Blocked drains from FOGs are the most common plumbing issue in commercial kitchens, so we have plenty of experience identifying and removing these blockages. Other common issues include grease trap malfunctions, backups in flood drains, damaged fixtures, and leaking sink connections.
Whatever the issue, if you need expert commercial kitchen plumbing in Virginia Beach, call Mr. Rooter® today.
Preventative Maintenance for Kitchens
Some plumbing issues are caused by general wear and tear, while others are a result of poorly fitted pipes and fixtures. Most stem from poor maintenance, and there are a number of steps you can take to avoid ill-timed plumbing emergencies in the future.
We offer routine drain cleaning and grease line flushing to remove FOGs and food debris and prevent blockages, as well as inspections to check that your drains are in full working order. Contact us to discuss our routine maintenance plans or to schedule a one-off visit, inspection, and cleaning before a health inspection.
