Restaurant Drain Cleaning in Sterling Heights, MI
Restaurant drains live and die by grease management. We hydro jet grease-heavy kitchen and floor drains and keep them flowing.

Restaurant Drain Cleaning in Sterling Heights & Metro Detroit
Restaurant and commercial kitchen drains handle enormous volumes of grease, food waste, and hot water every day. Fats, oils, and grease (FOG) coat the lines and harden into blockages that cause backups, foul odors, and the kind of downtime no food business can afford. Restaurant drain cleaning with hydro jetting cuts through the grease completely.
We schedule around service hours, work with your grease-trap maintenance, and offer preventive jetting plans so your kitchen and floor drains never reach the point of a backup during a busy shift.
In a commercial kitchen, grease isn't an occasional problem — it's a daily input. Dish pits, prep sinks, woks, and fryers send a steady stream of FOG down the lines, and even a well-maintained grease trap only catches part of it. What gets past coats the pipe downstream, hardens, and builds until the line chokes. Because the volume is so much higher than a home, commercial lines clog faster and the stakes are higher: a backup during service can mean a shut-down kitchen, a failed health inspection, and lost revenue in a single afternoon.
Hydro jetting is the industry-standard answer because it removes the grease rather than bypassing it — high-pressure jets emulsify the FOG off the full pipe wall and flush it out, restoring the line to its real capacity. The smarter operators treat it as routine maintenance rather than emergency repair: a preventive schedule matched to your volume keeps kitchen lines and floor drains clear so backups stop happening at the worst possible time. We work before opening, after close, or during slow periods, and coordinate with your grease-trap service so the whole system stays ahead of trouble.
