Restaurants & commercial kitchens
Nothing in a kitchen goes wrong slowly. The three-compartment sink backs up during prep and suddenly you are deciding whether to seat the next table.
Commercial kitchen lines are a different animal. The volume of fat, oil and grease is enormous, the water is hot enough to carry it well past the trap before it cools, and it then hardens in the horizontal run where nobody can see it. Cabling a line like that opens a channel that closes again within weeks, which is why so many kitchens end up on first-name terms with a drain company.
So kitchen lines get jetted, not cabled, and they get scheduled around your service rather than around ours. Tell us your window and we work inside it, at no premium for the hours.

Pumped the trap and still backing up?
Then the trap was not the problem. An outlet line packed with hardened grease looks exactly like a full trap from the kitchen side, and pumping it again changes nothing. The line either side of the trap is the part nobody services.

Questions about restaurants & kitchens
Can you work after close or before opening?
Yes, and it is what we recommend. There is no surcharge for those hours. The only question is which window causes the least disruption to your service.
How often should our lines be jetted?
It depends on your volume and menu, so we camera before quoting a schedule. High-volume fryer kitchens are often quarterly. A cafe with limited cooking may go annually, and we will tell you that rather than sell you quarterly.
