Drain Line Jetting

High-pressure drain cleaning

Drain line jetting for grease-heavy commercial kitchens

When kitchen lines keep slowing down, jetting helps remove grease, sludge, scale, and buildup from inside the pipe instead of only punching a temporary hole through the clog.

Pumping and jetting work together

Grease trap pumping removes the collected waste from the trap or interceptor. Jetting addresses buildup in the drain line itself. A kitchen with both trap issues and downstream line buildup may need both services to stop repeat problems.

The photos below show the type of grease and solids that can build up before service. Keeping the trap clean reduces the amount of FOG that reaches the drain line.

Grease buildup starts before the line clogs

Before outdoor grease trap cleaning, an open manhole-style grease trap access shows a thick layer of grease and solids inside.
Before

Outdoor trap with heavy buildup

The access opening shows accumulated grease and solids that need to be removed before they move downstream.

After outdoor grease trap cleaning, the open grease trap access shows the visible surface buildup removed after pumping.
After

Surface buildup removed

The trap has been serviced and the heavy visible buildup has been pumped out, leaving the access area clear for inspection.

Common signs you need jetting

Recurring slow drains

Floor sinks, dish lines, mop sinks, or prep-area drains slow down again soon after being cleared.

Grease odors

Odors come back even when the trap has recently been serviced.

Backups during service

Water or waste appears at floor drains during high-volume kitchen hours.
