About this service

What Restaurant Kitchen Drain Cleaning in Melrose Park, Illinois Involves

Restaurant kitchen drain cleaning in Melrose Park, Illinois is a commercial plumbing service that removes grease, food particles, soap scum, and sludge from kitchen drain lines before they cause backups or health code violations. We start by inspecting your drain pipe with a camera to locate the clog, then use a drain snake or auger to break up soft blockages. For heavy grease buildup, we bring in a hydro jetting machine that scours the pipe walls clean at up to 4,000 PSI. Every job ends with a flow test so you know the line is clear.

Melrose Park restaurants run hard. Kitchens along Broadway Avenue and Lake Street serve hundreds of covers a day, and all that cooking oil, dairy, and food waste goes down the drain. Over time, grease cools inside the p-trap and drain pipe, narrowing the opening until water backs up into your prep sink or floor drain. If you are dealing with a slow draining sink or standing water, call us for restaurant drain unclogging melrose park il before the problem shuts down your kitchen.

What's included

What Our Restaurant Kitchen Drain Cleaning Includes

Every restaurant kitchen drain cleaning job includes the essentials: inspection, clog removal, flow test, and cleanup. We also offer add-on services like preventive maintenance plans and camera inspections if you want ongoing protection.

✓

Drain Camera Inspection

We run a drain camera through your kitchen line to locate the clog and check for pipe damage. This helps us choose the right removal method and confirm the line is clear after service.

✓

Grease and Sludge Removal

We remove grease clogs, food particle buildup, and soap scum from your drain pipe. For heavy buildup, we use hydro jetting to scour the pipe walls clean at up to 4,000 PSI.

✓

P-Trap Cleaning

The p-trap catches debris before it enters your main drain. We clean or replace the p-trap as part of the service to ensure full flow and prevent leaks.

✓

Flow Test and Verification

After clearing the line, we run hot water through the drain and watch the flow. We do not leave until the drain pipe is clear and flowing at full capacity. You see the results.

✓

Cleanup and Written Summary

We wipe down the work area, haul away debris, and give you a written summary of what we found and what we did. If you need a maintenance plan, we set it up before we leave.

How it works

Our Restaurant Kitchen Drain Cleaning Process

01

Phone Diagnosis

You call 708-726-5955 and describe the problem. Is it one sink or multiple? Is there standing water in the floor drain? We ask the right questions to dispatch the correct equipment. Most calls are scheduled for same-day service, and emergency calls get priority. You get a tech name and an arrival window.

02

On-Site Inspection

Our licensed plumber arrives, puts on gloves, and inspects the drain pipe, p-trap, and garbage disposal unit if present. We run water to confirm the backup and check for p-trap leaks or pipe damage. If the clog is deep in the main sewer line, we use a drain camera to see exactly what we are dealing with.

03

Clog Removal

For soft clogs, we use a drain snake or auger to break up the blockage. For grease or heavy sludge, we switch to a hydro jetting machine that blasts water at high pressure to scour the pipe walls. The process takes 45 minutes to 2 hours depending on line length and clog severity. We protect your floor and equipment while we work.

04

Flow Test and Camera Check

After clearing the line, we run hot water through the drain and watch the flow. If water drains slowly, we run the camera again to find any remaining debris. We do not leave until the drain pipe is clear and flowing at full capacity. You see the camera footage if you want proof.

05

Cleanup and Maintenance Plan

We wipe down the work area, haul away debris, and give you a written summary of what we found. If your kitchen produces heavy grease, we recommend a preventive drain maintenance schedule every 3 to 6 months. We can set up a recurring service so you never deal with a backup during service again.

Real results

Before and after.

Grease Clog in a Broadway Avenue Restaurant

Before

A busy restaurant on Broadway Avenue had a kitchen sink that drained slowly for weeks. By Friday night, water was backing up into the prep sink and the floor drain was standing. The kitchen had to stop service for 45 minutes.

After

We hydro jetted the line and removed over 20 feet of grease buildup from the pipe wall. The drain flowed at full capacity immediately. The restaurant finished service that night without further issues.

Main Sewer Line Clog at a Lake Street Kitchen

Before

A high-volume kitchen on Lake Street had standing water in the floor drain and slow drainage at every sink. The manager thought it was a single sink clog, but the camera showed a main sewer line blockage 30 feet out.

After

We used a drain snake to break up the initial clog, then hydro jetted the main line to remove food particles and sludge. The camera confirmed the line was clear. All sinks and floor drains drained normally.

P-Trap Leak and Garbage Disposal Jam in Melrose Park

Before

A small cafe near Winston Park had water leaking under the sink and a garbage disposal unit that would not drain. The p-trap was cracked and the disposal was jammed with food particles.

After

We replaced the p-trap, cleared the disposal jam, and tested the entire drain line. The leak stopped and the sink drained freely. The repair took under two hours.
