Drain Line Opening
High pressure water jetting & drain line cleaning to keep your business running smoothly.
Drain line cleaning is a necessary part of your restaurant or business' waste management plan. Proper maintenance can prevent most clogs or backups in your main sewer line, but every once in a while things get flushed that shouldn't have, and grease can build up easily if your trap isn't working efficiently. Regardless of your drain cleaning or septic needs, we offer reliable line opening solutions 7 days a week for restaurants and businesses throughout Central PA, including Lancaster, York, Dauphin and Lebanon counties.
Line Opening Service in Central, Pa
Whether you're experiencing a blockage in the drain line, or a major septic backup, we have the equipment needed to break up solids and remove the clog. A high pressure jet is used when you are unable to resolve the clog with a "snake" or other DIY solutions. This is typically because the clog is much further down your pipes, in your main sewer line, or because a pipe has grown closed over time due to grease buildup and other debris.
A jetting system consists of a specialized hose reel confined to a truck or trailer. High pressure water from the hose can break down dirt, debris and grease buildup in your pipes. It's a highly efficient way to remove a clog and open drain lines, but it also has it's limitations. Because the hose reel and pressure system is attached to a truck or trailer, our technician must be able to park close to your business.
When it's not possible to get a hose reel into your business - in the event your problem is on the second floor, or your restaurant kitchen is on a lower level etc. - we can address your problem with a sewer cable or auger. A cable is also a better option if you're trying to retrieve something from the drain line, for example, a toddler flushed something down the drain and you need it back. Or, there are times when adding more water to the line is not possible so a jet would be out of the question. In these situations, our technicians would use a sewer cable or auger to unclog your drain line and avoid a mess. A sewer cable or auger is a coiled cable inside of a drum, attached to a motor that feeds the cable down the line. This can either "grab" the clog in your line or force it out of the pipe to get things flowing again.

Avoid a future backup with these simple tips:
The easiest way to prevent a main line backup at your restaurant or business is to make sure your patrons aren't flushing items they shouldn't be in your bathrooms. It's also important to have your grease trap serviced regularly. If you’re new to the restaurant business or you’re not sure your small operation needs a grease trap, we’re happy to review your kitchen habits and help you create some best practices for grease and waste removal. The more grease your establishment produces, the more often your trap will need to be serviced. If your menu includes fried food you’ll definitely need to consider a regular maintenance plan.
Make sure your food prep and wash sinks are tied into a trap. Regardless of the types of food you prepare, this will help prevent food particles, grease and debris from going down the drain.
Train your staff to dump food waste and grease from pots/pans and dishes into the trash – not down the drain. This will make dish washing easier too!
Ensure your trap is the right size for your business. If your business has grown or your menu has changed but your kitchen has not, make sure your trap can handle the amount of waste you’re producing. If you’re not sure how to check, ask one of our friendly technicians. We’re happy to review your kitchen and your trap to make sure everything is functioning properly.
Make sure your bathrooms have septic-friendly toilet paper and patrons have trashcans available for feminine products, paper towels and other items they may be tempted to flush. Hang a sign as a reminder if necessary.
