When a commercial drain backs up, it’s more than a plumbing problem—it becomes a business problem. Whether you own a restaurant, apartment complex, nursing home, shopping center, office building, school, warehouse, manufacturing facility, or municipal property, a clogged drain or sewer line can interrupt operations, create health concerns, and cost your business valuable time and money.
At Superior Sewer & Drain Service, commercial drain cleaning is one of our specialties. We provide commercial drain cleaning, commercial hydro jetting, sewer camera inspections, grease line cleaning, and preventative drain maintenance for businesses throughout Southeastern Connecticut and Southern Rhode Island.
We Know Your Business Can’t Afford Downtime
As a small business owner myself, I understand what’s at stake when your business can’t operate.
A drain backup during lunch service can force a restaurant to stop serving customers. A clogged sewer line can put restrooms out of service in an office building, interrupt production at a manufacturing facility, or affect multiple tenants in an apartment complex. Every hour of downtime can mean lost revenue, unhappy customers, frustrated employees, and unnecessary stress.
That’s why we make every reasonable effort to provide prompt, often same-day service whenever possible. Commercial customers receive top priority whenever our schedule allows because we understand that shutting your doors simply isn’t an option.
Our goal isn’t just to fix your drain. It’s to help keep your business operating.
We Don’t Just Get the Water Flowing
One of the biggest differences between Superior Sewer & Drain Service and many other drain cleaning companies is our approach.
Many contractors focus on opening the blockage just enough for the water to drain. While that solves the immediate problem, it often leaves grease, sludge, scale, and debris coating the inside of the pipe. Before long, the line clogs again and the cycle repeats itself.
Our goal is different.
We don’t just want your drain flowing—we want the pipeline as clean as possible.
Depending on the condition of the pipe, we use high-speed pipe milling, high-velocity water jetting, or a combination of both to remove years of buildup from the pipe walls. A cleaner pipeline means better flow, fewer emergency service calls, and longer periods between maintenance cleanings.
Commercial Hydro Jetting
One of the most effective ways to clean a commercial sewer line is with high-velocity water jetting.
Imagine taking a 4,000 PSI pressure washer and placing the cleaning nozzle inside your sewer line. Powerful rear-facing jets pull the hose through the pipeline while blasting grease, sludge, soap residue, food waste, and other buildup from the pipe walls.
Unlike a traditional drain snake, hydro jetting doesn’t simply poke a hole through a clog—it thoroughly cleans the inside of the pipeline. The cleaner the pipe walls are, the harder it is for grease and debris to build up again.
Hydro jetting is an excellent solution for restaurants, commercial kitchens, apartment complexes, office buildings, shopping centers, manufacturing facilities, municipal sewer systems, and virtually any commercial drainage system that experiences recurring buildup.
High-Speed Pipe Milling
Some commercial drainage systems require more than water alone.
Years of hardened grease, mineral scale, roots, concrete slurry, and other stubborn buildup often require specialized high-speed pipe milling before the pipeline can be completely cleaned.
Our milling equipment mechanically removes these deposits, allowing our trailer-mounted hydro jetting equipment to thoroughly clean the rest of the pipeline.
Using the right equipment for the condition of the pipe helps provide a more complete cleaning and longer-lasting results.
Sewer Camera Inspections
Cleaning the line is only part of the job.
After the pipeline has been cleaned, we can inspect it with a professional sewer camera to identify tree roots, broken pipes, cracked clay sewer lines, offset joints, collapsed sections, grease buildup, or other structural defects.
Instead of guessing what’s causing recurring problems, you’ll know exactly what condition your drainage system is in, allowing you to make informed decisions about future repairs.
Preventative Commercial Drain Maintenance
The best drain backup is the one that never happens.
Many commercial emergencies can be prevented with routine maintenance. After evaluating your drainage system, we’ll recommend a maintenance schedule that’s appropriate for your facility.
Depending on your business, we may recommend:
- Quarterly commercial drain cleaning
- Biannual commercial drain cleaning
- Annual commercial drain cleaning
Every maintenance plan is customized to your business based on the condition of your piping, the type of facility you operate, and how heavily your drainage system is used.
Preventative maintenance helps:
- Reduce emergency drain backups
- Remove grease before it causes blockages
- Improve drainage performance
- Extend the life of your drainage system
- Identify developing problems before they become expensive repairs
- Minimize business interruptions and downtime
For many businesses, scheduled maintenance costs far less than dealing with an unexpected sewer backup during normal business hours.
