Some of the worst sewer lines are in restaurants.
- I often have sewer line repair and drain problems at the restaurants downtown.
Most of those places empty their grease down the sink and in the dishwasher. All of that grease and sludge goes somewhere. Sometimes parts of the grease and sludge remain in the pipe. As more grace and sludge comes through, the contents build up over time. Sometimes the contents can completely block the sewer pipe causing a backup. I went to a chicken and fish restaurant down the corner from the commercial plumbing business. I was there for lunch when the manager called the store to request services. I knew something was up in the restaurant, because there was quite a commotion and stir going on. Everyone was talking in whispers and the manager was walking around with a strange look on his face. My boss called me on the phone to see where I was at. I told him I was finishing up with lunch and he told me about the commercial plumbing job. I told my boss that I was actually at the restaurant. I figured something was going on with the plumbing comment because there was a huge sign on the bathroom that said closed. I finished my chicken and fries and then I asked that manager what was going on and how I could help. The sewer line was clogged up with grease and fat. All of the grease and fat needed to be removed in order for the sewer drain to run freely.
