Commercial Plumbing
Commercial drain cleaning in Oklahoma City is about keeping your doors open. A clogged kitchen line, a backed-up floor drain or a main sewer stoppage can shut down a restaurant or close a restroom wing until it is cleared. We clear the line, jet grease and buildup out of the pipe, and camera it so you know whether it will happen again. We answer 24/7.

(405) 309-1873Commercial drains work harder than household drains. More people, more fixtures and, in food service, a steady load of grease. Our commercial drain cleaning covers every part of the system:
Grease is the big one. The U.S. EPA reports that grease from restaurants, homes and industrial sources is the most common cause of reported sewer blockages, at 47 percent, because it solidifies and chokes the pipe.
Snaking a grease line pokes a hole through the clog and leaves most of the grease on the pipe wall, so the line closes again quickly. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water through a nozzle that scours the full pipe diameter, washing the grease, scale and food solids out toward the interceptor and the sewer.
For restaurant grease lines, we usually:
The plumbing code adopted in Oklahoma requires drain pipe upstream of a grease interceptor to slope at least 1/4 inch per foot, twice the usual minimum for 3- to 6-inch pipe. A line with less fall than that will keep collecting grease no matter how often it is cleaned, and the camera shows it.
Oklahoma City treats grease seriously, because the City says fats, oils and grease build up in private pipes and City mains and can back sewage into homes and businesses. For a restaurant, the City warns that a backup can mean several days of closure. The rules that matter most:

| Method | Best for | Limits |
|---|---|---|
| Cable machine | Opening a stoppage fast, paper and solids in restroom lines | Leaves grease and scale on the pipe wall |
| Hydro jetting | Grease lines, scale and sludge, full-diameter cleaning | Pipe must be sound enough for the pressure |
| Camera inspection | Finding why a line keeps clogging | Line must be cleared first for a clear picture |
| Interceptor pumping | Removing grease and solids held in the interceptor | Must be done by a City-permitted transporter |
We price the actual job after we see the system. The main factors:
The cheapest stoppage is the one that never happens. Scheduled jetting, staff habits and a regular camera check keep most kitchens running between visits. We can fold drain cleaning into a broader commercial plumbing maintenance plan that also covers restrooms, water heaters and backflow test dates. To learn who you are working with, meet our team.
Local, licensed and insured
24/7
A commercial kitchen cannot shut down for a plumber at noon on a Friday. We answer 24/7 and can schedule drain cleaning and jetting before opening, after closing or overnight, so staff walk into working drains. When a stoppage hits during service, we focus on getting the critical sinks, floor drains and restrooms working first, then finish the full cleaning when it will not disrupt customers.
Licensed
Commercial drains bring larger pipe, grease interceptors, longer runs and code rules that homes do not have. Our team has more than 40 years of plumbing experience behind it, and our plumbers are licensed and insured. When cleaning reveals a broken line, a missing cleanout or an interceptor problem, the same licensed team can make the repair and handle the permit instead of handing you off to another company.

These guys were great! A breath of fresh air from the usual contractor/service. They cared about fixing the problem not how much they can charge. I had a same day service need, leak in between floors, the day before a trip. They came out same day and presented multiple solutions as well as keen explanations.
Mr. Robert has amazing customer service and work ethic. He fixed our toilet very quickly and explained everything that he was doing, and even showed us the finished product. Awesome work!
After having issues with my bathroom and kitchen plumbing for a few days, I contacted Plumber Oklahoma City, OK Plumbing & Repair this morning. He told me he was very busy, but would work to schedule our repair in with his team.

It depends on the menu, the volume and how well grease is kept out of the drains. Fryers and wok stations load lines faster than a coffee shop does. We set a schedule from what the first camera inspection shows and adjust it after the next cleaning. Lines between the kitchen fixtures and the grease interceptor usually need attention most.
Pumping is a separate service. Oklahoma City requires food service businesses to use only City-permitted transporters to clean out and haul grease trap and interceptor waste, and traps must be pumped out completely. We clean and jet the lines leading into and out of the interceptor, and we can time our visit with your hauler's so both happen together.
Not without approval. Oklahoma City prohibits enzymes, bacteria and other bio-remediation products in grease traps and interceptors unless the City approves them in advance. The City warns that these products can break grease into fatty acids that re-form downstream and block sewer lines. Mechanical cleaning, jetting and good kitchen habits are the reliable route.
Not when it is done with the right nozzle and pressure for the pipe. We camera the line first and match the jetting setup to the material and condition, whether that is newer plastic or older cast iron. If the camera shows a cracked or badly corroded section, we adjust the approach or recommend a repair instead of pushing through it.
Oklahoma City's guidance for restaurants is simple: pour oil and grease into a container, scrape food scraps into the trash, wipe grease from cookware before washing, and use catch baskets in sinks and screens on floor drains. The City also notes that running a garbage disposal does not keep grease out of the drain. Those habits stretch the time between cleanings.
