Quick answer: Yes. We are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and a backed up kitchen is a priority call. We work to get water moving with as little disruption to the line as possible. Once you are back in service, we can return after close to jet the line fully and prevent a repeat.
A restaurant kitchen is hard on drains. Grease, starch, rice, coffee grounds and food scraps all head the same way, and hot water carries grease down the line until it cools and sticks. Over weeks the pipe narrows. Then one busy Friday the dish sink backs up, the floor drains fill and the kitchen stops. Fullerton handles both sides of that problem. We respond any hour to clear a backup, and we set up regular service so it stops happening in the first place. Fast response and steady maintenance go together.
Our drain team works on three sinks, prep sinks, dish machine drains, mop sinks, floor drains and trench drains. We use cable machines for hard blockages and hydro jetting to scour grease from the full pipe wall. When clogs keep coming back, we run a camera and show you exactly where the buildup sits. Work is scheduled after close or before prep whenever possible, and we clean up so your kitchen is ready for the next shift. You get an upfront quote before work starts. We also coordinate with grease trap service.

How it works
Our Restaurant Drain Service Process
Respond and assess
When a kitchen calls with a backup, we get a technician moving and find out which drains are affected. On arrival we locate the cleanouts, check the grease trap and figure out whether the clog is in a branch line or the main.
Clear the clog
We use a cable machine to open the blockage and get water moving so the kitchen can work again. For grease heavy lines, we follow up with hydro jetting to scour the pipe walls instead of just punching a hole through the buildup.
Find the cause
For repeat problems we run a sewer camera and show you the live view. You see the grease buildup, sags or debris. We record the footage and mark the location so you know which line needs attention.
Set a schedule
Based on what the camera shows and your clog history, we recommend a jetting schedule during your closed hours. Regular cleaning keeps grease from building up to the point of a backup during a busy service.
New Jersey drains
Restaurant Drain Service From the Shore to North Jersey
New Jersey"s restaurant scene runs on very different rhythms. Shore towns along Route 35 and the boardwalks see kitchens go from quiet in winter to packed in July, and the drains feel that change all at once. High water tables and sandy soil at the Shore can also make slow lines worse. We suggest a full jetting before the summer season opens, so kitchens start the busy months with clean lines. Shore kitchens that close for winter should also have lines checked before reopening, since grease left sitting for months can harden.
In North Jersey, restaurants in Hoboken, Jersey City and Montclair often sit in older buildings with cast iron lines and tight basements. In the suburbs along Route 18 and Route 1, strip mall restaurants share mains with neighboring stores, so one kitchen"s grease can back up a whole row. We work in all of those settings, after close and before prep. Tight basements and shared mains take planning, so we review access with you or the property owner ahead of time. That way the work fits your hours and nothing surprises the kitchen staff.
Pricing
What Shapes the Cost of Restaurant Drain Service
Restaurant drain service depends on the lines and the timing. A single slow sink takes less work than a main line backup that has flooded the floor drains. Grease heavy lines that need jetting take longer than a simple cable clearing, and camera inspection adds time when the cause is unclear. Emergency calls during service hours and access limits in older buildings also matter. Kitchens on a regular jetting schedule usually spend less than kitchens that wait for backups. We give you an upfront quote before work starts.

FAQ
Restaurant Drain Service Questions, Answered
Yes. We are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and a backed up kitchen is a priority call. We work to get water moving with as little disruption to the line as possible. Once you are back in service, we can return after close to jet the line fully and prevent a repeat.
It varies with the menu, volume and the condition of the pipe. High volume fryer kitchens often need more frequent jetting than a cafe. We start with a camera look and your clog history, then suggest a schedule. After a few visits, we adjust it based on how much buildup we actually find each time.
Floor drains have a trap that should hold water to block sewer gas. If the trap dries out, or grease and food solids rot inside the drain body and line, odors come back into the kitchen. We clean the drain and line, and pouring water into rarely used drains keeps the trap sealed.
Often it is not. A cable machine opens a path through the grease, but much of the buildup stays on the pipe walls and the clog returns quickly. Hydro jetting scours the full diameter of the pipe. For most grease heavy restaurant lines, we recommend jetting after the first clearing to get lasting results.
Yes. Grease trap cleaning and kitchen line cleaning work best together. A full trap sends grease into the lines, and a greasy line can hide a trap problem. Fullerton handles both, so we can pump the trap and jet the connected lines on the same visit during your closed hours.
