Common Situations Where This Service Makes Sense
Floor drains in the cook line or dish area are overflowing with greasy or sewage-like water.
A grease trap or grease line is backing up into prep sinks, mop sinks, or floor drains.
A main sewer issue causes multiple kitchen and restroom fixtures to gurgle and back up.
You’ve had an emergency unclog but still have contamination on floors and around kitchen drains.
You’re facing health department concerns or want to document proper sanitation steps after an incident.
Safety & Kitchen Impact Assessment
We evaluate which areas, drains, and surfaces are affected, check for slip and electrical hazards, and identify how far contaminated water has spread (cook line, dish room, storage, walk paths).
Stop the Backup & Clear Grease/Sewer Lines
We locate the problem point (grease line, branch, or main) and use professional equipment to clear blockages—including grease buildup, food debris, and other obstructions—so no new contaminated water enters the kitchen.
Extraction of Contaminated Water & Sludge
We remove standing water, greasy waste, and solids from floors and affected zones, focusing on quick extraction to limit downtime and health risk.
Cleaning, Disinfection & Kitchen Surface Sanitizing
We clean and disinfect hard, non-porous surfaces in impacted areas—such as floor surfaces, floor drain areas, mop sink zones, and nearby bases and fixtures—using products appropriate for commercial kitchen environments.
Odor Control & Material Assessment
We apply odor-control measures where needed and identify porous or damaged materials (e.g., baseboards, wall finishes, certain mats) that may require removal or restoration beyond simple cleaning.
Final Review, Documentation & Prevention Plan
We explain what caused the backup, what we did to sanitize and clear the system, and what ongoing maintenance, repairs, or grease-management practices we recommend. We can provide basic documentation for management, corporate, or the health department as needed.
What’s Included
A typical restaurant kitchen sanitation after grease line or sewer backups service may include:
On-site assessment of affected kitchen and drain areas
Clearing of grease or sewer blockages to stop active backups
Extraction/removal of contaminated water, grease, and solids from hard surfaces
Cleaning and disinfection of impacted kitchen floors, drains, and selected fixtures
Basic odor-control treatment and identification of materials needing further restoration
Summary of plumbing findings and prevention recommendations (maintenance, grease practices, or repairs)
(Structural drying, large-scale demolition, and rebuild are typically handled by restoration contractors; we’ll tell you when that’s necessary.)
Costs & Timelines (What to Expect)
Cost and timing depend on:
Size of the kitchen and affected zones (cook line only vs cook line + dish room + storage).
Severity of the backup (shallow, localized spill vs widespread contamination).
Line condition: Simple grease clog vs heavier buildup, roots, or damaged line.
Business operations: Need for off-hours work or fast turnaround around service times.
After we assess your kitchen, we’ll provide a clear estimate and work with you to minimize disruption to service.
Insurance & Claims Help
Restaurant kitchen sewage/grease incidents often involve:
Health inspections and documentation
Cleanup, equipment protection, and possible product loss
Property or business-interruption claims
We can support you by:
Providing detailed descriptions and invoices outlining the plumbing cause, backup details, and sanitation steps.
Sharing photos and notes showing the affected areas and our response.
Communicating with your property manager, corporate facilities, risk manager, or restoration vendor on plumbing and sanitation aspects.
(We don’t decide on coverage or regulatory compliance, but we provide clear, accurate information for your stakeholders.)
Risks of Waiting (Why Act Now)
Sanitation and line clearing are key steps, but not always the whole story:
Soaked porous materials or finishes: Items like wallboard, some base materials, wood trim, and certain mats may need removal or replacement.
Hidden moisture: Water and grease can migrate under equipment, into wall cavities, or below flooring, requiring professional drying and mitigation.
Chronic grease problems: Repeated backups may require grease trap evaluation, line repairs, or more frequent maintenance.
Regulatory standards: Your corporate policies, franchise rules, or health department guidance may require broader remediation than basic sanitation alone.
We’ll be straightforward about where our work ends and where restoration or additional plumbing work is recommended.
Methods, Materials & Quality Standards
Cost and timing depend on:
Size of the kitchen and affected zones (cook line only vs cook line + dish room + storage).
Severity of the backup (shallow, localized spill vs widespread contamination).

After we assess your kitchen, we’ll provide a clear estimate and work with you to minimize disruption to service.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do we need to shut down the entire restaurant?
Not always. It depends on where contamination is and how it affects food prep and service areas. We’ll work with you and, if needed, your health inspector to determine safe operation.
Can our staff just mop it up?
Staff can help with minor cleanup, but grease and sewage backups usually require professional line clearing, extraction, and sanitation to meet health and safety expectations.
Do you work off-hours?
Yes. We understand restaurant schedules and can often schedule work during off-hours or slower times when feasible.
Will you help us avoid this in the future?
Yes. We’ll discuss maintenance schedules, grease trap practices, and any needed repairs to reduce repeat incidents.
Can you coordinate with our franchise/corporate or landlord?
Absolutely. We can communicate findings and recommendations to your corporate facilities team, franchise rep, or property manager.
