How to Keep Your Commercial Kitchen Pipes Clear
Running a cafe or restaurant in Melbourne means high water usage and frequent grease, food, and debris entering your drains. Without proper care, blocked drains and plumbing issues can disrupt service, damage your property, and create health risks. Regular maintenance is key to keeping your commercial kitchen running smoothly.
At Plumbsave, we provide professional commercial plumbing services in Melbourne, including drain cleaning, grease trap maintenance, and preventive plumbing inspections to help restaurants and cafes avoid costly downtime.
Weekly Plumbing Tips for Your Commercial Kitchen
- Clear Grease Traps: Remove grease and solids to prevent buildup and blockages.
- Flush Floor Drains: Pour hot water down floor drains to keep oils and food particles from accumulating.
- Check Sink Connections: Inspect under-sink plumbing for leaks, loose fittings, or corrosion.
- Inspect Dishwashers and Equipment: Ensure hoses and drains are free from clogs and securely connected.
Monthly Plumbing Tips
- Clean Drain Lines: Use safe enzymatic cleaners to remove organic buildup.
- Inspect All Pipes: Look for corrosion, cracks, or leaking joints under sinks, prep areas, and appliances.
- Test Backflow Devices: Ensure backflow prevention devices are functioning to protect your water supply.
