Regular cleaning and maintenance can help keep the drains in good condition and functioning properly.
Here are some tips to help you maintain drains in a restaurant:
1. Clean grease traps regularly - Grease traps are designed to capture food debris, oil, and grease before it enters the drain pipes. Failing to clean these traps regularly can lead to a build-up of grease, resulting in blockages and bad odors. Make sure to empty the trap at least every month and clean it with hot water or a degreaser.
2. Install strainers and garbage disposals - Strainers help catch large solid particles while garbage disposals grind up food waste so it can flow through the pipe more easily. If installed correctly, they also help prevent clogging by reducing the amount of food waste that goes down the drain.
3. Perform regular inspections - Clogs won't happen overnight; they tend to slowly build up over time. That's why it's important to do regular inspections of your piping system as well as check under sinks for signs of corrosion or buildup of organic matter like hair or soap scum.
4. Use non-corrosive cleaners - Many harsh chemical cleaners contain corrosive ingredients which can corrode pipes over time if used frequently. To protect your pipes from corrosion, use non-corrosive cleaners made specifically for drain maintenance instead.
5. Use hot water regularly - Hot water helps dissolve fats, oils and other greasy substances that may be stuck in your drains which could cause clogs over time if not removed properly. Flush out your drains with hot water at least once a week to keep them running smoothly without any issues!
