The Importance of Maintaining your Restaurant or Bar's Plumbing

These days, restaurants and bars rely heavily on their plumbing systems, because it represents an environment where the waste water supply and debris drainage are of utmost importance. There are quite a few plumbing services for bars and restaurants that are required for these certain businesses. There are different types of bars and restaurants each unique with their own specific plumbing specifications.

The biggest part of maintaining top notch performance and cleanliness standards for your restaurant or pubs pipes include a regular drain cleaning and maintenance. Before conducting pipe cleaning and maintenance for your bar or restaurant, is it critical to understand why it is necessary.

I am sure you do not want to have to close down an area of the restaurant or bar during a peak time in which you are crowded and having guests leave your establishment. How about a toilet or urinal in your restroom that over flows? Not only is it unsanitary, but it will cost you money. Money that is lost from having customers hit the road.

Grease Trap Maintenance

Grease traps are the most common plumbing repairs and services for restaurants. Grease traps are devices that all of your wastewater flows into your interior or exterior grease trap. Your grease trap separates the fat, grease, and oil from the rest of the wastewater. It allows the rest of the clean water to flow out while keeping these types of particles in. The wastewater in restaurants can contain large amounts of solid waste, due to the involvement of food and oily ingredients. The collected grease will float to the top while the solids will settle to the bottom of the grease interceptor. Since grease traps work very hard collecting unwanted food particles, it needs to be pumped and cleaned out on a regular basis. The frequency depends on the condition of the traps and how often they are put to work.

Drain Pipe Maintenance

Regular routine maintenance of your restaurant or bar's pipes is required, period, end of story. Drainage backup occurs quite a bit and I am sure you can imagine why with all the food debris and such going down the drains everyday. For the ultimate prevention, you should have your restaurant drains cleaned at least four times a year (every change of season works) by a professional plumbing company. Most all restaurant or bar drain maintenance services include drain pipe cleaning with the use of a heavy duty plumbing snake. 

In some cases, your bar or restaurant can encounter an unusually high amount of grease that tends to cause some serious backup problems. If this is the case, your plumbing technician's maintenance service may include hydro-jetting, a process in which highly pressurized water is used to clean and maintain pipes and drains. It works by pushing debris out of pipes and pulverizing solid objects in order to totally free up the drain.

Bathroom and Kitchen Plumbing Repairs

The kitchen is the life line of your restaurant. If your kitchen plumbing is in bad shape, your restaurant won't perform correctly. It is important that all kitchen plumbing fixtures are in tip top shape, and that you comply with your state’s business regulations on plumbing. The average restaurant can have hundreds of customers pass through each day, and your restaurant plumbing needs to be performing correctly to handle it. Having lousy plumbing can reduce your profits as a restaurant or bar owner.

With the extended water use in both restaurants and bars, it is very common to succumb from reduced water pressure or a leaking toilet or sink. When repairing restaurant plumbing it is considered standard practice that everything is in 100% working order to ensure that compliance and safety in the work environment are always perfect.

At some point of being a restaurant or bar owner, you can fully expect your establishment to suffer from backed up bathrooms. Overflowing toilets or urinals and broken sinks will scare away your customers, so it is important that you are taking steps in preventative plumbing maintenance and that you are on top of fixing issues as they happen Putting off a leaky urinal during your busiest time of the day is only going to cause more problems.

Suspicious Sewer Odors

Some of these places include, but are not limited to: Vents Floor drains Utility Sinks Connection points Openings in pipeline Maintenance covers Sewer odors do not typically enter homes because plumbing traps create a tight water seal at several points of entry.
