Drain Jetting Services

Restaurant drains work harder than almost any other plumbing system. Grease, food waste, and soap build up fast. When lines slow down, everything backs up behind them.

Colorado Pumping has been keeping commercial sewer and drain systems flowing since 1975. We work with dozens of local restaurants and food service businesses across Denver and the surrounding Front Range. Many of them are long-term clients on routine jetting schedules because prevention costs far less than emergency shutdowns.

What hydro jetting does for restaurant drain systems

Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to clean pipes from the inside out. It does not just poke a hole through grease. It removes it.

Hydro jetting is ideal for restaurants because it:

• • Strips grease, fats, and oils from pipe walls
  • Clears food waste and organic sludge
  • Restores full pipe diameter
  • Improves flow and reduces odors
  • Helps prevent surprise backups during service hours

This is not a temporary fix. It is a true cleaning process.  If your drains are slowing down or backing up regularly, it is time for jetting, not another snake.

Drain jetting vs sewer jetting for commercial kitchens

Not all blockages are in the same place. Restaurants often need both services at different times.

Drain jetting is used for:

• • Floor drains
  • Prep sinks
  • Mop sinks
  • Interior kitchen lines

Sewer jetting is used for:

• • Main sewer laterals
  • Grease-heavy exterior lines
  • Lines leading to the city sewer

We assess the system first and recommend the correct approach. No guesswork. No upselling.  Unsure where your issue starts? We can identify it quickly.

Common drain problems we solve for restaurants

We see the same issues again and again in commercial kitchens.

Hydro jetting solves problems like:

• • Constantly slow floor drains
  • Recurring backups after snaking
  • Grease trap overflow issues
  • Sewer odors in kitchens or dining areas
  • Emergency shutdowns during peak hours
  • Drain-related health inspection failures

Most of these problems are preventable with routine service.  If you are calling for drain issues more than once a year, a maintenance plan makes sense.

Preventative hydro jetting maintenance plans

This is where hydro jetting delivers the most value. Routine service keeps pipes clean and reduces emergencies.

Preventative jetting helps restaurants:

• • Avoid emergency calls and downtime
  • Keep kitchens operational during service hours
  • Protect aging sewer lines
  • Budget more predictably for maintenance

Common schedules include:

• • Monthly jetting for high-volume kitchens
  • Quarterly jetting for moderate grease output
  • Custom plans based on usage and pipe condition

Many of our restaurant clients have been with us for years because this approach works.  We can build a jetting schedule that fits your kitchen and your hours.

Backups do not wait for a convenient time. When a line fails, you need it cleared fast.
