A commercial kitchen pushes more fat, starch and food scrap down its drains in one dinner rush than most homes manage in a whole month. Once the interceptor fills or the line past it glazes over, the dish pit floods and the kitchen stops. We work after close so the line is open before prep starts.
Why kitchen lines block
- Hot fat leaves the fryer station as a liquid and sets as it cools in the pipe.
- Starch from pasta water and rice binds it into a paste.
- Over a few weeks the bore shrinks to a slot and the floor sinks start to gurgle.
- A blocked interceptor outlet makes the whole thing back up at once.
When to ring us
- Floor sinks and hand sinks gurgling during the rush
- Sour smell rising from the dish pit drain
- Water pooling around the interceptor lid
- Pump-out company says the outlet line is slow
What the City expects
- Under its sewers by-law, Toronto has for years told restaurants and other food businesses that fats and oils must stay out of the city sewer, which in practice means a working interceptor plus a log of cleanings.
- Inspectors can ask to see them.
- Rules get updated, so confirm the current version with the City, and file every service note we leave you with the rest of your paperwork.
How we clear it without closing you
- We book the job after the last ticket.
- The interceptor is opened, the baffles and flow restrictor are checked, and the line downstream is cabled to break the plug and then jetted to scour the glaze off the pipe wall.
- By morning the dish pit drains and the floor is mopped dry.
