You try to do everything you can to make your business successful. Sometimes that means working late hours or firing bad employees. Hopefully, it doesn’t involve enduring and paying for plumbing emergencies. We know how much valuable time and money can be lost when having to repair drain line and septic issues. To make sure you’re staying on top of plumbing maintenance, we recommend you schedule the following services to minimize your chances of a disastrous plumbing emergency.

Grease Trap
Whether you have an indoor or outdoor grease trap, it needs to be serviced on a regular basis. This means a professional technician must disassemble it and clean all the parts to keep your wastewater flowing as it should 365 days a year. Make sure you aren’t using a company who will cut corners and just skim grease off the top. Use a thorough company like Kaiser-Battistone who employs a 14-point inspection process when servicing grease traps.

Drain Lines
You may not have slow drains at this very moment, but that doesn’t mean food and debris aren’t collecting in your pipes. Regular drain cleaning is important for businesses because clogs can form at the worst possible times, and you don’t want to be stuck with clogged sinks during a busy lunch period. When you are suffering obstructions, Kaiser-Battistone can snake drains or make pipe repairs quickly. However, periodic jetting is a good idea as a preventative measure, and you should always practice good drain hygiene even when everything is flowing well. This includes using strainers, throwing food scraps in the trash and being mindful of what is flushed down toilets.

Hot Water Heaters
A dysfunctional water heater is not only annoying, but it can be dangerous. Have your water heater inspected and tuned up annually and allow that same company to make repairs if necessary. The technicians will already be familiar with your unit, making the process quicker and easier.

We Can Do All Three
We pride ourselves on our ability to be a one-stop shop for all your wastewater needs. We also do our best to simplify things for business owners so they can focus on their bottom line. We can keep track of service dates, so you don’t have to remember anything, and we offer a customer portal so you can organize all your service documents online.  If you’d like to get your business started on a healthy maintenance program, Contact Us or Request Service Now.

Your grease trap has the important job of preventing fats, oils, and grease (FOG) from clogging up your drain lines and septic system. When the trap malfunctions, the result is messy backups and foul odors. It’s important to keep up with the maintenance of your trap to avoid FOG issues and to stay compliant with health regulations.

An excellent way to keep foreign objects out of your grease trap is by putting strainers in your sink. Strainers are inexpensive, simple to use, and they are great at stopping food or other solid materials from flowing down the drain and into your trap. However, even with strainers, you need a professional to completely clean out your grease trap. Kaiser-Battistone employs a thorough 14-point inspection process that includes completely removing and cleaning baffles and draining out the dirty water. Watch out for companies that merely skim the grease off the top and do nothing to ensure the rest of the trap is equipped to perform well. Contact Us if you’d like for our guys to evaluate your wastewater use and design a customized grease trap maintenance plan to maximize the productivity of your kitchen.

A local convenience store called and requested help with a clog in the trough drain in front of their walk-in cooler. They asked us to come and snake the line because the drain was holding water. We brought along our snake, but also came prepared with other equipment in case the problem wasn’t in the drain line. Sure enough, we found a different scenario.

After arriving at the site and examining the trough, we discovered the clog was not in the drain line but in the trough baskets. Large amounts of debris had been collecting from months of sweeping and mopping the floors. Luckily, it was a simple fix to clean out the baskets and get the drains working properly again.

Signs of plumbing and septic issues may look similar for several different types of problems. Regular maintenance of drains can help prevent unnecessary backups.

Instead of wasting time and money on unnecessary solutions, rely on our professionals to accurately diagnose and solve your wastewater difficulties.

One of our local restaurant customers in Darien, CT called with an urgent request because their 3-bay sink was backing up. We were familiar with their facilities because we already service their grease trap on a quarterly basis as required by the Board of Health. However, the restaurant had experienced an uptick in business and was using the sinks a lot more. This was causing extra grease to creep into the drain lines and cause obstructions. It was a simple fix for our guys who jetted the lines and got the sinks draining and water flowing again, pronto!

The owner realized this setback was a great inconvenience to his kitchen staff, and it was ultimately affecting service to the customers. To prevent this from happening in the future, he switched his quarterly grease trap service to monthly and scheduled regular jetting service as well.

Even if you’re enrolled in grease service that abides by health laws, it doesn’t necessarily mean you are getting the correct service for your particular business. The laws are designed to be a general guide, but don’t take all factors of every organization into account. It’s best to have one of our Kaiser-Battistone professionals evaluate your water use and determine the ideal frequency for your maintenance appointments. Contact Us, and we’ll be happy to design a custom plan for you.

Cooks and kitchen staff work hard to create delicious menu items for customers, yet much of their masterpieces end up in the trash. It seems quite wasteful, doesn’t it? Well, we have a solution. Did you know we can actually turn this restaurant waste into a useful product? That’s right, the junk produced in kitchens can actually be transformed into a renewable energy source.
Say What?
This is possible because of an innovative machine called an anaerobic digester. Without getting too technical, a digester works much like your stomach. Manure, food waste and other organic materials are placed into this airtight vessel where anaerobic digestion takes place. As the materials decompose, methane and other gases are produced. This combination of gases, known as biogas is then burned to generate energy.
Isn’t That Amazing?!
You bet, but that’s not all! Digesters also help the planet by reducing the amount of methane gas and other greenhouse gases that escape into the atmosphere. Methane gas is 21 times more detrimental to the environment than carbon dioxide and is a major contributor to global warming. Capturing these potent gases also reduces odors which makes for much more enjoyable surroundings. However, the ultimate benefit is that digesters create lots and lots of clean energy.
We Don’t Let Waste Go To Waste
Our company works hard to maintain a reputation for caring about our planet. This is why we invest in the latest and greatest means of waste disposal. Our investment into the anaerobic digester proves how much we care about Earth. We also have a team of talented engineers and technicians working to incorporate new and effective ways to clean and recycle waste materials. We want the planet to be safe for generations to come.
