Commercial Drain Cleaning
Commercial drains cleaned right, the first time.
Restaurants, shops, office buildings, and multi-tenant properties across the Front Range trust Wes to keep their drains flowing and their business running.
What commercial really means
A backed-up drain in a commercial building is a different problem.
A slow drain at home is an inconvenience. A backed-up drain in a restaurant kitchen during the dinner rush, a floor drain flooding a retail stockroom, or a grease line failing the morning before a health inspection is money, reputation, and sometimes a shutdown. The stakes are higher, the pipe sizes are bigger, the volume of use is relentless, and the consequences of waiting hit a lot faster.
Wes handles commercial drain cleaning across the Littleton and Denver metro area: restaurants and commercial kitchens, office buildings, retail spaces, multi-tenant properties, and light industrial. He brings the right equipment, knows how commercial pipe systems are built differently from residential, and holds both a master plumber license and a plumbing contractor license so he can deal with whatever the job turns up, not just the drain itself.
Hydro jetting
The right tool for commercial volume.
A drain snake punches a hole through a clog. In a light residential situation that is sometimes enough. In a commercial kitchen grease line carrying a year of fat, oil, and food solids, a snake just opens a temporary channel that closes back up in weeks. Hydro jetting scours the pipe wall back to clean using high-pressure water, so the buildup that was slowing your drains is actually gone, not just temporarily displaced.
Wes jets commercial floor drains, kitchen sink lines, grease lines, and main building drains. The equipment scales to the pipe diameter and the severity of the buildup. After jetting, the line flows the way it is supposed to, and he can camera it to confirm before he leaves.

Grease trap service
Stay compliant, stay open.
Every commercial kitchen with cooking equipment is required to have a functioning grease trap, and most municipalities require it to be cleaned on a regular schedule. A grease trap that fills up stops doing its job, grease gets into the municipal sewer, and the fines and shutdown notices follow. Wes cleans grease traps and can set you up on a scheduled service so you never have to think about it until the reminder shows up.
If your grease trap is undersized for your current cooking volume, or if an inspection flagged a problem, he can assess and advise. As a licensed GC, he can also handle the replacement or upgrade if that is where the job goes, without handing you off to a different contractor mid-project.

Camera inspection
See what is actually happening before spending on it.
A lot of commercial drain problems look the same from the surface: slow drainage, recurring backups, bad odors. The causes are very different. Grease buildup clears differently than root intrusion. A belly in the line does not clear at all until it is repaired. A cracked pipe at a joint underneath a concrete slab requires a different repair plan than a scale buildup in a cast iron stack.
Wes runs a camera down the line before quoting any significant commercial drain repair. You see the footage, you understand what the problem is, and you can make an informed decision. That is how you avoid paying for work that does not address the actual cause, and it is how Wes avoids guessing and getting it wrong.

Why master plumber + GC license matters
Most drain services stop at the drain.
A lot of commercial drain cleaning companies are good at running a jet or a snake. When the problem turns out to be a cracked sewer line under a slab, a corroded cast iron stack in the wall cavity, or a backflow preventer that failed, they give you a referral and you start over with someone new who does not know your property.
Wes holds a master plumber license, which means he can legally perform any plumbing work in Colorado, including pulling permits for repairs that require them. He also holds a plumbing contractor license, which means he can handle the construction side of a plumbing repair, cutting concrete, opening walls, making structural repairs, and putting things back together. One contractor, one call, and the job gets finished. Talk to Wes about your commercial property.

Why commercial drains fail on a schedule.
Commercial drains do not fail randomly. They fail on a predictable schedule driven by usage volume, grease load, and how long since the last maintenance. A restaurant kitchen running lunch and dinner six days a week will accumulate grease buildup faster than the line can handle if nobody clears it. Office building floor drains sit unused long enough to dry out the trap, let sewer gas in, and develop scale buildup that a slow trickle of water cannot clear. Multi-tenant buildings stack usage from multiple units through shared lines that were often undersized when the building was constructed decades ago.
The difference between a managed maintenance schedule and an emergency call at 7 a.m. before service opens is usually just a recurring drain service that costs a fraction of an emergency visit and the lost revenue that comes with it. Wes can set up a schedule built around your operating hours and the specific demand profile of your facility. Get a maintenance program in place before the next backup.

Questions commercial clients ask us.
What commercial properties do you service?
Restaurants and commercial kitchens, office buildings, retail spaces, multi-tenant residential and mixed-use buildings, light industrial facilities, and any other commercial property in the Littleton and Denver metro area. If you have a commercial drain problem, call and we will tell you whether we are the right fit.
How often does a commercial kitchen grease line need to be cleaned?
It depends on your cooking volume and the types of cooking you do. High-volume frying operations may need quarterly or even monthly jetting. Lighter commercial kitchens may run six months to a year. We look at your operation and give you an honest schedule, not a one-size recommendation. Most health codes also set minimum inspection intervals for grease traps, which we track as part of maintenance scheduling.
What is the difference between hydro jetting and snaking for a commercial drain?
A snake punches through the obstruction and opens the line temporarily. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to scour the pipe wall, removing grease, scale, and biological buildup all the way to the pipe surface. For a commercial grease line that has been accumulating buildup for months or years, jetting is the correct tool. Snaking will restore flow for a few weeks at best.
Can you work around our business hours?
Yes. Commercial work often needs to happen before open or after close, and weekend or overnight scheduling is available when the job calls for it. We work around your operating schedule, not the other way around.
My drain backed up during service. Can you come out same day?
Call us at (303) 883-9075. We handle commercial emergencies and will tell you honestly whether we can get there and when. A drain backup during operating hours is a priority call.
Do you pull permits for commercial drain work?
Yes, when the work requires one. As a master plumber, Wes can pull plumbing permits in Colorado. If the drain repair involves cutting a slab, opening a wall, or replacing a section of sewer line, the permit question gets answered correctly before the work starts, not after an inspection fails.
Can you also handle the repair if the camera finds a broken line?
Yes. That is one of the main reasons having a master plumber with a GC license matters in commercial work. If the camera finds a cracked sewer line under a slab or in a wall cavity, Wes can handle the whole repair: the plumbing, the concrete or drywall access, and the restoration. No handoff to a second contractor.
