Storm Drain Cleaning
Standing water in a parking lot after a storm is usually a drainage problem, not just heavy rain. We clear debris and sediment from storm drain lines so runoff moves off your property the way it's supposed to.
Commercial Drain Cleaning in Costa Mesa
Grease traps, storm systems, backflow devices, and everything else that keeps a business's plumbing compliant and running.
For Your Business
Downtime Isn't an Option
A clogged drain at home is an inconvenience. A clogged drain at a restaurant near South Coast Plaza during lunch service, or a backed-up line at a retail space on 17th Street on a Saturday, is lost revenue and an unhappy health inspector. Commercial drain work carries a different set of stakes, and we schedule and staff jobs accordingly — around your hours, not ours.
We also handle the compliance side that residential work doesn't touch: grease trap logs for health inspections, backflow testing paperwork your city requires, and storm drainage upkeep tied to municipal stormwater rules. Below is the full range of commercial drain work we handle across Costa Mesa. Looking for the short version instead? Visit our home page for an overview of everything we do.
Commercial Services
Catch Basin Cleaning
Catch basins are designed to trap debris before it reaches the storm system, which means they fill up and need attention on a schedule. We pump out accumulated sediment from catch basins to keep them doing their job.
Grease Trap Cleaning
A grease trap that's overdue for service is one of the fastest ways to fail a health inspection. We pump and clean grease traps on a schedule that keeps you compliant, with documentation ready when the inspector asks.
Septic Line Cleaning
Properties on a septic system have a different failure mode than a municipal sewer connection — solids, grease, and roots build up differently in the lines feeding the tank. We clear septic line obstructions before they turn into a backed-up system.
Trenchless Sewer Line Cleaning
Digging up a parking lot or landscaped entrance to reach a damaged sewer line isn't always necessary. Our trenchless methods restore the line from existing access points, keeping your property open for business.
Backflow Prevention and Cleaning
Backflow devices protect your water supply from contamination, but most jurisdictions require them tested and serviced annually to stay code-compliant. We test, clean, and maintain backflow prevention devices and handle the paperwork.
Flooded Yard Cleaning
Standing water across a commercial yard or landscaped area almost always traces back to one blocked point — a French drain, an area drain, a damaged irrigation line. We find the source of the standing water and clear it instead of guessing.
Grease Interceptor Cleaning
Larger commercial kitchens run grease interceptors instead of a standard trap, and they need a bigger service commitment to match. We handle full pump-outs and cleaning for high-volume grease interceptors on whatever schedule your kitchen actually needs.
Sand Trap Cleaning
Car washes and auto shops push a lot of grit and sediment into their plumbing, and a sand trap is only useful if it's actually emptied. We clean out sand traps before they stop protecting the rest of your drainage system.
Jet-Vacuuming Storm Systems
Large storm drainage networks across bigger commercial and industrial sites need more than a standard jetting visit. We combine high-pressure jetting with vacuum extraction to clear extensive storm systems in one pass.

Common Questions
Commercial Drain Cleaning FAQs
Can you work outside our regular business hours?
Yes. Drain work during a restaurant's dinner rush or a retail store's open hours isn't practical, so we regularly schedule commercial jobs early morning, late evening, or overnight to avoid interrupting your operation.
Do you provide documentation for health or compliance inspections?
Yes. Grease trap and interceptor service comes with documentation you can hand directly to a health inspector, and backflow testing is reported the way your jurisdiction requires it.
Can you set up a recurring maintenance schedule?
Yes. Grease traps, catch basins, and storm systems all perform better on a schedule than a reactive one. We'll set a cadence based on how your property actually operates, not a generic interval.
Do you work with property managers on multi-tenant buildings?
Regularly. We can coordinate directly with a property manager or facilities contact, work around multiple tenants' schedules, and invoice however your building's process requires.
