In a commercial establishment, the usual cause of floor drain clogging is mop water that contains a significant amount of impurities and contaminants. With the frequent mopping of floors in commercial kitchens and warehouses, solids and slush, and even grease can build up over time, and sooner or later these materials can cause the floor drain to clog. Floors on manufacturing establishments can also see an accumulation of packing materials and scraps that will eventually end up collecting down the floor drains. Because of this, it’s very important that regular floor drain cleaning and maintenance be done to keep the floor drains in good working condition. SewerMan has highly trained technicians and plumbers that can advise the right cleaning schedule for your business.
A clogged floor drain in a commercial establishment is not only inconvenient; it can also cost the business a lot of money in terms of displeased clients or customers, loss of revenue and lower productivity. If the drains in your commercial establishment are clogged, it is in your best interest to act on the situation quickly and have the drains unclogged. For best results have your floor drain cleaning performed by professional plumbers like the people at SewerMan, in order to have your floor drains flowing again. The following are the various methods we use to detect and unclog commercial drains.

Sewer Camera Inspection
A digital video is used to spot the location of the clog in the drain. This high tech digital video can save precious time in discovering what is causing the problem; this avoids any guessing games when it comes to identifying the location and the nature of the clog. It also precludes digging that will not only destroy existing facilities but that can also cause a lot of inconvenience to both employees of the establishment, its customers and even the passing public, if the digging is done on the street.
This process involves the introduction of a digital camera which travels inside the floor drain all the way to the pipes. This camera is connected to a computer that records its progress and whatever data is discovered. The recording is the basis of our technician’s decision on what drain cleaning or drain de-clogging technique should be used.
Hydrostatc Testing
Hydrosatic testing or pressure testing is a procedure that involves the introduction of high-pressured water powered by an air compressor. This is intended to clean open spaces as well as enclosed areas that are difficult to access. This is the only confirmed process of floor drain cleaning or unclogging floor drains blocked by sludge, silts and other solid materials. The jetted water flushes out the dirt in one action and keeps the floor drain clean. It also keeps the surface totally clean. Hydro jetting or water jetting also removes harmful chemical waste.
Alamo Plumbing Solutions of San Antonio uses these techniques plus several others in commercial floor drain cleaning. Our trained technicians and plumbers can recommend the right solution for your business.

Sewer Repair
One of the main causes of sewer breakdown is flushing things down the toilet that should not be flushed. In a common household that could be a number of things. But it isn’t the only thing that causes clogs. (1) Blockage in the ground like tree roots often breaks sewer lines and causes backups. (2) The buildup of grease inside the pipes will cause issues with drainage and require the help of a plumber.
