Commercial Drain Cleaning Edmonton
Professional Drain Cleaning for Restaurants, Offices, Apartments & Commercial Properties
A blocked commercial drain can interrupt business operations, create unpleasant smells, damage property, and inconvenience customers, employees, or tenants. Commercial drainage systems often handle heavier daily use than residential drains, which means grease, food waste, soap, sediment, and other buildup can develop quickly.
At Family Wise Plumbing, we provide professional Commercial Drain Cleaning Edmonton services for restaurants, offices, retail stores, apartment buildings, warehouses, clinics, schools, and other commercial properties.
Our team helps clear slow drains, recurring blockages, commercial floor drains, kitchen drains, main drainage lines, and sewer-related problems.
We proudly serve Edmonton, Sherwood Park, St. Albert, Leduc, Spruce Grove, Stony Plain, Beaumont, and Fort Saskatchewan.

What Is Commercial Drain Cleaning?
Commercial drain cleaning is the professional removal of grease, food waste, hair, soap residue, sediment, sludge, paper products, and other materials blocking a business drainage system.
Commercial drains usually experience more frequent use than household drains. A small amount of buildup can gradually restrict water flow and eventually cause a complete backup.
Commercial drain cleaning may be needed for:
- Restaurants and commercial kitchens
- Office buildings
- Retail stores
- Apartment and condominium buildings
- Warehouses
- Industrial properties
- Medical and dental clinics
- Schools and childcare facilities
- Hotels and hospitality businesses
- Salons and personal care businesses
- Property management facilities
- Community and recreation centres
Professional cleaning helps restore proper flow and reduces the risk of repeated drainage problems.
Common Signs You Need Commercial Drain Cleaning
You may need commercial drain cleaning if:
- Commercial sinks are draining slowly
- Floor drains are holding standing water
- Several drains are backing up
- Strong drain or sewer smells are present
- Drains make bubbling or gurgling sounds
- Grease returns through a kitchen drain
- Washroom drains clog repeatedly
- Water backs up into another plumbing fixture
- Temporary drain clearing does not solve the problem
- Tenants or employees report frequent drainage issues
- A restaurant kitchen drain cannot handle normal use
- Water appears around a commercial floor drain
When several fixtures are affected at the same time, the blockage may be located in the main drain or commercial sewer line.

Our Simple Process
1
You Call About the Drain Problem
Call (780) 257-2846 and explain which commercial drains are slow, blocked, overflowing, or producing unpleasant smells.
2
We Review the Drainage System
Our plumber checks the affected fixtures, drainage symptoms, property layout, drain access, and whether one or several drains are involved.
3
We Locate the Blockage
We determine whether the obstruction is inside a fixture drain, branch line, floor drain, main drain, or sewer line. A camera inspection may be recommended when the cause is unclear.
4
We Clean the Drain
Professional drain-cleaning equipment is used to break through and remove grease, food waste, sludge, sediment, hair, soap residue, and other obstructions.
5
We Test the Drainage
After cleaning, we test the affected drains to confirm that water is flowing properly and check for signs of additional drainage problems.
Commercial Drain Cleaning vs Hydro Jetting
Commercial drain cleaning is commonly used to open a blocked drain and remove an obstruction. Hydro jetting provides a more intensive cleaning by using high-pressure water to remove buildup from the inside walls of the pipe.
Commercial drain cleaning may be suitable when:
- One drain is blocked
- A solid obstruction is stopping water flow
- A floor drain needs clearing
- A commercial sink is draining slowly
- Hair, food, or debris is causing the clog
Hydro jetting may be suitable when:
- Grease repeatedly blocks the line
- Thick residue is attached to the pipe walls
- Several commercial drains are slow
- A restaurant drain needs deeper cleaning
- Standard drain clearing provides only temporary relief
- Long drainage lines contain heavy buildup
Commercial drain cleaning is normally used to clear a blockage and restore water flow. Hydro jetting may be recommended when grease, sludge, scale, or heavy residue needs to be removed from the full interior of the drain line.
Why Commercial Drain Cleaning Matters
Ignoring a slow or blocked commercial drain can lead to a complete backup, property damage, health concerns, customer complaints, and interruption to normal business operations.
Commercial drain cleaning can help:
- Restore proper drainage
- Reduce recurring blockages
- Control unpleasant drain smells
- Remove grease and organic buildup
- Lower the risk of wastewater backups
- Protect floors, walls, and commercial equipment
- Reduce inconvenience for customers and employees
- Maintain reliable plumbing in multi-unit properties
- Identify developing pipe problems
- Reduce emergency drainage interruptions
Restaurants, commercial kitchens, apartment buildings, and other high-use properties may benefit from preventive drain cleaning before a serious backup occurs.

Trusted by Edmonton families
Posted on Google shahzad razaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mike went above and beyond when my sump pump stopped working during the heavy rains we've been getting in Edmonton. He walked me through how to safely test it over the phone late at night, gave me a practical tip to keep the water away from the walls until morning, and even tracked down a replacement pump during a city-wide shortage. First thing in the morning he was at my door and had it sorted. This is the kind of tradesperson you want on speed dial, honest, calm under pressure, and genuinely helpful even before the job starts. Highly recommend.Posted on Google Keba MillsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mike at Family Wise Plumbing in short was great. I had an urgent need and he showed up promptly and resolved the issue. He even took the time to walk me through some know how in terms of plumbing. I will be keeping his info for future needs and would recommend to anyone who asks. Price was also great. Thank you Mike.Posted on Google pall98Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mike was great, super nice guy, came on short notice and was very knowledgeable and honest. Definitely happy we gave him a call and would 100% recommend to anyone.Posted on Google Judy HuckTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Family Wise Plumbing and Drain Cleaning repaired a leak on the outside water tap and a leak in the cold water line in the basement. Mike was friendly, professional and gave us the best price possible. The repair was done promptly and efficently. Mike even helped set up and install a water timer I had purchased. The cost was very reasonable compared to quotes from other companies. We would definitely recommend Mike for your future plumbing and drain issues.Posted on Google ed jTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Highly recommended.Posted on Google Raj BrarTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Family Wise Plumbing was courteous and quick to respond to my call. Came out and assessed the issue and fixed the clog. I highly recommend Family Wise Plumbing to anyone looking for plumbing repairs.Posted on Google Stuart HelfrichTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a fantastic experience with Mike from Family Wise Plumbing, and would highly recommend him for any of your plumbing needs. My sewer mainline was backed up, and after I had no success trying to auger it myself I called Mike for help. He was super friendly while asking questions regarding my issue and very accommodating with scheduling an appointment. Mike showed up on time and got right to work; but not before taking a quick look at the work area, helping me clear out some items obstructing access, assisting with cleaning up some water that had flooded the washroom, and even giving my girlfriend a hand sweeping snow off her vehicle. Mike went to town augering the sewer line, all while explaining to me the possible causes for a back-up and potential ways to remediate any issues. He answered all the questions I had and even offered advice for solving any possible plumbing snags with things he spotted in the basement that weren't even related to the task at hand. Mike was always updating me when/why he would switch auger heads, and when he felt he had dislodged the potential blockage. He was very respectful of me, my home, and my pets while he worked; taking care to prevent any damage and clean up as he worked. Mike got my sewer line flowing again, and after making sure it was functioning properly he charged me exactly what was quoted. No silly fees or attempts to upsell me at all. If you require a friendly, diligent, and honest plumber look no further and give Family Wise a call. I am extremely happy with the service provided, and I am confident you will be too. Thank you so much for everything Mike! (If anybody asks please tell them I at least loosened the blockage for you with my failed attempt.)Posted on Google Drey PTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I found Mike on kijiji and I couldn't be more happy. He has to be one of the most genuine and friendly guys i have ever met. My cats loved him and probably held up the job getting in the way. When it came to the job he was extremely knowledgeable and skillful in everything he did. Our house was build in the late 60s and some of the plumbing is not the best but he fixed all the issues the came up. I now have a plumber that I will call for anything and everything. He is not like the huge plumbing outfits and you will not regret using him for any job.Posted on Google Melissa SteinkeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Early January I had a leak in my water line from my humidifier and this happened at 11:30 at night when I noticed . Not fun. I don’t have a regular plumbing place either. I haven’t found one reliable or reasonable or where they don’t try to sell me a membership I don’t want. I tried calling a few companies at midnight but had to leave messages or was told they weren’t sure when someone would come so I decided to watch it all night with a bucket under and call first thing in morning to someone for help at 7 am when places opened. One place said they could come the next day. It couldn’t wait that long. I found out later I was talking to an AI voice and not a human at another place. When you have a water leak and have no idea about plumbing that could cause major damage and insurance might have to get involved you need someone urgent not the next day ! Finally I saw Family Wise online and I called but had to leave a message. This was after calling 3 others. To my surprise the owner Mike called back right away and said he could come at 11:30. He found where the leak was and fixed it and his charge was very reasonable compared to others . He even looked at my one toilet and fixed my faucets in another bathroom . He went over and above for the price he charged with no upfront cost just to come out like others do. He was very polite and friendly. I would definitely recommend him.

FAQs About Commercial Drain Cleaning in Edmonton
What causes commercial drains to become blocked?
Commercial drains may become blocked by grease, food waste, hair, soap residue, paper products, wipes, sediment, sludge, and mineral buildup. Damaged pipes, tree roots, poor drainage slope, and heavy daily use can also cause recurring problems.

Why do my commercial drains keep clogging?
Recurring blockages may be caused by heavy grease buildup, incorrect materials entering the drain, damaged pipes, tree roots, poor pipe slope, or an obstruction deeper in the main drainage system. A drain camera inspection can help locate the cause.
Should commercial drains be cleaned regularly?
Preventive drain cleaning can be helpful for restaurants, apartment buildings, commercial kitchens, and properties with high drain usage. Cleaning frequency depends on the business type, drainage condition, and history of blockages.

Stop using the affected plumbing fixtures and call a plumber. Several drains backing up at the same time may indicate a blockage in the main drain or sewer line.
