There are several factors that can contribute to sewer clogs in commercial applications. Some of the most common causes include:

  1. Fats, oils, and grease: These substances can solidify and build up in the pipes over time, creating blockages and clogs. These are often by the the Restaurant or Coffee Vendor at a Commercial Property rinsing grease from plates and cookware down the sink or floor drains.
  2. Foreign objects: Items that are not meant to be flushed down the toilet, such as feminine hygiene products, baby wipes, and paper towels, can get stuck in the pipes and cause clogs.
  3. Tree roots: If there are trees or other plants near the sewer lines, their roots can grow into the pipes and cause blockages.
  4. Corrosion: Old or damaged pipes can corrode and become clogged with debris, leading to blockages.
  5. Scale and mineral deposits: Hard water can leave behind scale and mineral deposits in the pipes, which can build up and cause clogs.
  6. Age: Over time, pipes can become worn and damaged, leading to clogs and other issues.

To prevent sewer clogs in commercial applications, it is important to properly dispose of fats, oils, and grease, avoid flushing foreign objects down the toilet, and regularly maintain and replace old or damaged pipes. It is also a good idea to have the plumbing system inspected by a professional to identify and address any potential issues before they become major problems.
