Most restaurants should schedule drain jetting every 1–3 months.
The exact frequency depends on your kitchen’s volume, what you are cooking, and how well grease management practices are working. A high-volume kitchen frying heavily will build up drain grease faster than a sandwich shop.
The general rule: if you have had a drain backup during service, you waited too long. The goal is to stay ahead of the buildup on a schedule — predictable cost and zero emergency downtime — rather than reactively calling after a backup.
Common schedules we see: monthly for high-volume fry operations, quarterly for moderate-volume kitchens with good grease management, biannually for light-use commercial operations. We can help you establish the right frequency based on what the camera shows in your lines after each service.
