Industrial Drain Cleaning

Industrial Drain Cleaning - Pelican Underground

A backed-up drain in your manufacturing facility isn’t just inconvenient—it’s a production shutdown waiting to happen. When process drains clog, grease traps overflow, or waste lines fail, every minute costs money. 

Pelican Underground specializes in industrial drain cleaning across Louisiana, delivering the heavy-duty solutions that keep facilities operational. From food processing plants to chemical refineries, we understand that your drainage system is critical infrastructure that demands specialized expertise, professional equipment, and rapid response.

Pelican Underground Llc staff prepares for sewer repair, safely working near an open manhole using the right tools and safety steps.

What Is Industrial Drain Cleaning?

Industrial drain cleaning encompasses the specialized techniques required to maintain high-capacity drainage systems in commercial and manufacturing environments. Unlike simple residential drain snaking, industrial drain maintenance requires:

  • Professional-Grade Equipment 
  • Hydro Jetting Technology 
  • Safety Protocols 

Effective industrial drainage maintenance is foundational to operational continuity, requiring specialized expertise in commercial underground infrastructure solutions that address complex facility challenges while ensuring regulatory compliance and minimizing downtime.

Our Industrial Drain Services

Emergency Drain Response

Drain emergencies don't wait for business hours. We provide 24/7 emergency response for critical situations—overflowing grease traps, backed-up process drains, or blocked waste lines that threaten operations. Our rapid mobilization minimizes downtime and gets your facility running again.

Hydro Jetting and Descaling

High-pressure hydro jetting is the gold standard for industrial pipe descaling and waste line cleaning. Water jets at 3,000-4,000 PSI cut through grease accumulation, mineral scale, and stubborn blockages while thoroughly cleaning pipe interiors. Unlike mechanical rodding that just punches holes through clogs, hydro jetting restores full pipe capacity.

Grease Trap and Lift Station Services

Commercial kitchens, food processing facilities, and manufacturing plants with grease-producing processes need regular grease trap cleaning. We pump, clean, and maintain grease interceptors to prevent overflows and ensure environmental compliance. Our lift station cleaning services keep wastewater pumping systems operational.

Video Inspection and Assessment

Drain camera inspection reveals what’s happening inside your pipes. Our high-definition cameras identify blockage locations, pipe damage, corrosion, and structural issues. This diagnostic approach prevents guesswork and ensures we apply the right solution. Post-cleaning inspection often reveals pipes needing structural liner rehabilitation to restore integrity after debris removal.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is industrial drain cleaning?

Industrial drain cleaning is the specialized maintenance and repair of high-capacity drainage systems in commercial and manufacturing facilities. 

The frequency depends on your facility type and usage. Food processing plants and commercial kitchens typically need monthly or quarterly service due to heavy grease loads. 

Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water (3,000-4,000 PSI) to thoroughly clean pipe interiors, blasting away grease, scale, debris, and blockages. Unlike mechanical snaking that just punches a hole through clogs, hydro jetting completely removes buildup and restores full pipe capacity. 

Often, yes. We work with facilities to schedule maintenance during low-production periods, breaks, or off-shifts. Many preventative maintenance tasks can happen while operations continue.

Costs vary based on drain size, contamination level, access difficulty, and service type. Basic preventative cleaning for standard drains might run $300-$800 per service. 

Keep Your Louisiana Facility Flowing

Industrial drainage problems don’t improve on their own. Every day of deferred maintenance increases the risk of costly emergency shutdowns, regulatory violations, and production disruptions.
