Grease-related drain and plumbing work
Commercial Grease Trap Service in St. Petersburg, FL
Grease-related drain problems can slow a commercial kitchen, affect floor drains, disrupt sanitation, and create a bigger sewer issue if the connected line is not addressed. Hafke Plumbing provides commercial drain cleaning, grease-trap-related plumbing service, sewer jet cleaning, and camera diagnostics for St. Petersburg and Tampa Bay properties. The service scope begins with the equipment, affected drain line, access, operating impact, and the condition found at the site.
For active leaks, backups, or water that will not stop, calling is the fastest option.
“I got multiple estimates and chose Hafke, they sent a guy out who really went above and beyond for a free estimate and didn't get pushy to sell me on anything.”

Identify the affected fixtures, cleanout access, business hours, prior service, and the responsible on-site contact.

Know when to call
When to call about grease-related drain trouble
A food-service drain issue should be addressed before it becomes a backup, sanitation concern, or interruption to normal operations.
Kitchen drains are slow
Sinks, floor drains, or connected fixtures lose flow during normal kitchen operations.
The same backup returns
A recurring restriction can indicate buildup farther along the line or a condition that needs camera inspection.
Floor drains rise or overflow
Water or wastewater reaches a floor drain, kitchen area, or another low fixture and creates a sanitation concern.
Operations are being affected
The drain issue changes kitchen use, cleaning, service hours, or safe access for staff and customers.
Seeing one or more of these signs?
A call can help identify whether the problem needs prompt service or a closer inspection.
Keep the kitchen operating safely
The right drain response depends on the whole connected line
A slow kitchen sink, a backed-up floor drain, and a repeated line stoppage may look similar at first but can require different work. Hafke reviews the property, affected fixtures, access, and available diagnostics before selecting drain cleaning, jetting, camera inspection, or repair planning.
The property contact should also share scheduling windows, sanitation requirements, cleanout access, and whether the issue affects customers, tenants, or food-service operations.
What the inspection considers
- Affected fixtures and drain line
- Grease-related buildup and prior service
- Cleanout access and camera findings
- Operating and sanitation impact
