Drains & Sewer
Commercial Drain Cleaning in Miami
Zaldak Maintenance clears and maintains commercial drains across Miami-Dade and South Broward, using cable machines, hydro-jetting and sewer camera inspection to find and fix the cause of a blockage, with scheduled drain programs for restaurants, condos and multifamily buildings and 24/7 response to backups.
A clogged drain in a commercial building is never one drain
In a house, a slow sink is an inconvenience. In a restaurant it can close the kitchen mid-service, and in a condo tower a blocked stack can push wastewater into the lowest units on the line. Commercial drains carry grease, food solids, wipes and scale every day, and older cast-iron lines common in Miami-Dade buildings corrode and catch debris along the way.
Clearing the symptom is only part of the job. We find out why the line blocked, whether that's grease build-up, a root intrusion, a belly in the pipe or a collapsed section, and tell you what it will take to stop it coming back.
Methods we use
- Cable and auger machines for fixture lines, floor drains and branch lines
- Hydro-jetting to scour grease, scale and sludge from the full pipe wall
- Sewer camera inspection with recorded video and location of defects
- Sewer line repair and section replacement where the camera shows damage
- Floor drain, trench drain and area drain cleaning
- Stack and riser cleaning in multi-storey buildings
Hydro-jetting versus snaking
A cable machine punches a hole through a blockage and gets water moving again, which is the right first step in an emergency. Hydro-jetting uses high-pressure water to clean the pipe wall itself, removing the grease and scale that caused the blockage. For restaurant lines and buildings with repeat backups, jetting on a schedule usually costs less over a year than repeated emergency snaking. A camera inspection before or after tells you which approach the line needs and whether there's structural damage.
Scheduled drain programs
Restaurants, condo associations and apartment communities get the most from scheduled drain maintenance. We set a frequency per line, based on usage and history: monthly or quarterly jetting for kitchen lines, periodic stack cleaning for towers, and camera checks on lines that keep giving trouble. Each visit is documented with photos or video so boards and managers can see the condition of the system over time.
Backups and after-hours calls
A sewage backup or overflowing floor drain is an emergency. Our dispatch runs 24/7 with a typical response of about two hours across Miami-Dade and South Broward, from Miami Beach to Hollywood and Fort Lauderdale. We clear the line, document the damage for your insurer, and quote any permanent repair before starting it.

FAQ
Questions we get asked
What is hydro-jetting and when is it needed?
Hydro-jetting cleans a drain with high-pressure water that scours grease, scale and debris off the pipe wall. It's the right choice for restaurant lines, recurring blockages and heavy build-up, where a cable machine would only open a small channel through the clog.
How often should commercial kitchen drains be cleaned?
Busy restaurant kitchen lines typically need professional cleaning every one to three months, depending on volume and how well the grease trap is maintained. A camera inspection and the line's history are the best guide to the right interval.
Is a sewer camera inspection worth it?
Yes, when a line blocks repeatedly or you suspect damage. A camera shows the actual cause, such as roots, a belly, a crack or collapsed pipe, so you repair the right section instead of clearing the same clog again.
How much does commercial drain cleaning cost in Miami?
Cost depends on the line size, access, the method needed and whether it's a scheduled or emergency visit. We quote before work starts, and scheduled drain programs are priced as part of a maintenance plan.
Can a clogged drain be an emergency?
Yes. Sewage backing up, floor drains overflowing or a main line blocked in an occupied building are emergencies, and we dispatch 24/7 for them.
