24 Hour Emergency Restaurant Plumbing
A slow drain in a dining room is an inconvenience. A slow drain in a working kitchen is a health inspection waiting to happen. AAA AUGER has been keeping Texas restaurants open and running since 1960 — grease trap cleanouts, floor drain backups, dish pit lines, and the emergencies that can’t wait until Monday. One call gets you a licensed tech, an upfront price, and a fix before your next shift.
It’s never a slow Tuesday when it happens. It’s Friday at 6 p.m., the grease trap backs up into the dish pit, and you’ve got a full dining room and no working sink. Or it’s the morning of a health inspection and the floor drain by the fryer station won’t stop gurgling. Restaurant plumbing problems don’t just cost a repair bill — they cost covers, staff hours, and sometimes your grade on an inspection report. We know that, which is why we treat speed and discretion as part of the job, not an upcharge.
From a slow floor drain to a full grease interceptor install, here’s what we cover in commercial kitchens.
Most restaurant plumbing emergencies trace back to one thing: a grease trap that wasn’t cleaned on schedule. We handle grease trap and interceptor cleaning, pumping, and installation for kitchens across DFW and San Antonio, and we keep records you can hand to a health inspector without scrambling. If it’s been a while since your last cleanout, or you’re not sure what your local code requires, that’s a five-minute phone call, not a project.
Letting someone into a working kitchen isn’t the same as letting them into a house. You need a plumber who won’t slow down service, won’t leave a mess by the walk-in, and won’t hand you a bill that’s different from what they quoted. AAA AUGER has been a family-owned, licensed plumbing company since 1960. We show up on time, we quote the job before we start it, and there’s no extra charge for calling us on a Saturday night instead of a Tuesday afternoon.
A backed-up line during Saturday dinner service costs more than a repair bill — it costs covers, reviews, and a night your staff won’t forget. Our techs carry the equipment to jet a line, clear a floor drain, or pull a grease trap on the first visit, so your kitchen is back open the same day in almost every case.

Most commercial kitchens need their grease trap or interceptor cleaned every 1–3 months, depending on volume and local code. High-volume kitchens, fryers, and full-service restaurants usually need it more often than a small café. We can look at your setup and set a schedule so it's never a guessing game — and never a surprise on an inspection day.
Yes. Every AAA AUGER plumber is fully licensed and insured, and our techs are trained on commercial kitchen equipment, not just residential fixtures. When someone shows up at your restaurant, you're getting a qualified professional, not a subcontractor we've never met.
It depends on the job — a floor drain clear-out and a grease trap replacement aren't priced the same. What doesn't change is how we handle it: we diagnose the issue, quote it before we start, and that's the number on your invoice. No overtime charge for nights, weekends, or holidays.
Yes, and it's one of our most common calls. We'll clean the trap, check your floor drains and backflow devices, and flag anything that's likely to get written up — so you're walking into the inspection ahead of it instead of reacting to it.
Yes. A lot of restaurant plumbing "emergencies" are really just deferred maintenance. We set up recurring grease trap cleaning and drain maintenance around your schedule, so problems get caught in a slow Tuesday visit instead of a packed Friday night.
Absolutely — and there's no extra charge for it. We're available 7 days a week, 365 days a year, including nights, weekends, and holidays, at the same price as a weekday visit.
Need fast, reliable restaurant plumbing? Whether it’s a grease trap that’s overdue, a floor drain that’s backing up, or an emergency that can’t wait, reach out and we’ll get your kitchen sorted out — properly and without any hidden fees.
No Extra Charge for Nights, Weekends, or Holidays.
