BC Restaurant Leak Detection: Protecting Commercial Kitchens
Guide for BC restaurant owners on commercial kitchen leak detection, grease trap issues, and water damage prevention.
Restaurants face the highest water leak risks of any commercial type. Commercial kitchens operate with high water usage, high-temperature equipment, and complex plumbing. A leak can trigger health inspection shutdown and destroy inventory.
Kitchen equipment is the most common leak source. Ice machines, dishwashers, steam tables all have water connections that fail. Monthly visual inspection is standard practice. Annual professional detection recommended.
Grease traps need specialized inspection. A failing interceptor can leak FOG into the ground, creating environmental liability. Professional detection includes CCTV inspection and dye testing.
Floor drains in kitchens are prone to blockage. Food debris and grease accumulate in drain lines causing backups. Regular cleaning and annual CCTV inspection of kitchen drains is essential.
