Commercial & Industrial Drain Cleaning Backed by Full Waste Solutions

Mid South Septic, A Wind River Company, provides commercial and industrial drain cleaning across the greater Memphis metro and Mid-South region. We combine local crews who know Memphis-area systems with Jet Vac services, industrial waste bulk hauling, and the backing of a national non-hazardous liquid waste network.

Commercial and industrial drains see higher volumes, tougher waste streams, and stricter regulatory scrutiny than residential lines. We help facilities in Shelby, Fayette, and Tipton counties in TN, plus DeSoto County, MS and Crittenden County, AR, keep drains flowing and operations online with one accountable provider for drains, grease, septic, and industrial waste.

Call Mid South Septic anytime at (901) 446-4250 for 24/7 commercial and industrial drain cleaning or to schedule a preventative maintenance visit.

Commercial & Industrial Drain Cleaning Services We Provide

We handle drain cleaning for a wide range of commercial and industrial facilities in the Memphis area. Whether you manage a single restaurant or a multi-site industrial operation, our team can match the right equipment and crew to your system.

Commercial Drain Cleaning Services

Our commercial drain cleaning work covers the most common problem points that put kitchens, retail spaces, and public areas at risk of shutdowns.

• Floor drain cleaning. We clear floor drains in kitchens, warehouses, production areas, and restrooms to remove grease, sediment, and debris that cause slow drainage and odors.
• Grease line cleaning. We clean grease lines tied into your grease trap service, helping keep fats, oils, and grease from building up and backing into sinks, dishwashers, and prep areas.
• Main sewer line service. We address commercial sewer line backup issues from the building out to the municipal connection or septic system, using Jet Vac capability where heavy buildup is present.
• Storm drain & catch basin cleaning. We clean parking lot catch basins, exterior trench drains, and storm drains to help prevent flooding and ponding during heavy rain.
• Grease trap cleaning integration. When we handle both your grease trap cleaning and your grease line or floor drain work, you have a single team coordinating service around your kitchen’s workflow.

Industrial Drain & Sewer Line Services

Industrial facilities and municipal infrastructure demand heavier-duty equipment than standard cable machines can provide. Our industrial services are built around Jet Vac services and high-capacity hauling.

• Jet Vac services. We use high-pressure water jetting combined with powerful vacuum trucks to remove heavy solids, sludge, and scale from industrial drain lines and sewer mains.
• Industrial waste bulk hauling. We pump and haul non-hazardous liquid and semi-solid waste from sumps, process drains, and interceptors to approved disposal sites.
• Car wash pit cleaning. We clean car wash pits and associated drains to remove grit, sludge, and detergents before they impact downstream lines.
• Hydroexcavation services. We provide hydroexcavation for safe, precise digging around buried utilities and drain infrastructure.
• Sludge removal. We remove and transport sludge from tanks, pits, and clarifiers as part of larger drain and wastewater projects.
• Confined space entry work. Our teams are trained and equipped for confined space entry where required for industrial and municipal drain structures.

For municipalities and larger properties, we also provide vacuum truck services, catch basin cleaning, lift station services, and related wastewater solutions across the tri-state region.

Drain Cleaning for Key Industries in the Memphis Metro

Different facility types face different drain challenges. Our team understands how those needs show up in day-to-day operations, inspections, and long-term maintenance planning.

Restaurants & Commercial Kitchens

Food service operations generate high volumes of fats, oils, grease, and food solids that quickly impact drains and interceptors.

• Grease line and floor drain service. We clean kitchen floor drains, sink lines, and grease lines to keep prep, cooking, and dish areas online.
• Main line clearing tied to grease trap maintenance. Coordinating main sewer line cleaning with grease trap cleaning helps reduce unexpected backups during peak service.

Warehouses & Manufacturing Facilities

Industrial environments often deal with sediment, washdown water, process byproducts, and forklift traffic that all interact with floor and trench drains.

• Floor drain maintenance. We remove accumulated solids and compacted sediment from warehouse and production floor drains before they become blockages.
• Jet Vac services for heavy buildup. When standard methods are not enough, we use Jet Vac services to break up and remove heavier materials and residues.
• Industrial waste bulk hauling. We pump and haul non-hazardous process wastewater and other approved industrial liquids as part of your overall wastewater management plan.

Car Washes & Vehicle Facilities

Car wash and fleet facilities in the Mid-South see constant grit, soap, and debris entering their drains.

• Car wash pit cleaning. We clean pits, trenches, and associated drains to remove sludge and grit that restrict flow and can impact downstream lines.
• Storm drain and parking area drainage. We service catch basins and drains around bays and parking areas to help manage runoff and reduce standing water.

Municipal & Multi-Property Clients

We support municipalities and multi-property operators across the Memphis metro and tri-state area with scalable drain and wastewater services.

• Catch basin and storm drain cleaning. Regular cleaning of catch basins and storm drains around streets, parking lots, and loading docks helps manage stormwater and reduces blockages.
• Lift station and vacuum truck services. We provide lift station cleaning, vacuum truck support, and sludge removal as part of municipal wastewater work.
• Franchise and chain support. Through the Wind River Environmental network, we serve national commercial clients and franchise brands that need consistent drain and grease service across multiple sites.

Commercial & Industrial Drain Cleaning FAQ

What Is the Difference Between Commercial and Industrial Drain Cleaning?

Commercial drain cleaning typically covers restaurants, retail, offices, and similar facilities where the primary issues are grease, food solids, paper products, and everyday debris. Industrial drain cleaning usually involves manufacturing plants, processing facilities, municipalities, and infrastructure with heavier solids, process byproducts, and larger-diameter lines that often require Jet Vac services, hydro jetting, and confined space entry. Mid South Septic handles both commercial and industrial drain cleaning across the Memphis area.

How Often Should Commercial Drain Lines Be Cleaned?

Service frequency depends on your facility type, waste volume, and history of issues. High-grease operations such as restaurants and certain food processing facilities typically require more frequent drain cleaning than office buildings or low-use commercial spaces. We can review your operation and help set up a preventative maintenance program that aligns with your usage and risk tolerance.

Do You Provide Service Documentation for Compliance Records?

Yes. Our technicians document the work performed and provide post-service summaries with receipts, documents, and photos where applicable. Commercial customers can also use our Commercial Portal for centralized access to service history and documentation that supports internal recordkeeping and inspection preparation.

Do You Serve Facilities in Mississippi and Arkansas?

Yes. In addition to serving the Memphis metro in Tennessee, we provide commercial and industrial drain cleaning for facilities in DeSoto County, MS and Crittenden County, AR, as part of our broader Mid-South service area.
