Case Study: Red Lobster Restaurants

Problem: Red Lobster restaurants were experiencing high plumbing costs due to regular drain backups caused by food and debris present in the restaurant. A mechanical plumbing company was called to flush the lines on average once a month. Monthly plumbing costs where about $1,000.

The Drain-Net Solution: We recommended and installed a Trash Interceptor. This stainless steel strainer cabinet was installed in line below the dish sink to catch the majority of debris coming from the sink. Secondly, an SFL-10 Floor Sink Strainer was installed in the floor to catch any overflow debris which can accumulate on the floor The final safety guard against clogged drains was the installation of a 3” Drain-Net in the bottom drain of the floor sink. Estimated debris captured is over 50 lbs of material disposed in the trash versus the drainage system.
