Contrary to popular belief, using a drain snake does not remove a clog entirely. Instead, the snake breaks up the center of the clog, effectively creating a hole in it to allow water to pass through. Because the clog is not fully removed, debris can easily build up on it again, resulting in another clog down the line.

Reasons You Need Commercial Drain Cleaning – Ronkonkoma, NY
You will find many different root causes that lead to clogs, but at the end of the day, it almost always comes down to someone putting something down the drain pipes that should have gone into the trash. The most common causes of clogged drains in Ronkonkoma are foreign objects and grease.
Foreign Objects
Commercial properties cater to either customers, employees, or both. At the very least, all commercial properties have public washrooms. These washroom facilities tend to get much more use than household ones, and frequent use means that a foreign object could lead to a tough clog in just a few hours.
Despite heavy signage asking women to dispose of feminine hygiene products in the provided bins, there is almost always someone who forgets. Using paper towels and "flushable" wipes in place of toilet paper can also lead to nasty toilet clogs. Even the overuse of toilet paper can damage plumbing systems unless you have powerful, efficient cyclone or tornado flush systems.
Commercial kitchens in Ronkonkoma can also develop sink clogs if large pieces of food debris are allowed to go down the drain. Not only will this create a blockage, but it may also begin to smell and attract drain flies. This is likely not the impression you want to make on paying clients.
Grease Clogs
Some restaurant owners are surprised to learn that grease clogs don't just result from pouring butter, oil, and bacon fat down the sink. Or, you may have learned that following grease down the drain with lots of hot water is a safe way to dispose of grease. In reality, grease clogs can develop from things like eggshells, coffee grounds, rice, soap, and detergents. Rinsing these things down once or twice won't cause a problem unless it's done repeatedly; grease will build up in the pipe over time. If you own an older commercial food services property, you may be long overdue for a grease clog.
The reason that rinsing grease down a pipe using warm water doesn't work is that the water doesn't stay warm. As it travels down the pipe, it becomes cool, causing the grease to solidify and float on top of the water. Eventually, solidified fat accumulates to the point that water is unable to pass through.
