Blocked drains and grease traps can be a costly and frustrating problem, particularly for businesses in the hospitality and food service industries. Frequent blockages lead to expensive callouts, downtime in your kitchen, and unpleasant odours that can disrupt your work environment. If you’re constantly dealing with drainage issues, Drain Medic has the perfect solution for you.


At Drain Medic, we’re always looking for ways to help our customers improve their drainage systems while also reducing costs. Our latest innovation, Sink Screen Filters, In-Sink Straining Baskets, and Food Filters, is designed to significantly reduce blockages and maintenance expenses, keeping your kitchen or wash area running smoothly.


How Can Sink Screen Filters Help You Save Money?

Traditional drainage maintenance can be both time-consuming and expensive. Frequent blockages in sinks, grease traps, and commercial kitchen drainage systems can lead to costly repairs, operational disruptions, and hygiene concerns. Our Sink Screen Filters and Straining Baskets provide a simple yet highly effective solution by preventing food particles, grease, and debris from entering your drainage system in the first place.


These innovative filters capture waste at the source, preventing it from accumulating inside your pipes or grease traps. This dramatically reduces the frequency of blockages, meaning fewer callouts, less downtime, and lower maintenance costs.


The Benefits of Installing Sink Screen Filters and Straining Baskets

✅ Reduces or Eliminates Drain Blockages

Food particles and grease buildup are the most common causes of blocked drains. By using our filters, you can significantly reduce or even eliminate the number of blockages in your sinks and grease traps.


✅ Eliminates Bad Odours

When food waste accumulates in your drains and grease traps, it begins to decompose, creating foul smells that spread throughout your kitchen. By filtering out food at the source, our Sink Screen Filters help keep your drainage system clean and odour-free.


✅ Prevents Flies and Pest Problems

Standing food waste in grease traps can attract flies, rodents, and other pests. By capturing food waste before it reaches the grease trap, our system reduces pest issues, creating a cleaner, more hygienic environment for your kitchen staff and customers.


✅ Minimises Kitchen Downtime and Disruptions

Blocked sinks and drainage systems can bring your kitchen to a standstill, causing disruptions in your daily operations. By preventing blockages before they start, our filters help keep your kitchen running efficiently.


✅ Extends the Life of Your Plumbing and Grease Traps

Frequent blockages put strain on your plumbing system, leading to premature wear and costly repairs. Our Infra Filters and Straining Baskets help protect your plumbing and grease traps, extending their lifespan and reducing your long-term maintenance costs.


✅ Handles Large Volumes of Food Waste

Our Infra Filters are designed for high-traffic kitchens. Customers have reported capturing up to 500 grams of food waste in an 8-hour shift, preventing it from reaching the grease trap and reducing the need for frequent grease trap cleaning.
