A Restaurant Line That Slows Every Summer
Lake kitchens cook their heaviest volume in summer. Grease that gets past the interceptor coats the pipe, and a cable only punches a hole through it.
OVERVIEW
Hydro Jetting Around Lake of the Ozarks
Hydro jetting is a drain cleaning method that drives water through a nozzle at high pressure to strip grease, sludge, and root debris off the inside wall of a pipe. At the lake, the line often ends at a septic tank, a grinder pump basin, or a grease interceptor, and what sits at the far end decides how we jet it, or whether we should.
Grease is the most common reason a lake business calls for jetting. Camden County counted 4,355 tourism jobs in fiscal 2025, according to the Missouri Division of Tourism, and many of them are in kitchens. Osage Beach Ordinance 20.33, from 2020, requires every restaurant, bar, and kitchen that serves the public to run a grease interceptor and pump it before fats, oils, grease, and solids reach 25 percent of its liquid depth.
We at Clog Busters run our Lake of the Ozarks branch from 372 Hwy D in Kaiser and serve residential, commercial, and municipal clients across Camden, Miller, and Morgan counties, including Lake Ozark, Osage Beach, Camdenton, Eldon, Laurie, Linn Creek, Sunrise Beach, and Village of Four Seasons. For our other work at the lake, see drain and sewer service in Lake Ozark and drain and sewer service in Kaiser.
Plumbing, sewer, and septic rules at the lake are set by each city, county, and sewer provider, so we work to the requirements that apply where your property sits.
