Grease Trap Repair Service
Grease traps are essential components of commercial kitchens. The device was designed to prevent FOGS – animal fats, vegetable oils, grease, and solids (basically food particles) from entering the main sewerage system. Grease traps are usually installed under the kitchen sink, in between the sink pipe, and the sewer line. The objective of a grease trap is to intercept wastewater that flows from the kitchen sink, and filter FOGS from them before they can enter the drainage system.
How Does a Grease Trap Work?
A grease trap has two main components, a baffled structured trap, and a sludge tank. The device maintains a simple principle to perform its operation. Grease is 10 to 15 percent less dense than water, so when wastewater enters the trap and gets the opportunity to cool down, grease gets separated and they float on top of the water. Solids are heavier than both grease & water, they settle down at the bottom, and get stored in the sludge tank.
Businesses that rely heavily on their kitchens, such as restaurants and other foodservice companies require their plumbing system to work efficiently, without any interruption or issues. Without a fit grease trap, FOGS can create clogs that may be messy and can lead to various problems, such as sewer backups, overflows, etc. A clog in your commercial kitchen could extremely affect your business and your professional reputation. It may prevent the business from running as it does in a normal situation.
Just installing a grease trap in the commercial kitchen is not enough. Like any other device, a grease trap requires regular inspection, cleanings & maintenance, or repair service as soon as it is needed.
Issues You May Encounter!
What are the main grease trap issues that require immediate repairing?
There are different issues that may occur if you ignore on-time grease trap cleaning or maintenance. Here are some of the most common grease trap problems you may encounter –
- Full Trap: When you don’t clean your grease trap timely, you may encounter this issue. When your device is excessively full, grease begins to leak into the sewer line causing clogs or blockage. Sometimes, they may even find their way inside your establishment. When the device is full, it restricts the water flow rate, and as a result, you face sewer backups and overflows.
- Clog in the Crossover Pipe: A grease trap has three main pipes, an inlet pipe, a crossover pipe, and the outlet pipe. The inlet pipe routes the wastewater from the kitchen sink into the primary component where they get separated. Then the crossover pipe, which is found in the wall between the primary compartment and the secondary compartment, takes the water into the secondary compartment. Even though the device is designed in a way, so that grease cannot reach the crossover pipe. But it doesn’t always work 100% effectively; few grease and solids may enter the crossover pipe over time and can create clogs even inside the crossover pipe. When this happens liquid level of the trap will drastically rise, you may find some of the liquids and grease backing up in your kitchen sink.
- Outlet Clog: Just like crossover clog, sometimes debris, grease found their way inside the outlet clog. This usually happens from overflows in both primary and secondary compartments. When this happens, the outlet pipe can get clogged resulting in system failure of a grease trap, and requires emergency attention of an expert grease trap repair service.
