How do I know if my grease trap is blocked?

As a property owner, it’s key to remain aware of the various signals of a blockage. Leaving a blockage alone can result in a range of health and safety risks. Some of which range from water contamination, to a pest infestation.

See how you can identify a blockage:

Slow Drainage

Notice sinks draining slowly? This could indicate a grease buildup.

Unpleasant Odours

Bad smells similar to rotten eggs coming from your drains.

Water Backup

When water frequently backs up in the sinks or on floors.

Visible Grease

Grease around drains or the trap suggests it’s not effectively separating grease from wastewater.

*As soon as you detect one or more of the signs above, reach out immediately to our wastewater transporters. Which in turn ensures that your residential, commercial, or industrial space is safeguarded.

The Role Grease Traps Play in Your Business

Otherwise known as grease collectors, this system is key to preserving the functions of the sewerage system. This ensures the proper disposal of waste for your property, preventing hazardous overflows.

Grease collectors are an important system that prevent fats, oils and grease (otherwise known as FOG) from entering sewer lines. This is because once it infiltrates, it can lead to major blockages and affect the local environment.

You may be wondering, “How do grease traps concern my restaurant?” The food service industry generates a build-up of grease over-time. Which means that when this system is inefficient, it results in backups and overflows.

Cleaning a Grease Trap
