Grease trap

One of the biggest enemies of sewage systems is grease. The other is the irresponsible housewife and host who accidentally lets a mop, work shirt, or torn jeans go down the drain. But let's stick with grease, as we want to talk about the beneficial effects of grease traps. These devices are used in factories and kitchens, where more grease and oil pollution than average is generated.

We would like to add right now that it is worth including in your home practices those methods that can significantly reduce the amount of grease that gets into the drain. The simplest thing is to wipe the stew bowl with a paper napkin and throw the greasy napkin in the trash. The same is true when cleaning the deep fryer: it is not good to pour the used oil into the sink along with the hot dishwashing water. Oil and grease will definitely stick to the walls of the pipes, at first only as a film, but then small grains of sand, smaller dirt, hair, and fur can also stick to it. And if dirt settles on the inner surface of the pipe, it will get fatter and fatter in the following period. Don't think that there could be an oil eater hiding in the pipe, or as the title of the Czechoslovak film of the eighties said, Ropaci. Oil guzzlers only exist in fake news and exam videos, and sooner or later the home or industrial sewage system will become clogged if we don't pay attention to fats and oils.

Now, the grease trap is a clever device whose job is to bind oils and grease layers that are usually lighter than water. The grease and oil float on top of the water, which is what the grease trap filters out. The device is effective as long as the grease and oil tank is not filled. In restaurants and industrial kitchens with high traffic, this happens quickly, which means that the grease trap needs to be cleaned often. If you have the taste and the experience, then do it, in any other case, there is the unclogging.

Grease traps must therefore be cleaned regularly to ensure that they function properly, otherwise they could cause major blockages. It is particularly important that, for example, the oil trap is properly installed in car washes, as the environmental protection authority specifically and regularly inspects these devices here and in similar industrial facilities. Experts dealing with blockage prevention are happy to replace the grease and oil-binding filters. In addition to the filters, however, the condition of the grease traps and the pipelines upstream and downstream must also be regularly checked. All the more so because where there is a large amount of grease in the wastewater, oil can certainly be deposited in the pipeline. In such cases, it may be necessary to wash and clean the pipeline regularly.

We can also use the previously mentioned high-pressure water jet pipe cleaner to flush the sewage. The equipment includes a tank and, among other things, a pump. We can heat the water, hot water is much more efficient, and we can also use environmentally friendly grease removers, without which it would be difficult to clean the sewage system. Of course, our employees also guarantee this work. Among other things, you will not have to pay environmental fines for using chemicals that are not very environmentally friendly. So it is best if you choose us to replace the filters of grease traps and clean the sewage pipes contaminated with oil. In this case, remember that it is advisable to dial the blockage removal service.
