Clogs usually occur unnoticed and cause the greatest inconvenience at the worst possible times. Regular maintenance is necessary not only in households but also in public kitchens and restaurants. By cleaning and degreasing the drain, you can easily prevent problems.
What can cause grease buildup in the drain?
There are many factors that can cause grease and blockage in the drain. In kitchens, the biggest risks are oily food residues washed down the drain and washing dishes in cold water. In addition, faulty structural solutions can also increase the risks, such as a poorly chosen slope angle or an unreasonably small or large pipe diameter.
The resulting material has a characteristic grayish-white hue, but its consistency varies widely. It can be oily to the touch, soapy, or even more solid. A gypsum-hard deposit requires serious intervention. In addition to fats, this material can contain various chemicals that can greatly affect its structure.
How is the duct degreasing done?
Home remedies are useless against long-standing fatty blockages, so you should definitely specialist help should be sought. Cleaning can be done using several methods. Which of these is the most appropriate depends on the density of the deposited dirt and the material of the pipe system. As a result, the camera sewer inspection is extremely important in all cases. This gives the specialist an accurate picture of the current condition of the channel and what tools are needed for the job.
The very soft, almost plastic material can be removed relatively easily with a high-pressure washer. However, for slightly harder deposits, it is necessary to woman machine is required. It may be necessary to repeat the flushing several times in succession to get the pipe clean again. Hard dirt can only be removed with a mechanical spiral and woman It can be blasted together with a sewer cleaning machine. Since this requires a lot of force, routine and professional experience are essential to preserve the integrity of the pipes.
Iron pipes create a worse situation in terms of their material, as grease can cause serious rotting in itself. At the end of this, the pipe can burst without any intervention. The property of plastic PVC pipes is that they can harden in the ground, making them easier to break. Concrete and eternit pipes are somewhat more durable, but due to their uneven inner surface they can quickly become greasy again. In terms of cleanability, KG PVC and GEBERIT are considered to be well washable pipes.
At the end of the procedure, it is advisable to perform the canal camera scan again so that the specialist can verify the effectiveness of the work.
How can you prevent the drain from getting greasy?
There are two effective methods of prevention, one is regular maintenance and the other is the use of a kitchen grease trap. The installation of a grease trap is primarily recommended in larger catering establishments, but of course it can also be used in households. This structure is practically a tank that separates wastewater based on specific gravity. The oily layers float on the top of the tank, while food residues sink. The grease trap does not allow fatty wastewater to enter the sewer, i.e. it prevents grease build-up. At the same time, it also keeps food residues away. However, in order for the device to function properly, the tank also needs to be cleaned at certain intervals.
