Grease Trap Failure Causing Kitchen Drain Backups? We Can Help.
Today our team responded to a commercial kitchen experiencing slow drainage and backups. After jetting and inspecting the grease trap outlet line, we found:
Heavy grease buildup throughout the lines
Concrete inside the outlet piping that could not be cleared with hydro jetting
Interior wall of the grease trap collapsing into the pit
Concrete visible at the bottom of the grease trap
Kitchen floor drains and 3-compartment sink lines backing up due to grease trap malfunction
We were able to create a small opening to allow some slow drainage, but the damage to the line and grease trap structure means a full replacement is recommended.
When grease traps fail, they don’t just slow things down — they can cause major backups throughout your kitchen and put your operation at risk.
If your commercial kitchen is experiencing slow drains, backups, or grease trap issues, don’t wait until it becomes an emergency.
