Why Troubleshooting With Your Grease Trap Is Risky

Restaurants regularly rely on grease traps to avoid having to deal with recurring clogs due to grease and fat. If you’re tempted to put off professional grease trap cleaning in Las Vegas, NV and troubleshoot grease trap issues by yourself, this is something Las Vegas Septic Service advises against. Take a moment to learn why troubleshooting your grease trap can be risky.

The Possibility of Unintentional Damage

The inlet pipe, crossover pipe, and outlet pipe are the three main parts of a grease trap. Additionally, there’s a field reversible top, skimming wheel, grease collection container, and solids collection basket. If you’re not familiar with all the parts of a grease trap, a DIY approach to troubleshooting could cause unintentional damage.

Sources of Clogs Can Be Overlooked

A full trap is the most common source of a clog, but it’s not the only one. There can also be crossover clogs and outlet clogs that affect the secondary compartment. If you’re not aware of all potential clog sources, it’s easy to assume you’ve solved the problem only to find out later that you haven’t. With professional grease trap maintenance, however, all parts of the trap are checked. Taking this step allows potential clog sources to be proactively cleaned.

DIY Cleaning Is also Risky

Attempting to perform grease trap services yourself is just as risky. Plus, it can be expensive to purchase and store the equipment needed to do this properly. You’ll save more time and money by having your trap professionally vacuumed and pumped. This also assures you that the liquid waste will be and safely hauled properly.
