Grease trap cleaning is possibly one of the messiest problems with drains.

Such things as grease, cooking oil, drain sludge, liquid waste build up can cause issues.

The grease trap is located in the S section of the drain pipes under the sink, and the purpose is to retain the grease and waste stopping it from entering the waste water system.

If large amounts of oil and grease from cooking escape through the grease trap it can harm the environment.

When it cools, oil and grease hardens and can plug the pipes creating another problem of a blocked sink drain and pipes, possibly causing the sink to overflow.A grease trap, also called a grease interceptor, in a sink is a gadget attached to the plumbing within the pipes to store grease that accumulates after being washed down the drain.

Commercial grease traps are used in businesses like restaurants, bakeries and such places as hotel kitchens, or wherever the use of extensive cooking facilities operates.
