What is a Grease Trap?

What is a Grease Trap?

Recently, we published a post on the Homestead Station plumbing project. A few people have asked, "What is a grease trap?". 

Simply put, a grease trap is a large underground container designed to collect waste from drains and allow separation of inert waste, fats, oils and grease from regular liquid waste. A standard type of grease trap has two separate compartments within the main tank. Internally there are two inner tanks that filter and connect to each other. Once liquid reaches the second tank, it connects to the main outgoing pipeline and connect to the sewer lines.

The waste that collects in the tank rises to the top and needs to be pumped out and disposed of properly on a regular basis.

Recently we spoke about the Grease Trap installation at Homestead Station in Homestead, Florida. Click here to read about the Homestead Station plumbing project.

Looking for professional drain cleaning services?

Professional drain cleaning is an effective way to keep your pipeline working smoothly. If you have a clog that won’t seem to go away, our drain cleaning services may be the solution you need.

We will help you get rid of multiple clogged drains in your home or business, as well as water back-ups. Poor water pressure is another sign that drain cleaning may be necessary.

Your Seaway technician will first determine the source of the drain problem. Once we locate the affected area, we will carry out the ideal method of repair. Depending on the problem, we will use a drain snake or more advanced drain cleaning with  hydro jetting technology.

What are signs you need water heater repair?

Your water heater is one of the more costly appliances to replace. This is why we recommend calling for professional repair of your water heater as soon as problems occur.

Contact us for help if you notice the following:

• Inconsistent water temperature

• Lack of hot water

• Unusual sounds

• Rust in water

If you notice that the tank has started to leak or is corroded, contact us right away. We will need to replace your water heater; repairing a leaking tank is often ineffective.

Why is annual backflow testing important?

Annual backflow testing is required by the local municipality if your property has a backflow device installed. Because these reduced pressure zone devices are used to keep unsanitary water from entering your potable water supply, it is imperative to have them inspected every year to make sure they are working properly. Annual backflow testing helps ensure the safety of your water supply, as well as that of your community.

What is the advantage of sewer line video inspection?

Sewer line video inspections reduce the need for exploratory excavation to locate sewer line problems. You won’t have to see your lawn destroyed as we identify the problem area. The entire process is handled through a few small access holes.

Whether you have a small problem or an emergency, count on Seaway Plumbing, Inc. for the right solution. Receive unparalleled customer service from start to finish when you call today at (786) 963-2323.
