When a restaurant outgrows its grease trap
A grease trap is sized for the kitchen it was installed for. If the restaurant has grown since, with more covers, longer hours or more fryers, the trap can fill between pump-outs and let grease into the drain. The signs are a kitchen line that blocks soon after the trap was serviced, or grease showing in the inspection opening downstream. Pumping out more often helps. If it's still not enough, a bigger trap may be needed, and commercial grease traps usually need Sydney Water trade waste approval. We'll tell you which situation you're in. Many of the blocked drains Harris Park restaurants report come back to this.
Signs a kitchen line is about to block
A sink that drains a little slower each day, a sour smell near the floor waste, or water rising in the floor waste when the dishwasher empties are all early signs. Catching it then means a scheduled clear before opening instead of a stoppage in the middle of service. For blocked drains, Harris Park kitchens are better off calling at the first slow sink.
Kitchens that share a drain
In some older shopfront buildings, two neighbouring kitchens share a drain before it reaches the sewer, so grease from one can block the other. The camera shows where the shared section starts, which tells the landlord and both tenants where the problem is and who should fix it. It's one of the trickier blocked drains Harris Park restaurants report.
Period cottages in Harris Park
The terraces and cottages drain through earthenware lines with joints that have shifted over many decades, and roots from street trees and gardens find their way in. The camera shows the condition of the line before we clear it, and we work through existing openings so original paths and floors stay as they are. If the line is cracked, relining by our partner relining team repairs it from inside. Roots cause many of the repeat blocked drains Harris Park cottages get.
Apartments toward the CBD
The high-density buildings share stacks and basement drains, so a blockage low in a stack backs up into the lowest units first while the floors above keep adding to it. The strata manager arranges access, and our report shows where the blockage sat and whether it's common property. Blocked drains Harris Park apartment buildings report usually start with wipes or fat.
How we clear blocked drains Harris Park homes report
For restaurants, we usually start at the kitchen's inspection opening or the grease trap outlet; for homes, the gully or an opening in the yard. The camera shows the blockage first. The jetter scours grease and roots off the pipe wall, and a final camera run shows it clear. A written summary of the cause follows, which restaurants can keep with their maintenance records.
