Grease Buildup Removal in Fort Worth

Grease Buildup Removal: what property owners should know

Grease can enter drain lines from kitchens, food preparation areas and commercial operations. As fats, oils and food residue cool, they can cling to pipe walls and collect with other debris. Over time, the usable opening inside the pipe may become smaller and water may drain more slowly.

How hydro jetting may help

Hydro jetting may be considered when grease and soft deposits have built up inside a suitable pipe. A technician uses a specialized hose and a selected water pressure to loosen material and flush it through the line. The method is not automatically suitable for every pipe. The line should be assessed first, particularly if there are signs of corrosion, cracking, weak joints or previous repairs.

When cleaning may not be enough

A recurring kitchen drain problem should not be treated as proof that grease is the only cause. A blockage can also involve food scraps, wipes, foreign objects, a poor pipe slope or structural damage. Finding the cause helps avoid repeating the same temporary fix.

What information should you provide?

The right next step is to describe the affected fixture, how often it slows down and whether other drains are affected. A service professional can then determine whether inspection, mechanical clearing, hydro jetting or repair is the better option.

• Which fixture or section of the property is affected?
• How long has the problem been happening?
• Has the line been cleared or inspected before?
• Are multiple fixtures affected, or just one?
