At Mr. Rooter®, our goal is to offer the right repairs and the most dedicated and efficient service every time. We don’t recommend a service that you don’t need. So, if a cleaning will suffice to bring your grease trap back up to spec, that’s what we’ll do. If a repair is sufficient, we’ll fix it. If you need a replacement, we’ll tell you and help you find and install a new unit.
Typically, if your sinks are draining slowly or you’re noticing foul odors, it may just need to be cleaned.
If there are persistent leaks, especially after the unit has been cleaned, there could be a crack that needs to be repaired.
If there is major structural damage to the unit, which could present as visible rust and many of the issues discussed above, it might be time for a replacement.
Can I Fix a Grease Trap Myself?
There may be some things that you can do yourself, such as pumping the grease trap. However, it’s messy, and it can be complicated. What’s more, if you’re not a trained professional, you won’t know what you’re looking for and may overlook a major structural issue.
It always pays to consult a professional. DIY solutions may seem like a cheaper and easier option, but if you miss something, break something, install something incorrectly, or mistakenly believe you’ve fixed a malfunctioning system, it could cost you a lot more time and money in the future.
