grease buildup in drain
anyone had experience with some preventative procedures to alleviate grease build up in restaurant drains. i know that lye [sodium hydroxide] plus grease = soap, but does it work in drains?--nbc0 -
Try this:
Natural Enviro 1000 - Grease Trap Solution...
www.naturalenviro.com
This is a bacterial type product.Does a fairly good job.No lye.
I used to use Chloroben PT. don't know if it is still available or not.0 -
Install...
a grease trap and have it cleaned on regular intervals. Is a grease trap not a code requirement in your area for this application/use?
Lye (sodium hydroxide) based crystal drain cleaners should be effective on grease deposits however.0 -

Good to see you again, Mike!

if it isn't
code in your area to have a grease trap on a commercial kitchen (e.g. restaurant, school, etc.) it should be. In any event, do install one -- at the very least on the dishwasher drain and any sinks used for cleaning or dishwashing.
And Then Make Sure It Is Cleaned Out! Can't tell you how many grease traps I have inspected which were never cleaned out.
You'll need a drain cleaner as the other guys have mentioned to get rid of the gook that's already there...
Trust me: you'll have much better drains -- and the guys at the sewer plant will be very appreciative! Of course, if you have a septic tank, the guys who clean it will hate you, as they won't have to pump it so often!Br. Jamie, osb
