Las Vegas Trap Cleaning

Keep Your Restaurant & Business Running Smoothly with Our Plumbing Services

The grease trap is a critical component of your restaurant's plumbing system, as it is designed to filter out non-water, non-soluble materials from the wastewater stream. The trap is essentially a U-shaped pipe, with the bottom of the U being the entrance point for wastewater and the top of the U being the exit point for the filtered water. The purpose of the trap is to prevent solids from leaving the system, thereby protecting the rest of the plumbing from damage. If the trap fails to do its job, then you may notice that your drains are clogged with grease and other solids, and the rest of your plumbing system may be at risk of damage.

Fortunately, our team at Vegas Plumbing offers Las Vegas trap cleaning services. We can come to your business, inspect your grease trap, and perform any necessary cleaning or maintenance.

Types of Traps

There are two main types of grease traps: the 3-way and the 4-way. The 3-way trap is the most common and is designed to separate the solids from the water. The 3-way trap does this by having the wastewater flow into the bottom of the U-shaped pipe, then flow up the left side of the U, and then out of the top of the U. The solids, which are heavier than water, will settle on the bottom of the U. The 4-way trap is designed to separate the solids from the water, as well as separate the oil from the water. The 4-way trap accomplishes this by having the wastewater flow into the bottom of the U-shaped pipe, then flow up the left side of the U, and then flow down the right side of the U. The solids, oil, and grease will settle on the bottom of the U, while the water will flow out of the top of the U.

Signs You Need Trap Cleaning

There are a number of indications that you may need your grease trap cleaned. The most obvious sign is that your drains are clogged with grease and other solid materials. You may also notice a foul odor coming from your drains or that your drains are slow to drain. You may also notice that your drains are running slower than normal, that your water bills are higher than normal, or that there are large amounts of solids in the bottom of your sink or tub drains.

If you notice any of these signs, then you should schedule an appointment with our Las Vegas trap cleaning team. We will come to your business, inspect your trap, and perform any necessary cleaning. If your trap requires more extensive repairs, then we can also perform those services for you. Our plumbers are fully licensed, licensed, and insured, and we offer competitive rates on all of our services.
