Grease trap issues? Call us at 305.620.7005 for help.

There are a number of problems that can prevent grease traps from operating effectively.

Clog in Crossover

This occurs when FOGs and/or debris build up in the crossover line between the two compartments. If the crossover pipe is clogged, the liquid level in the first compartment will be too high while the level in the second compartment will be normal. The water may even be overflowing in the first compartment.

Clog in Incoming Line

A clog in the incoming line will quickly cause the lowest plumbing fixture in the restaurant to back up. Look for backed up floor drains. A backed up sink suggests that the branch line to that fixture is clogged as opposed to the grease trap incoming line.

Clog in Outgoing Line

If there is a clog in the outgoing line, the grease trap will overflow from both compartments. The clog may be in the line itself or in the city main. If you haven’t been pumping waste on cycle, the clog in the main may be your fault. Make sure to always dispose of waste water on cycle.

Full Grease Trap

A full grease trap results when grease has not been removed from the primary compartment in a timely fashion, causing it to spill over into the secondary compartment, and clogging crossover, incoming, and outgoing lines. To see if the trap is full, open the lid and use a pole to gauge the depth of the grease cap. If it reaches the bottom, then the trap is full. However, if you’re experiencing a grease trap problem, it’s usually not the case that the grease trap is full.

What the heck is a lift station?

What is a Lift Station?

Wastewater lift stations are facilities designed to move wastewater from lower to higher elevation, particularly where the elevation of the source is not sufficient for gravity flow and/or when the use of gravity conveyance will result in excessive excavation depths and high sewer construction costs.





Maintenance work


The pumps, electronic controls and electrical works are under constant physical stress, and the corrosive environment requires constant maintenance repair. There is, however, a point where they need to be rebuilt with wholesale equipment replacement. On average that is about every 15 to 25 years. For larger capacity pumps it is recommended to rebuild at least one pump a minimum of every two years. Performance of routine and preventative maintenance can save station's owner from costly repair bills.


We offer monthly maintenance for lift stations. If you would like to request a formal agreement, give us a call to our office 305.620.7005!

Received an SSES Notice? Call us at 305.620.7005!

 

SSES is a comprehensive and systematic process aimed at identifying and investigating sanitary sewer system problems and developing maintenance and rehabilitation methods to solve these problems. During the survey, the system is thoroughly inspected and data about the conditions of various system components are collected. The main field investigative procedures typically include:

 

 

 

• Flow Monitoring

• Smoke Testing.

• Manhole Inspections

Time to service your storm drains...

The first thing that needs to be done before the actual cleaning begins is to set up the vacuum system by attaching the vacuum pipe to the truck’s intake hose. It is then placed in the storm drainage system. The water from the tanks will be used for jet-washing and flushing the drains all over. At the same time, the water is vacuuming up anything in the drain which helps clear the drain. After cleaning, the drain is labeled that it has been cleaned.

Drains, Drains, Drains! Clean your storm drains NOW!

Storm drain systems need to be cleaned regularly. Routine cleaning reduces the amount of pollutants, trash, and debris both in the storm drain system and in receiving waters. Clogged drains and storm drain inlets can cause the drains to overflow, leading to increased erosion. Cleaning increases dissolved oxygen, reduces levels of bacteria, and supports in-stream habitat. Areas with relatively flat grades or low flows should be given special attention because they rarely achieve high enough flows to flush themselves.

Some common pollutants found in storm drains include:

• trash and debris
• sediments
• oil and grease
• antifreeze
• paints
• cleaners and solvents
• pesticides
• fertlizers
• animal waste
• detergents

Lift Station Pumps

Sewage pumps are almost always end-suction centrifugal pumps with open impellers and are specially designed with a large open passage so as to avoid clogging with debris or winding stringy debris onto the impeller. A four pole or six pole AC induction motor normally drives the pump. Rather than provide large open passages, some pumps, typically smaller sewage pumps, also macerate any solids within the sewage breaking them down into smaller parts which can more easily pass through the impeller.

The interior of a sewage pump station is a very dangerous place. Poisonous gases, such as methane and hydrogen sulfide, can accumulate in the wet well; an ill-equipped person entering the well would be overcome by fumes very quickly. Any entry into the wet well requires the correct confined space entry method for a hazardous environment. To minimize the need for entry, the facility is normally designed to allow pumps and other equipment to be removed from outside the wet well.
