Why Grease in Sewer Lines Is a Big Problem

Sewer pipes are designed to drive wastewater away from your property, but this won’t occur if grease builds up on the interior surfaces. Accumulated grease pockets also allow water to remain in constant contact with the pipeline, and this can promote deterioration, making sewer line repair or replacement necessary.

Over time, grease deposits can build up to the point that a pipeline becomes partially blocked. This leads to slow drains and potential backups of sewage into the property’s plumbing fixtures until sewer pipe line repair or cleaning has been performed.

Extreme grease accumulation will generally cause pipeline blockages that increase in frequency and severity over time. These sewage backups can damage property, contaminate soil and water, and eventually contribute to the need for complete sewer line replacement.
