Frequently Asked Questions

Question:

What if I also use hot water or detergent to wash grease down the drain?

Answer:

These methods won’t prevent grease from building up in sewer pipes. Hot water will cool down in the pipes causing fats and grease to coagulate. Detergents that claim to dissolve grease may cause blockages to occur further down the pipeline.
