Choosing Better Environmental Products

Need Grease Trap And Sewer Cleaning Services? Three Eco-Friendly Options To Ask A Cleaning Service About

1 March 2018 by Cassandra Welch

If you have a clog in your commercial sewer line, need preventative sewer cleaning services or need to have a commercial kitchen grease trap cleaned, you may be looking to hire a commercial plumber to assist with these services. As a business owner, you may be looking to run an environmentally-friendly business, and may look to hire other environmentally-friendly businesses to assist you, when possible. If you need these services completed, there are environmentally-friendly options for all three of these services. Considering these factors will help you determine whether the commercial plumber you are hiring offers eco-friendly options. 

What Methods They Use to Remove Stubborn Clogs

One of the factors you should consider when you have a stubborn clog in your commercial drain line is what methods the commercial plumber uses to remove the clog. Some companies will use caustic or chemical-based products to break up the clog and remove it. Unfortunately, these products can be rough on the sewer line and they are not great for the environment. When possible, look for a company that either uses hydro-jetting or uses environmentally-friendly enzymes to eat away at the clog. 

If They Used Recycled Water for Cleaning

Sewer line cleaning is the top method for preventing clogs in your commercial sewer lines. The line is hydro jetted to help remove minor clogs and build up before they grow into larger clogs that prevent water and waste from flowing through the line. Hydro-jetting involves spraying the pipe with a steady stream of pressurized water to help remove build up and grime from the pipes. Since the water is not being consumed or touched by humans, it is appropriate to use recycled water for sewer line cleaning. Doing so is better for the environment and more eco-friendly than using human-consumable water for sewer line cleaning. 

Whether They Recycle the Grease in the Trap

The last factor to consider if you are looking for an eco-friendly commercial plumbing company is what they do with the grease that is removed from your grease traps. Some companies simply dispose of the grease. But what you may not realize is that grease trap waste can actually be converted into methane gas that can be used for power. This is an eco-friendly way to dispose of the grease in your grease trap. 

If you have a clog in your commercial sewer line, need preventative drain cleaning services and/or need grease trap cleaning, ask the commercial plumber what methods they use to remove stubborn clogs, if they used recycled water for cleaning and whether they recycle the grease in the grease trap. The answers they provide you to these questions will help you determine whether they are an eco-friendly company and a company you may wish to work with.
