Kitchen Grease in Septic Tank

Wednesday, March 28th, 2012

Here’s what happens when grease is added to the septic tank.  The PH drops and all septic tank bacteria dies, and this happens.  Let me tell you that this is never ever supposed to look like this.  The damage done to this sytem is really expensive.

No grease down the septic tank ever.  Or this can happen

Happy Thanksgiving Friends,

Yesterday we had three emergencies and one today.  Pretty good.  But one to note was yesterday, we had someone who poured all their cooking grease down the kitchen sink.  I feel so bad for someone when that happens.  See the homeowner didn’t pour the grease down.  They have never done that in the past.  But a family guest was helping in the kitchen and has always heard that, “chase the grease with a lot of hot water.”  Remember there is not enough hot water in a 50 gallon hot water heater to raise the temperature in the septic tank even one degree.  Simple, all grease goes into a can, and get’s put under the sink to harden.  Then, it goes into the garbage.

 

Thanks for reading,

I hope everyone has a great Turkey day, and has an extra helping for me.  Safe travels,

 

Thanks a million, and God bless
