Repairing Watts Grease Traps
Before ordering anything for a Watts grease trap, we look up the exact model number. Parts that look alike often differ between production runs, and matching the model avoids repeat visits.
How we repair your Watts Grease Trap
A grease trap is a commercial interceptor installed in the kitchen drain line that slows wastewater so fats, oils and grease float and solids settle before the water reaches the sewer. A grease trap usually involves a motor or ram, switches and safety interlocks, and seals, or a passive system of baffles and drains. A technician checks power and switches, clears jams or buildup, and inspects seals and connections for leaks.
Grease traps must be maintained to meet local codes, so commercial calls are scheduled before they cause backups or fines.
