Grease traps and drains in Jersey City, NJ
A slow pot sink is often the under-sink trap or the line to it. Pumping a large outdoor interceptor is a different job from snaking a floor drain.
Jersey City is in New Jersey. Fixt in-person bids use New York ZIP codes 100–149. This page is a repair guide for Jersey City. Post a job if the work is in New York, or request a Fixt Virtual Fix consult, listed at $39 for a 20-minute session.
Downtown towers and older buildings elsewhere have different access rules. Service elevators and loading docks belong in the request. Use this page to plan the repair.
Typical issues
- A pot sink that drains slowly after service is commonly a full under-sink interceptor or a grease-lined pipe.
- A floor drain that burps near the dish pit can be the same line. Say which fixtures are slow.
- A smell only at the sink, with a normal floor drain, points at the trap seal or the interceptor lid.
- An outdoor interceptor that is on a pumping contract should not be posted as a snake job.
- Do not use a chemical drain opener in a grease line and then ask a tech to snake it.
