A&P Plumbing & Sewer recently completed preventative maintenance on a customer's drainage system by jetting all grease trap inlet and outlet lines, cleaning outside sanitary and outlet lines, and jetting interior cleanouts throughout the building.

To ensure everything was operating properly, we tested flow by running water through floor drains and checked the system for proper drainage. Once the work was complete, we cleaned up and mopped the area before leaving.

Routine maintenance helps prevent costly backups, keeps drains flowing efficiently, and minimizes unexpected downtime for your business.

Who said a plumbers job is boring, never worked at A&P! Upon arrival, our team found the grease trap backed up and the entire sanitary manhole downstream of the grease trap overflowing with wastewater. After investigating the issue, we located a buried manhole hidden beneath dirt and wood chips that was preventing proper access to the system.

Once uncovered, our technicians cleared the blockage and restored flow through the line. We also hydro jetted the grease trap inlet and outlet lines to thoroughly clean the system and help prevent future backups.

Another drainage emergency solved and another customer back up and running!

A&P Plumbing & Sewer recently completed a comprehensive drain and grease trap cleaning service for a commercial customer. Our team jetted all grease trap inlets and outlets, cleaned sanitary lines, and jetted every accessible cleanout throughout the building to help maintain proper flow. 💪

To ensure everything was working properly, we ran water through multiple triple sinks and tested several floor drains. During the service, we noticed an abnormal buildup of trash and grease at the grease trap inlet, which can lead to future drainage issues if left unchecked.

After verifying proper flow throughout the system, we cleaned up the work area and mopped before leaving. Keeping up with routine maintenance helps prevent unexpected backups, costly repairs, and downtime.

Are bugs taking over your drains? 🪰

If you're noticing drain flies or other pesky insects around your sinks, floor drains, or plumbing fixtures, the problem may be lurking inside your pipes. Over time, grease, sludge, and organic buildup can create the perfect breeding ground for unwanted pests.

Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to thoroughly clean the inside of your pipes, removing the buildup that attracts and supports drain flies and other insects. It's one of the most effective ways to restore flow and help eliminate bug infestations at the source!

Don't let bugs make themselves at home in your drains. Call A&P Plumbing and Sewer at (630) 406-5767 and ask about our professional hydro jetting services today!

What Happens If Your RPZ Device Fails a Test?

A failed RPZ (Reduced Pressure Zone) device test doesn't always mean you need a full replacement—but it does mean action should be taken quickly.

If your RPZ device fails, a licensed plumber will inspect the assembly to identify the issue and recommend the best solution. In many cases, the device can be repaired by cleaning or replacing worn internal components. In other situations, a full replacement may be necessary.

Addressing RPZ failures promptly helps protect your drinking water from contamination, keeps your system operating safely, and ensures compliance with local regulations.

At A&P Plumbing & Sewer, our certified technicians provide professional RPZ testing, repairs, and replacements throughout the Chicagoland area.
