Most septic clogs don’t require a pump out 🚫🚛

About 95% of the time, the blockage is right at the 90° inlet fitting going into the tank. A simple line clearing from the inlet side can get everything flowing again — no pump needed ✅

If you’re backed up, call Buds Septic. We’ll locate the clog, clear the line, and get your system running properly 💪🛠️💧

If you know Lazaro you know he’s been with us on our pump truck for 10 years.

Please keep him in your prayers. His loving wife of many, many years passed away yesterday. Our hearts are with him during this incredibly difficult time. 🙏

Grease buildup in a sewer line is one of the most common causes of clogs we see in septic and plumbing systems. It doesn’t just come from “pouring grease down the sink” — a lot of everyday habits quietly add up.

Here are the biggest culprits:

🍳 Cooking Grease & Oils

* Bacon grease, hamburger grease, frying oil
* Butter, margarine, lard, shortening
* Salad dressings and marinades poured down the drain

Even if it goes down hot and liquid, it cools, hardens, and sticks inside the pipe.

🍽️ Food Residue from Dishes

* Plates and pans rinsed without wiping first
* Sauces, gravies, cheese, sour cream
* Peanut butter, mayonnaise, frosting

These are loaded with fats that cling to pipe walls.

🧼 Soap & Detergent (Most people don’t realize this)

Soaps combine with grease and minerals in water to form a thick, waxy substance called soap scum that helps grease stick even harder inside pipes.

🗑️ Garbage Disposal Use

Grinding food doesn’t remove grease — it chops it into tiny pieces that stick to pipes faster and farther down the line.

🥛 Dairy Products

* Milk, cream, yogurt
* Ice cream melted in the sink

Dairy is high in fat and contributes to buildup.

🧻 “Rinsing” Instead of Scraping

Letting food wash off in the sink instead of scraping into the trash adds daily grease to the line.

🧴 Non-Food Grease Sources

* Cosmetic creams and lotions washed off hands
* Oily hair products
* Some cleaning products with oils

⸻

What Happens in the Pipe

Grease sticks → catches food → catches wipes/hair → turns into a thick sludge wall → leads to slow drains, backups, and full clogs.

This is why grease clogs are often found 10–30 feet down the line, not right under the sink.

⸻
‼️Quick Prevention Tips‼️

* Wipe pans with a paper towel before washing
* Pour grease into a can, not the sink
* Use sink strainers
* Limit garbage disposal use
