Folks, my 80+ year old house is waterfront on the Bay - hence, deeply in the "critical zone".
Built under the old Southern Building
Code, it has a grease trap and drain
field for the kitchen sink. Essentially,
that is a small septic system dedicated
to the kitchen.
Well, the iron baffles in the old grease trap itself have all rusted away long ago, and now the outflow has clogged
with grease. So, it is basically a small
holding tank now.
Any suggestions as to how to deal with this? (I could get it pumped out and
get a Roto-Rooter kind of deal down in there and clean out the clog, I guess,
but that is probably just a temporary fix.)
