Blocked Drains Lincoln

In Lincolnshire, a drainage interceptor is a crucial component of a drainage system, designed to capture and separate contaminants from wastewater before it enters the sewer system. In this article, we will delve into the world of drainage interceptors, exploring their purpose, functionality, and importance in maintaining a healthy and efficient drainage system.

A drainage interceptor, also known as a grease trap or oil separator, is a device installed in a drainage system to intercept and separate contaminants such as oil, grease, and other pollutants from wastewater. Its primary function is to prevent these contaminants from entering the sewer system, where they can cause blockages, damage pipes, and harm the environment.

In Lincolnshire, drainage interceptors are essential for commercial and industrial properties, particularly those with kitchens, restaurants, or other facilities that generate large amounts of wastewater containing contaminants. Without a drainage interceptor, these contaminants can enter the sewer system, causing problems such as:

• Blockages and backups
• Damage to pipes and infrastructure
• Environmental pollution
• Health risks

A drainage interceptor typically consists of a chamber or tank that is installed in the drainage line. As wastewater flows into the interceptor, the contaminants such as oil and grease float to the surface, while the cleaner water flows out into the sewer system. The interceptor is designed to capture and hold these contaminants, allowing them to be removed and disposed of properly.

There are several types of drainage interceptors available, including:

• Oil separators: designed to capture and separate oil from wastewater
• Grease traps: designed to capture and separate grease from wastewater
• Combination interceptors: designed to capture and separate both oil and grease from wastewater
