Desilting — Grease Traps & Manholes
Assess and remove accessible silt and sludge from grease traps and manholes
Silt, grit and grease in manholes, grease traps or main building drains may reduce usable drainage space and contribute to blockage or odour. We assess accessible areas and waste-handling arrangements before proposing desilting, flushing or further inspection.
