Grease Clogs Are a Major Problem in Euless Homes

Our research found Euless homeowners spend more money on clogged drains than the average DFW resident. The most common cause of Euless drain repair service is grease clogs in kitchen drains.

These organic clogs are harder to remove from drain pipes than any other type of clog. That’s because they grow and harden over time, attracting food scraps, hair and other materials.

“Think about fat, oil and grease in your pipes like cholesterol in your body," our master plumbers explained. “It doesn't just stick to the walls — it hardens in place once it's there and only gets worse.”

Grease doesn’t stop at your drain — it loves eating your sewer pipes

The fatty acids present in FOG clogs love eating your drain and sewer pipes. They corrode older metal pipes, especially galvanized steel and cast iron. 

When you pour grease down your kitchen sink drain, it only takes a few weeks to congeal, cool and begin damaging your sewer system. 

There’s No Safe Way to Pour Grease Down the Drain

We’re all guilty of sending cooking oil and grease down the kitchen sink. It’s easy to just “make it disappear”. The problem is, it never really disappears — it lives in your drain pipes and sewer line for months.

Greasy clogs in your underground sewer pipes are a magnet for live oak tree root systems. These tree roots crave the organic nutrients in these clogs, and try to burst through your sewer pipes to reach them.

Our recent Texas sewer repair cost guide estimates basic spot repairs for tree root intrusions cost between $3,000-$8,000 for Euless residents. If you need a section of your sewer line replaced, expect to pay over $10,000.

Texas ‘fatbergs’ are killing your city sewer system (and your taxes)

Even if the grease does clear your home’s plumbing system, it ends up in the city sewer. There, it joins all the fats and grease that 60,000 Euless residents poured down their drains.

This creates massive fatbergs — massive globs of fats, oil, grease and waste in the wastewater system. The name is funny, but the effect is not.

The City of Houston spent $6.7 million clearing fatbergs from their sewer system in 2022, and another $50 million repairing sanitary sewer lines. That money came directly from taxpayers.

TLDR: Every time you pour grease down the drain, your taxes go up. And so do your neighbor’s.

Did you know? A NYC study found that 66% of all sewer backups are caused by grease.

6 More Disgusting Ways FOG Clogs Affect Euless Residents

The cost of grease clogs in your drains is even greater than increased taxes and simple spot repairs. Over time, they create a breeding ground for hazardous waste, bacteria and pests.

Over the last 3 years, our local plumbers have answered service calls from DFW residents dealing with grease clog problems that got pretty gross:

• Wastewater and raw sewage backup into the home.
• Inefficient wastewater flow away from the home.
• Biofilm and bacteria accumulation in the grease trap.
• Pest infestation around the sink and floor drains.
• Wastewater flooding in the backyard.
• Toxic sewage gas leaks in the backyard.

Grease clogs are making local homeowners sick

The Brazos River Authority protects the water resources of 3.3 million Texans in the Brazos River Basin.

And they say pouring grease down the drain is making all of us sicker in multiple ways:

1. Foul odors. Those nasty smells in your sink drain are full of toxic sewage gas. You shouldn’t be breathing that in under any circumstances.
2. Disease-carrying pests. Organic clogs attract mosquitos and other disease-riddled pests.
3. Bacteria in grease traps. Biofilm in your grease trap allows the growth of bacteria and germs.
