Common Issues Requiring Repair

1. Leaks
   
   • Seals, joints, or the trap body may develop leaks, allowing grease and wastewater to escape and potentially damage surrounding areas.
2. Cracks or Structural Damage
   
   • Physical damage from impact, corrosion, or prolonged use can cause cracks that reduce the trap’s effectiveness.
3. Malfunctioning Components
   • Inlet and outlet baffles, lids, or other components may fail, resulting in poor separation of grease from wastewater.
4. Odor Problems
   
   • Inefficient traps can allow grease accumulation and wastewater stagnation, producing unpleasant odors in the kitchen.
