clogging waste water drain

19 years ago

We have the kitchen sink, a utility sink & the washer plumbed to drain together into a wastewater drain. It goes into a grease trap and then drains out. All of this is separate from all the other plumbing in our house. (I am not sure what all the words are but I think you will understand) The problem is that it stops up. When we clean it out the clog is white mixed with black and it is hard like concrete. I do not put any grease down the disposal and we do not use much oil in our cooking. My husband says that it is the granulated soap I use in the dishwasher and washing machine. Could this be possible? He unstopped it today but he says this is the last time and I will have to call a professional next time. Does anyone know what I can do to prevent this? Do I need to use liquid soaps? Will the bacteria cleaners help? Any help would be appreciated.
