Not Good

Our drain line to the grease trap was backing up so I thought our grease trap was full.  It may have been.  I had it cleaned out yesterday and was shocked when I found the line still backing up.  I went down to the clean out and found that it was completely backed up.  That was not good.  This was last night.  When I opened the cap nasty water began squirting out.  There was a solid wall of grease build up.  I was shocked.  I have no idea how anything was getting through that pipe.  I had to clean it out.  It was gross and I looked and smelled like I had just thrown up on myself.  Disgusting.  I was there for quite some time and got the pipe pretty clean.  I was breaking up grease, digging it out with a contraption on built but I was unable to break through and have water start flowing.  In my attempts to break through the nastiness I got my contraption stuck and whilst attempting to break it free the extension pole came apart in the middle of the pipe.  I have not been able to get it back together.  The good news is that the water is now flowing through to the grease interceptor.  The bad news is there is part of an extension rod in the middle of the pipe.  I went back today and attempted to get it out but had not luck.  It is in there in a bad way and I don't know what to do to break it loose.  I tried a few different things with no luck today.  Very frustrating.  I guess I will just have to go down there and clean out around that pole the best I can every couple of months or so.  Not happy about this situation.
