I have not encounted this problem but i would put a grease trap in to
catch all the wax and ect. I would construct it on the style of a honey
clarifier so when the water and wax go down a drain it would have to go
thru several baffels before it can enter the sewer system. The wax and
debry would be caught in screen baskets and the water can flow freely
into the drain pipes.
