Proper grease trap or grease interceptor pumping is the best way to prevent backups and drainage issues

What Is A Grease Trap?

The inlet baffle wall slows down the water, allowing solids and FOG to separate. Baffles on the trap floor block the solids. “Clean” water leaves the trap through the outlet baffle.

Grease traps are typically inside traps – either in the floor or under the sink.

Grease traps should be pumped EVERY 30 Days

What Is A Grease Interceptor?

The inlet downturn slows down the water, allowing gravity to separate solids from fats, oils, and grease. Water flows through the baffles between each compartment further filtering out FOG (fats, oils and grease) and solids until “clean” water leaves the interceptor through the outlet downturn.

Grease interceptors should be pumped EVERY 90 Days

Why Is Maintenance So Important?

No interceptor or trap is 100% effective at retaining grease, oils, solids, etc. The longer you leave a device unmaintained, the more material escapes As material, such as grease, leaves the device, it can coat the inside of pipes. This can lead to frequent costly hydro jetting of sewer lines. 

When a interceptor or trap in not properly maintained:

    • Excess buildup of the contents can lead to blockages or surcharges.
    • Missing or broken inlet and outlet baffles or baffle walls do not allow efficient separation of grease.
    • Grease entering the City sewer system can backup causing sanitary sewer overflows, blockages and stoppages.
    • Surcharging and blockages may require your establishment to close until the issues are resolved.
    • Grease over time becomes acidic and can corrode and destroy your interceptor or trap.
    • Holes in traps or interceptors can allow grease to penetrate the ground beneath the facility.
    • Additives are prohibited! Enzymes, bacteria, microbes, grease grabbers, grease liquifiers, and grease eaters should never be used and are harmful to the sewer systems.
