Grease traps play an essential role in keeping commercial kitchens, food-service operations, and multi-unit facilities running smoothly. When fats, oils, and grease enter your plumbing system unchecked, they cool, harden, and cling to the inside of your pipes. Over time, this buildup can cause slow drains, backups, foul odors, and even costly shutdowns. A properly installed and well-maintained grease trap prevents those problems by capturing grease before it reaches your septic or municipal wastewater system.

Grease traps collect fats, oils, and greases from wastewater, reducing the risk of clogs in pipes and municipal wastewater systems.

The key to managing wastewater and FOG remediation is regularly pumping out and cleaning grease traps and interceptors. Keep reading to learn more about how to maintain grease traps and how a provider like Service Pumping & Drain Co., Inc.™ can help.
