Understanding Grease Traps and Grease Interceptors
Grease traps and grease interceptors play a crucial role in commercial kitchens by capturing fats, oils, and grease (FOG) before they enter the sewer system. Without regular maintenance, FOG quickly builds up and leads to blockages, foul odors, health concerns, and expensive plumbing repairs. Keeping these systems serviced is essential for a smooth, compliant, and efficient kitchen.

How often should I have my grease trap cleaned?
The frequency depends on your kitchen’s volume and local regulations. Most restaurants require monthly or quarterly service to prevent clogs and stay compliant. If you’re noticing slow drainage, gurgling sounds, or foul odors, it’s time for a professional cleaning.
What are the signs my grease trap is full?
The most common signs include:
- Slow drainage in your sinks and floor drains.
- Foul odors coming from your drains that won't go away.
- Gurgling noises from your pipes.
- Grease backups in sinks or other plumbing fixtures.
If you notice any of these, call for service immediately.
What’s the difference between a grease trap and an interceptor?
A "grease trap" is typically a smaller unit (10-50 gallons) located inside the kitchen, often under a sink. A "grease interceptor" is a much larger tank (500+ gallons) that is usually buried outside. We service both types, and both require regular pumping to prevent plumbing issues.
What does a 'full-service' cleaning include?
We don't just skim. A full-service cleaning means we pump the entire trap, scrape the walls, and rinse the baffles. We also inspect for any visible issues and provide a detailed service invoice for your compliance records.
