The Grease Trap

Failing to maintain and inspect grease traps can lead to severe consequences: sewer line blockages, costly emergency plumbing repairs, health code violations, and even temporary business closures. Regular inspections help restaurants:

• Prevent kitchen backups and sewer overflows.
• Stay compliant with health and environmental regulations.
• Avoid fines and protect their business reputation.
• Extend the lifespan of plumbing infrastructure.

Best Practices

• Clean grease traps before they reach 25% capacity with FOGs.
• Inspect and maintain traps at least twice a year-or more frequently for high-volume kitchens.
• Keep accurate maintenance logs and address any issues immediately.
• Consult with professionals for proper sizing and installation if frequent problems occur.

The grease trap inspections and proactive maintenance, restaurant owners can ensure smooth operations, regulatory compliance, and a cleaner environment for their community.
