Why are grease traps required and why do they need to be serviced regularly?
Grease traps are required in most areas to prevent fats, oils, and greases (FOG) from flowing into a city’s sewer system. FOG can hinder the sewage treatment process and cause environmental downfalls. Without regular service, a grease trap will eventually reach capacity and allow FOG to enter the sewer system. An improperly maintained trap often causes line blockages, overflows, odors, and costly emergency services. All grease traps will clog without regular maintenance.
