The Importance of Grease Traps

An grease trap plays a critical role in your restaurant’s operation. When installed properly, the grease trap is a reliable solution to dispose of your establishment of fats and grease. When functioning correctly, these devices prevent oils from entering the sewer system, preventing blockages and foul odors. However, if there's a malfunction in the system, it can lead to drain backups and unpleasant smells. Routine grease trap cleaning and upkeep are crucial for keeping your operation running efficiently. We at Huntsville Plumbing Services offer professional grease trap cleaning and maintenance to commercial businesses in the foodservice industry. Our team of technicians will inspect and service your grease traps promptly, in a way that accommodates your business hours and needs.

Understanding Your Grease Traps

Grease traps are designed to prevent fats and grease from contaminating the sewer line along with wastewater. When wastewater enters the grease trap, specialized barriers cause the oils and grease to rise to the top and become trapped. The water at the bottom is allowed to pass into the sewer line while the grease and oils build up at the top. If grease and oil build-up becomes excessive, it can clog the grease trap, causing a disruption in the system.

Warning Signs of a Clog

The main cause of grease trap clogs is infrequent maintenance. If not regularly rodded, debris and oils can accumulate, leading to blockages that cause water, or even sewage, to back up into your kitchen. A clog can also produce noxious odors in the kitchen as there is no space for fumes to escape. If your grease trap is outdoors, blockages can cause backups in the main sewer line, with water potentially rising from manhole covers. It’s important to check your grease traps remain unobstructed to prevent these issues. Hiring a professional company like Huntsville Plumbing Services ensures your grease traps are properly maintained to avoid costly repairs or malfunctions.
