Common Questions

What is a grease trap?

Grease traps and interceptors capture fats, oils, and grease (FOG) and food solids from entering the sewer system. They are designed to allow uncontaminated water to exit while collecting FOG and food waste.

What’s the purpose of a grease trap?

Grease traps are required by local municipalities for all commercial food establishments that add grease or oil into the sewer system. They preserve your sewer lines and prevent blockages, allowing you to function without worry.

When is the right time to clean your grease trap?

The City of Marion requires that indoor traps be cleaned every monthly and outdoor traps every three months. As a general rule, grease traps should be emptied when a quarter of the trap’s capacity is filled with FOGS. If you notice foul odors or drain backup, it may be time for a cleaning.
