Frequently Asked Questions

What is a grease interceptor?

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

Why are grease traps necessary?

Grease traps are required by local municipalities for all food service establishments that introduce grease or oil into the sewer system. They safeguard your sewer lines and prevent clogs, allowing you to operate without worry.

How often should you clean your grease trap?

The City of Ragland requires that indoor traps be cleaned every month and outdoor traps every quarterly. As a general rule, grease traps should be emptied when 25% of the trap’s capacity is filled with FOGS. If you notice foul odors or clogs, it may be time for a cleaning.
