How Grease Traps Work
A grease trap or inceptor cools warm or hot fat, grease, and oil (FOG) and separates different layers of waste from water. FOG floats to the top and it's trapped by the grease trap. Solids sink allowing water to flow through to the city sewer system. While grease traps filter residual FOG materials that enter wastewater through normal kitchen operations, it’s still important not to pour grease directly down the drain. Scheduling a FOG assessment.is one step to keep your grease traps in working order.

Why Are Grease Traps Important?

Grease Trap FAQs
A drain in a commercial kitchen needs to be able to accept the trap and the related components. You also need a connection to the local sewer system to remove the wastewater that passes through the interceptor. If any permits are required, we'll take care of that as well.
Replacement is normally necessary when it shows signs of significant damage or when repairs are more frequent. Replacement is also recommended if you have serious structural issues, leaks, frequent overflows, or if the trap is excessively old.
For a grease trap to properly function the inceptor should be emptied when the sludge level reaches 25% of the tank level. On average, grease trap maintenance should be performed every one to three months.
It varies based on what's made in the kitchen and how busy the establishment is regularly. Naturally, a kitchen that's in a less busy part of town or one that only makes certain foods that aren't too greasy is going to need less frequent cleaning than a busy establishment that makes burgers and fries.
Encourage your staff to place grease in separate containers. Additionally, scrape all food waste from plates, utensils, pots, and pans before loading them into the sink for washing.
