We provide scheduled maintenance to help you avoid costly fines, odors, and plumbing issues.

Indoor vs. Outdoor Grease Traps

Smaller, indoor grease traps—like the one shown here—are common but often ineffective at keeping fats, oils, and grease (FOG) out of sewer lines. They also tend to require more frequent service, can be hard to access, and may contribute to unpleasant odors.

Outdoor grease traps, on the other hand, typically offer:

  • Larger capacity (10 to 1,000+ gallons)

  • More reliable grease separation

  • Lower maintenance frequency

  • Improved long-term cost-effectiveness

If your business currently relies on a small interior trap, we strongly recommend upgrading to a larger, exterior grease interceptor for better performance and code compliance.

Who Needs a Grease Trap?

According to municipal codes, any facility that discharges grease, oil, wax, or fat into the sewer system is required to have a properly sized and maintained grease trap. This includes:

  • Restaurants & Cafeterias

  • Hotels & Motels

  • Schools & Hospitals

  • Bakeries & Supermarkets

  • Commercial Food Processors

  • Clubs, Factories, and Institutional Kitchens

Why Grease Trap Maintenance Matters

Poorly maintained grease traps can lead to:

  • Clogged sewer lines

  • Damage to municipal pump stations

  • Costly repairs for local sanitary systems

  • Fines and citations from city or county authorities

  • Revoked food service permits in severe cases

Municipalities track grease build-up back to its source. If your business is found to be the cause, and you fail to resolve the issue, you may face financial penalties and legal action.
