Grease traps can protect your drains and prevent sewer backups, but only if you clean them regularly. Depending on your business, your grease trap may need weekly, monthly, or quarterly cleaning. It might seem like a hassle, but it will save you a lot of money and problems in the long term.
At Mr. Rooter® Plumbing, we can install and clean grease traps while conducting regular maintenance, helping you to avoid costly repairs resulting from plumbing emergencies while ensuring you stay compliant.
What is a Grease Trap and Why Does Your Business Need One?
Grease traps separate fats, oils, and grease (FOGs) from the water before it flows into the sewer. These devices use two chambers, with grease captured in the first chamber where it solidifies, floats to the top, and allows water to flow into the second chamber.
Used in restaurants, shopping centers, bakeries, schools, and anywhere else that makes and serves food, grease traps stop FOGs entering the sewer system, thus preventing clogs. They don’t just protect the business’s plumbing, they are also required in commercial kitchens and food service businesses across Virginia Beach and most other regions.
