⚙️ How Your Grease Trap Works

Every commercial grease trap, regardless of size, operates on the same principle.

When wastewater from your kitchen drains through the system, it carries fats, oils, and grease (FOG) into a two-chamber reservoir.

1. Inside the tank, FOG cools, solidifies, and rises to the top.

2. Baffles hold the grease in place, keeping it from reaching the discharge pipe.

3. Clean water exits through an outlet pipe located midway up the tank.

This design keeps your plumbing system safe and prevents grease buildup from entering the city sewer.

🧼 Grease Trap Cleaning & Liquid Waste Removal

Over time, grease traps naturally fill up — and when they reach capacity, FOG can overflow into your plumbing and the public sewer system.

To prevent this, Atlanta and most U.S. cities require grease traps to be pumped at 30% full.

Keeping your system clean offers major benefits:

✅ Prevents foul odors and kitchen smells
✅ Protects your restaurant’s reputation
✅ Keeps employees comfortable and safe
✅ Avoids fines and shutdowns from city inspections
✅ Ensures environmental compliance

If city inspectors find your grease trap over capacity, you may face fines or even temporary closure until a licensed company performs proper cleaning.

Don’t take that risk — avoid letting employees or generic cleaning companies handle the job. They often lack the right tools and may not dispose of grease legally or safely.
