What Is a Grease Trap?

A grease trap, or grease interceptor, is a plumbing device that captures fats, oils, and grease (FOG) before they enter the sewer system.

Without proper maintenance, grease accumulates and can cause:

  • Blocked drains

  • Sewer line backups

  • Foul kitchen odors

  • Plumbing damage

  • Operational interruptions

Regular grease trap pumping and cleaning keeps plumbing systems functioning efficiently and safely.
