Grease traps are essential in keeping your community’s sewer system functioning. When too much grease and oil get into the system, it can cause clogs and backups, sometimes causing sewers to overflow. The untreated water can then enter public waters or flood local streets or homes, leading to unsanitary conditions.

How can you help prevent this?

It’s not only large buildings or corporations that use grease traps. Many homeowners use them as well. The trap works to collect the grease while allowing the rest of the water to flow smoothly through the system. In order to continue working efficiently, grease traps must be cleaned out periodically. Neglecting to do this can contribute to an abundance of grease entering the sewer system and creating blockage.

The result of untreated sewer water spilling into lakes or rivers or flooding neighborhoods can be horrific. If it’s been awhile since the last time your grease trap was cleaned out, please don’t put it off any longer!
