A grease trap is an essential component for any plumbing system, especially in homes that frequently prepare greasy foods. Understanding how grease traps work and their importance can help homeowners maintain a clean and efficient plumbing system.
A grease trap is a plumbing device that intercepts fats, oils, and grease (FOG) before they enter the main sewer system. These substances can cause significant clogs and backups in your plumbing, leading to costly repairs. By capturing FOG, grease traps help protect your pipes and the municipal sewer system.
Proper maintenance of your grease trap is crucial. It should be cleaned regularly—typically every one to three months, depending on usage. Neglecting this maintenance can lead to blockages, unpleasant odors, and even plumbing emergencies. Signs that your grease trap needs attention include slow drains, gurgling sounds, and foul smells from your kitchen sink.
