Frequently Asked Questions

A few days after I’ve had my grease trap cleaned, I've looked in it and it's full, why?

Answer

The grease trap is a filter for the county sewer system and all the water from the kitchen should go there and be filtered before entering the sewer system. Most restaurants use several 1,000s of gallons of water weekly. Grease traps will be filled up to operating level in a very short time, with water.
