Grease traps play a vital role in the proper functioning of any commercial kitchen or food service establishment. These essential devices are designed to intercept fats, oils, and grease (often referred to as FOG) before they can enter the sewer system. Without a properly installed and maintained grease trap, FOG can accumulate in plumbing pipes, leading to clogs, backups, and potentially costly repairs. At Master Plumbing, we understand the importance of grease traps and are here to provide expert services to protect both your plumbing and the environment.

What is a Grease Trap?

A grease trap is a plumbing device that captures grease and other solids from wastewater while allowing the water to flow into the sewer system. It functions by slowing the flow of hot, greasy water, allowing the grease to cool and solidify. The solidified FOG is then contained within the trap, preventing it from clogging pipes or reaching municipal wastewater systems where it can cause significant blockages and environmental hazards.

Why are Grease Traps Essential?

For commercial kitchens and food-service businesses, grease traps aren’t just a practical addition—they are a legal requirement in many areas to comply with wastewater management regulations. Fats, oils, and grease can wreak havoc on plumbing systems when they build up over time, often resulting in unpleasant odors, drainage issues, and expensive emergency repairs. Regular maintenance of grease traps ensures that your plumbing system operates smoothly, minimizes your environmental impact, and keeps your business running without interruptions.
