If you own or manage a restaurant in the Mobile & Balwin County area, you know how often fat, oil, or grease (FOG) is washed down the sink—if you don’t have a grease trap or a grease abatement device, this can cause serious problems for your plumbing. As FOG cools, it hardens and accumulates on the sidewalls of pipes. Over time, this buildup will restrict the flow and cause blockages in the pipes which requires grease trap cleaning. Ultimately, this can lead to incredibly expensive plumbing repairs.
Additionally, local, state, and municipal regulations require all food service establishments to have grease traps installed and maintained. We can help you with installing a grease trap today!

Why Do You Need A Grease Trap?
There are three main reasons to install a grease trap in your restaurant:
-
Compliance with grease regulations – One of the most important reasons to schedule your grease trap installation is to comply with local, state, and federal regulations. The Alabama Onsite Wastewater Board (AOWB) requires all food service establishments to have a grease trap installed. This is to reduce and eliminate sanitary sewer overflows by preventing backups in the pipes.
-
Plumbing Maintenance – if the grease builds up in your drains and pipes, it can eventually lead to a backup. This will require cleaning or possibly plumbing repair and/or replacement down the road, depending on the severity of the blockage.
-
Safety – As the grease builds up in the pipes, it can lead to blockages in the sewer collection system, pumping stations, and wastewater treatment plants. As a result, when these backups occur, they can lead to overflow from manholes, sewers, and more. Thus, causing health and safety concerns for area residents. All these issues lead to the need of emergency sewer line services.
