At its core, a grease trap is a container that kitchen wastewater passes through prior to entering the sanitary sewer lines. Its purpose is to catch and contain grease - or animal fats and vegetable oils - through a process called gravity separation. Due to the fact that grease is lighter than water, it floats to the top and creates a distinct layer. The trapped grease is held within the trap using a series of baffles, while clean water is released from the bottom and enters the sewer line. Over time, as more and more grease accumulates, a visible "mat" forms on the surface of the grease trap. Once this layer becomes significant, it's time to clean the trap.
​
Pouring fats, oils, or grease (FOGs) down your sink or floor drain can wreak havoc on your plumbing system. FOGs have a tendency to solidify in pipes, pumps, and other equipment, restricting wastewater flow and eventually causing backups. You may be wondering about the difference between grease traps and grease interceptors. In reality, both serve the same purpose: separating and retaining free-floating oils and greases. Smaller, prefabricated steel units that are placed under sinks or in floors are typically known as grease traps. Meanwhile, larger units located outdoors, known as grease interceptors, offer longer hydraulic retention times. To keep your plumbing system functioning properly, it's important to properly maintain both types of units.
