In certain cities, restaurants can be fined thousands of dollars per day for having a damaged or improper grease trap. The reason for this is that grease or oils that find their way into the sewer system will eventually congeal and harden, causing serious clogging issues in the city’s wastewater system. Naturally, that is something you as a business owner want to avoid.
While your average residential home doesn’t typically produce anywhere near the same amount of grease as a restaurant, there is no “safe amount” of grease or oil that can be poured into a plumbing system. The very same problems that can cause a restaurant to go out of business can be found in household septic systems.
Having a functioning grease trap is very important for businesses, so because of this, it is a good practice to have it checked and cleaned regularly to ensure that it functions well.
