What is commercial grease trap & sewer maintenance?
Grease traps and interceptors catch fats, oils and grease (FOG) from commercial kitchens before they reach the sewer. When they fill up, grease passes into the lines, hardens and causes backups. Regular pumping and line jetting keep both the trap and the sewer clear.
