What Is a Grease Trap?

A grease trap is a plumbing device designed to prevent grease, fats, and solid waste from entering the sewer system. Installed in commercial kitchens, it captures grease and food particles before they can cause blockages and backups.

Without a grease trap, grease buildup can:

  • Clog drains and pipes, leading to slow drainage and plumbing failures.
  • Cause foul odors and unsanitary kitchen conditions.
  • Result in regulatory fines for non-compliance with municipal grease disposal laws.

A properly installed and maintained grease trap helps protect your plumbing system and keeps your business running smoothly.

How to Maintain a Grease Trap

Once a grease trap is installed, routine maintenance is essential to ensure peak performance and prevent overflow issues. Follow these best practices:

  • Clean & Empty the Trap Regularly – Grease traps should be emptied before they reach capacity to avoid clogs and odors.
  • Scrape Food Waste Off Plates – Reduce the amount of solids entering the trap by scraping excess food into the trash.
  • Use Hot Water & Grease-Breaking Detergents – Helps prevent buildup and keeps the trap working efficiently.
  • Schedule Professional Maintenance – Routine inspections ensure your grease trap is functioning properly and compliant with local regulations.

An overflowing grease trap can lead to serious health hazards and business disruptions. If your trap is full, clogged, or malfunctioning, Atherton Plumbing provides professional grease trap cleaning and maintenance.

Benefits of Installing a Grease Trap

Installing a grease trap offers several long-term advantages for businesses that handle food preparation:

  • Prevents Clogged Drains & Plumbing Repairs – Keeps grease, fats, and solids out of the sewer system, reducing costly repairs.
  • Eliminates Unpleasant Odors – Stops rotting grease from accumulating in pipes.
  • Ensures Regulatory Compliance – Helps businesses meet local plumbing and sanitation codes.
  • Corrosion-Resistant & Long-Lasting – Modern grease traps are durable, cost-effective, and built for longevity.
  • Reduces Business Downtime – Avoids plumbing emergencies that can disrupt daily operations.

If your business lacks a grease trap or needs a replacement, now is the time to install an upgraded system for better efficiency and compliance.

Placed the service call to have my pedestal sink leak resolved. While Luke was here, I had him hook up the Omigo seat and replace the strainers in my sink with ones that fit properly. I spent more than I had anticipated but I'm super happy to have these issues resolved. BTW Luke was clear about the pricing so there were no suprises. Been a long time happy and loyal Atherton customer as they redid most of the plumbing in 2022.

Had to have a toilet replaced. Excellent and quick service- they were at my house in a few hours to provide a detailed estimate, and the next day to install. Did not try to push me into a getting a new toilet. Instead, they walked me through and provided a bid for my 3 options so I could make an informed decision. High quality materials (I did a comparison of product at big box stores) were used. Would definitely recommend to friends and neighbors. Macen and Dillion were great! EDIT- needed a kitchen drain unclogged and called Atherton again. Ryan showed up and took care of it. He did not try to oversell me on something he assessed that I probably didn’t need given my issue, which is key for me. He explained what he would be doing and also took the time to explain that it is usually dish soap that causes sludge build up over time and to use a vinegar water solution every so often to break down the soap residue. 90 day guarantee- so if the drain clog comes back within that time, it will be taken care of. Will continue to use Atherton again for any future needs.

Had a great experience. Were we given a time of 12:00pm-3:00pm. A little after 11:00am Jason called asking if I would like him to arrive earlier as he was available or at the 12:00 window given. I happily took the earlier time. Jason even gave me an estimate time of his new arrival. With the inspection, cost estimate was given with clear explanation of what was needed and the options. Jason quickly fixed the issue and ensured all work fixed the issue we were having. Understanding of my still working from home, he was quite yet efficient. Thank you for being so great Jason!

I had them come over and cut out 2 abandoned gas pipes from my home. Tech was good, job done quickly. Im not any type of plumber, so I can't comment too much on pricing, but I was expecting to pay closer to $500 to cut 2 pipes and cap them, but it was $900. It was good work, I was just surprised it cost so much.
