Fat Oil & Grease
Compliance
A leading cause of sewer blockages is the accumulation of fats, oils and grease (FOG) from food service establishments and industrial wastewater discharges. Atherton Plumbing specializes in helping restaurants and cafeterias with well-maintained grease traps and compliance issues.
Good for the environment.
Great for your business.
Whether from food prep, dishwashing or floor and filter cleaning, once in the pipes FOG blockages can cause overflows into local waterways and backups into nearby properties. A service call costs the City of Dayton at least $2,000 to respond; more if the blockage causes an overflow or discharges into the environment. Costs which lead right back to you.

Grease Traps
Atherton Plumbing Installs and Maintains Grease Traps.
Typically constructed of concrete, fiberglass or steel, grease traps have FOG and solid storage capacities. Also called ‘grease interceptors’ or ‘gravity interceptors’, FOG and food solids that get into your drain system will settle on the tank floor. As more waste water enters the tank, the grease-free water is pushed into the cleaner secondary tank, leaving the grease buildup in the primary tank to be pumped out.
