Frequently Asked Questions

When it comes to fully pumping and cleaning your grease trap, it costs $295.00 to pump anything up to 1000 gallons and $350.00 to pump a 1250-gallon tank.

To ensure no FOG or waste is released into local sewers or POTWs, the Department of Health recommends having your grease trap pumped and cleaned every 4 to 6 months.

There is no difference between the two. A grease interceptor is just an industry term for a grease trap.

Grease traps are needed to stop fats, oils, and grease (FOG) from getting out to the sewer and/or leach field.

Grease trap size very much depends on the type of business. For example, a coffee shop could be fine with a 50-gallon trap under the sink whereas a restaurant that serves food and washes a lot of dishes would likely need a 1000 to 2000-gallon trap.

Yes. While grease traps can collect FOG before it can get to the sewer, their ability to do so diminishes the fuller they get. Grease can also cause substantial clogs in the plumbing from time to time, resulting in potential damages and backups. Clogs can be removed via jetting, but it would be at an additional cost.
