If you\u2019re in the food service industry, you already know how important it is to properly manage fats, oils, and grease (FOG). Grease traps and interceptors go beyond cleanliness; city ordinances and health departments require them.<\/p>\n

At HomeField Onsite Environmental, we specialize in helping commercial kitchens and restaurants stay in compliance and running smoothly with regular grease trap and interceptor service.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the Difference Between a Grease Trap and a Grease Interceptor?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A grease trap<\/strong> is typically located inside the kitchen, usually under a sink. These are small, manually cleaned boxes that need to be serviced often. Unlike traps, grease interceptors<\/strong> are much larger and sit outside. These are buried in the ground and are designed to slow the flow of water enough to let FOG rise and solids settle, keeping the sewer system clear.<\/p>\n

No matter which one you have, both need regular pumping and cleaning to avoid costly backups, odors, or even health code<\/a> violations.<\/p>\n
