If your business generates grease-laden wastewater, you’re required by law to install grease traps/interceptors. The unit and installation must abide by local regulations. It sounds like a lot of work, but it’s something that our licensed and insured technicians do on a near-daily basis.
We have installed grease traps for businesses across the city. Our technicians are familiar with local codes and regulations and understand the needs of Chesapeake business owners. They can replace or upgrade existing units, install new ones, and help you choose the most suitable grease trap.
Mr. Rooter® technicians will also connect your grease trap to existing systems and ensure the setup allows for easy maintenance access in the future.
Why You Need to Maintain Your Grease Trap
A properly installed grease trap will prevent major plumbing blockages while ensuring you abide by local laws and regulations. But it’s not something you can simply install and then forget about. It needs regular and proper maintenance, and that’s where we come in.
We offer a scheduled restaurant grease trap service to regularly check, clean, and maintain heavy-duty grease traps in busy kitchens. If your grease trap isn’t used all that often, we may recommend less frequent visits, but we can still keep it clean and operational.
Not only will you have fewer blockages and issues, but you’ll also reduce foul odors, extend the lifespan of your unit, and stay compliant with regulations.
Which Businesses Need Grease Traps?
Any business that exposes grease-laden wastewater to the sewer system must install a grease trap. Restaurants and cafes are at the top of the list. Grease traps are essential for busy kitchens, and they should also be checked and serviced regularly.
Even if cooking/serving food isn’t the primary function of your business, you may still need a grease trap. For that reason, hotels, schools, and other facilities should call us for grease trap installation.
