Selected Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
We evaluate your fixture count, flow rate, cooking volume, and manufacturer code to size an interceptor that meets your usage and local regulations.
Not necessarily. Smaller traps may be under sinks, but many restaurants use outdoor or in-ground interceptors for larger flow volumes for easier maintenance access.
Cleaning frequency depends on usage and trap size — typically every 3 to 6 months for busy kitchens. Frequent monitoring prevents backups.
You may receive a notice from the health or wastewater authority, be subject to fines, and risk a sewer backup — proper installation is essential.
Our team schedules work to minimize downtime; most installations or upgrades can be done during off-hours or slow periods.
If your cooking volume and flow exceed the trap’s capacity, a small trap will fail — leading to frequent clogs. We design the correct size for your operation.
Yes — venting prevents siphoning, and overflow protection ensures waste doesn’t spill during high loads. We include these in our design.
Yes — traps differ in size, material (metal, concrete, plastic), location (indoor vs. outdoor), and complexity of drain connections, which all affect cost.
In many cases, no — local regulations typically require approved grease devices for cooking lines. Connecting without one risks backups and violations.
Yes. These devices prevent water contamination and reduce water waste, helping protect both health and the environment.
