Properly maintained grease control device is key to avoiding grease clogged pipe backups
A properly sized and maintained grease control device works as a filter to remove fats, oil, and grease from your wastewater discharge. Filtering is necessary to prevent your fats, oil, and grease from reaching your on-site plumbing lines and the District’s sanitary sewer system. Without filtering and proper maintenance; fats, oil, and grease can result in restricting pipeline flow and/or premature pipeline deterioration that can cause sewage to backup into your restaurant, and create foul odors.
