Restaurants and food service businesses on septic systems face an added challenge: grease and fats that would overwhelm a septic tank’s bacterial treatment process if they entered directly. A properly sized and maintained grease trap upstream of the septic system protects the tank and drain field from fat, oil, and grease that don’t break down the way household waste does. Regular grease trap service alongside septic pumping is essential for any food service operation running on a private system, and skipping either one significantly shortens the life of the whole system.
