Septic Grease Trap Services for Lakeland, FL and the Surrounding Areas

Septic grease traps can prevent grease from entering your septic tank. When wastewater enters the septic system, it separates into liquids and solids. Grease and oil rise to the top to form “scum.” The scum layer can clog sewage pipes, but a grease trap will prevent scum from flowing into your septic system.

A septic grease trap placed between the drains and the sewage treatment pipes will trap scum created from kitchen grease, cooking oils, and bath products. Your system’s grease trap will need to be large enough to handle the scum produced by your household, and it will need to be pumped out regularly.

If your system doesn’t have a grease trap, you should never dump kitchen grease and cooking oils down the drain. Instead, be sure to collect and dispose of it. Cut down on your use of bath oils, and never dispose of petroleum-based products in the toilet or sink.
