Is Your Grease Trap Due?
Signs Your Grease Trap Needs Service
Most municipalities use the same trigger point. Once grease and solids build up to about 25% of the trap’s depth, it needs to be pumped.
Slow-Draining Kitchen Sinks
Grease buildup narrows the line before it causes a full blockage.
Odor Near the Trap or Drains
A sulfur or rotten smell usually means the trap is overdue for cleaning.
Grease or Solids Visible at the Surface
If you can see it without opening the lid, it’s likely well past due.
It's Been Longer Than Your Last Service Interval
Many under-sink traps need monthly attention, and larger interceptors are often serviced every 30 to 90 days depending on volume.

Frequently Asked Questions
Grease Trap FAQs
How often does a grease trap need to be pumped in Connecticut?
It depends on your municipality and your kitchen’s volume. Many Connecticut towns follow the 25% rule, meaning the trap gets pumped once grease and solids reach a quarter of its total depth. Under-sink traps in busy kitchens often need monthly service, while larger interceptors are commonly serviced every 30 to 90 days.
What is the 25% rule?
It’s the industry standard trigger point for cleaning a grease trap, once the combined layer of grease and solids reaches 25% of the trap’s depth, it’s due for pumping. Waiting past that point is what allows FOG to bypass into the sewer system.
Do I need documentation for health inspections?
Most municipalities expect a service log showing when your grease trap was last pumped. We provide documentation after every visit so you have it on hand if an inspector asks.
What's the difference between a grease trap and a grease interceptor?
A grease trap is typically a smaller, under-sink unit for lower-volume kitchens. A grease interceptor is a larger, often outdoor or in-ground system built for high-volume commercial kitchens. Both need regular service, just on different schedules.
Are your technicians licensed and insured?
Yes. Every technician who services your grease trap is licensed and insured, and certified to work in both Connecticut and Westchester County, NY.
