Frequently Asked Questions
Basic Info
How to Maintain a Grease Trap
In-between the times a grease trap cleaning may be needed, you can take some steps to help ensure that your grease trap is working properly.
- Connect the Grease Trap to the Food Preparation Area, including the Dishwashing Station.
- Provide maintenance to grease trap at least every year.
- Avoid Dumping Boiling Water into the Grease Trap.
By doing these small things, you can help your grease trap to do its job. Plus, you may avoid certain issues that require additional maintenance or repair to the trap itself.
When a New Septic Tank is Needed?
One of the most common reasons is that the septic tank itself is damaged or compromised which causes the waste material inside to leak out into the ground. There are definite signs you will notice if this is happening, but it may take months before the odor and waste product reaches the surface.
Another reason is age. As with most manufactured items, septic tanks are designed to work for a pre-set period before it becomes less efficient and eventually stops working. The older the septic tank, the more likely it is to breakdown.
If a new septic tank is needed, the installation process will be a large, but manageable one. A new septic tank will not only solve all the issues that the old septic tank was no longer addressing but add greater capacity so that it can take care of those living in the home.

Service Info
What is a Septic Tank Inspection?
This is a full inspection of the septic tank that covers all areas from the drain pipes connecting the tank to the home, the tank itself along with the filter, and the drain field. The inspection is designed to check the current condition of the tank, identify any potential issues, and provide a report on its status.
From this inspection, recommendations can be made as to what needs to be addressed in terms of the entire septic system. This includes whether the septic tank needs to be drained, if there are any clogs or blockages, or if the drain field needs to be addressed. The inspection provides the homeowner or potential buyer a complete view of the septic system, so that any decisions to be made are based on its current condition.
What Happens if the Septic Tank is Not Pumped Out?
The most obvious effect of a septic tank that is not pumped out is that eventually the waste inside will form a sludge layer high enough to back up the sewage lines. This means that your septic tank will no longer perform its primary job.
When the septic tank becomes overloaded, the waste will have to go somewhere if it cannot reach the drainfield. The result is that the tank itself becomes compromised and the contents leak out into the ground. Eventually, the waste will reach the surface which creates another set of issues.
If not properly addressed, the septic tank will have to be replaced which may be an expensive proposition. It is why pumping out the septic tank when needed should be carried out by the profession
