Why grease trap is required?

The purpose of a grease trap is to collect and therefore reduce the amount of fats, oils and greases (FOG's) that enter the main sewers. Grease entering the main sewer system will over time create blockages, foul odours and pest infestation.

How do I know when my grease trap is full?

Why does a grease trap need to be cleaned regularly?
