If you operate a restaurant, commercial kitchen, or any food service business, your grease trap is one of the most important plumbing components you manage — and one of the most commonly neglected. A full or failing grease trap creates sewage backups, generates foul odors, risks health code violations, and can result in fines or temporary closure. Barnett Plumbing provides professional grease trap cleaning and maintenance for food service operations throughout Marietta and North Atlanta.
A grease trap (or grease interceptor) is a plumbing device that captures fats, oils, and grease (FOG) from kitchen wastewater before it reaches the sewer line. FOG is the enemy of drain systems — it cools as it travels through pipes and solidifies, accumulating on pipe walls and eventually causing blockages.
The City of Marietta and surrounding county sewer ordinances require restaurants and food service establishments to maintain properly functioning grease traps and to have them cleaned on a regular schedule. Your local jurisdiction may also require cleaning frequency documentation and manifests from licensed waste haulers.
As a general guideline, the “25% rule” suggests cleaning when the combined depth of grease and solids reaches 25% of the trap’s total liquid depth. For high-volume kitchens, that might mean monthly cleaning; for lower-volume operations, quarterly may be sufficient.
Cleaning & Pumping. We thoroughly clean the trap, removing accumulated grease, solids, and effluent. We provide waste disposal manifests for your records, which you may need for health department inspections.
Inspection. We check the condition of the trap components, including baffles, lids, and inlet/outlet connections, and report any issues that need repair.
Repair. Cracked lids, failed baffles, and damaged inlet/outlet connections all affect trap performance. We make the necessary repairs to keep your trap functioning properly.
Scheduled Maintenance Programs. We offer recurring grease trap cleaning on a schedule tailored to your volume and local requirements — so you never fall out of compliance.
Barnett Plumbing serves restaurants, institutional kitchens, and food service businesses throughout Marietta, Kennesaw, Marietta, Sandy Springs, and surrounding communities. To schedule grease trap cleaning or set up a maintenance program, call (678) 437-1234.
