Our technicians will thoroughly inspect your entire system to make sure all components are working properly. This will include uncovering both ends of the tank, inlet and outlet. After both ends are uncovered the technicians will inspect the baffles and make sure they are in place, unclogged, and up to code. Before leaving the job the technicians will have you run water from all sources to ensure drains are functioning properly.

GREASE TRAPS
Keeping grease traps pumped and cleaned is not only required, but essential to the proper functioning of your septic system. Most cities and counties require that a grease trap be pumped at least every three months.
Large amounts of grease in the waste water can cause sewer lines to clog, sewer lift station failures, wastewater treatment plant problems and environmental concerns. Grease will build from the top down in the sewer line while heavier debris may collect on the bottom as the wastewater flows through the sewer line.
The grease continues to build restricting the flow of wastewater. Sometimes these layers break off and create a plug downstream. Eventually, grease will form a total blockage in the sewer line.
Grease is one waste
that the sewer system cannot handle and therefore needs to be kept
out of the system.

To be effective, grease traps must be cleaned out regularly and the contents completely removed. The frequency of cleaning the grease trap and pumping out grease and solids will depend on the nature and volume of the wastewater. The technicians at North Georgia Environmental Services are able to examine your system and will also work with you to determine how often your grease trap should be serviced.
Along with pumping we also recommend installing a filter on your tank. The filter is installed in the grease trap in place of the standard outlet baffle. It is intended to prevent most grease and food products from leaving the grease trap. The filter cartridge must be serviced regularly; if not serviced it will continue to stop the outflow of grease but will eventually shut down the flow of effluent from the tank. Most health departments suggest the filter be cleaned monthly.
