Fat-Free Sewers

Prevent Fats, Oils and Greases from Damaging Your Home and the Environment

 

Fats, oils, and grease aren’t just bad for arteries and waistlines; they’re bad for sewers, too.
Sewer overflows and backups can cause health hazards, damage home interiors, and threaten the environment. A common cause of overflows is sewer pipes blocked by grease. Grease gets into the sewer from household drains, as well as from poorly maintained grease traps in restaurants and other businesses.

Caution: Grease traps or interceptors at restaurants, large buildings, and other commercial establishments must be properly designed to handle the amount of grease that is expected, be installed correctly, and be cleaned and serviced on a frequent basis. Read full brochure or read insert.
