Are you pouring used cooking oil down your drain? Doing this can be harmful to your piping. This can become especially challenging for restaurants that may be disposing of too much grease on a daily basis.

A grease trap is used to trap grease, oils, and other fats that are left over after cooking. Although it's not required by law to have a grease trap installed in your home. It's only required for all commercial kitchens that produce wastewater containing fat, oils, and grease.
However, it's recommended that homeowners use one in their kitchen because it will help to keep the plumbing from clogging and reduce the risk of a backup that could cause serious damage to your home.
If you have a restaurant, or if you live in an apartment building with a large number of tenants, then you probably need one. However, if you have only one or two people living in your home, it is not necessary to have a grease trap installed.
Grease traps are designed to catch grease before it gets into your pipes and makes a mess in your kitchen or bathroom. If you have one in place, then you won't have to worry about clogs or other issues with your plumbing system as often because there will be less grease build-up over time due to its removal by the trap itself.
If you are living in an apartment building or running a restaurant where there is a high volume of wastewater flowing through the system, then it may be necessary to pump out your grease trap every few weeks to every few months depending on how often it gets used at each location respectively. However, it is ideal to have your grease trap pumped and cleaned every 1 to 3 months.
