What Business Owners Need to Know About Grease Traps

Food service establishments need grease-control equipment sized and installed for the volume and type of wastewater produced by the kitchen. In Louisville, MSD requires qualifying food service establishments to use grease traps or interceptors to prevent fats, oils, and grease from entering the sewer system.

Failure to maintain required grease-control equipment creates compliance concerns and increases the risk of clogged drains, sewer backups, and interrupted kitchen operations. Louisville businesses must follow MSD requirements, while Southern Indiana establishments must meet the rules of their applicable local sewer or utility authority.

Industries We Serve

Grease trap and interceptor installation supports businesses throughout the food service industry, including:

• Restaurants, bars, and quick-service establishments
• Hotels, schools, hospitals, and cafeterias
• Bakeries, caterers, commissaries, and food-production facilities
• Mobile and specialty food service operations

Equipment selection depends on the kitchen layout, fixtures, wastewater flow, and local requirements. Greenwell plans installations around the needs of each facility instead of treating every commercial kitchen the same.

Our Grease Trap Installation Services

New Installation & Replacement

Greenwell installs grease traps and interceptors for new commercial kitchens, renovations, expansions, and replacement projects. Our plumbers assess the site, review fixture and flow requirements, determine equipment placement, and install the system for the applicable local requirements.

The process includes coordinating required permitting and inspections, completing plumbing connections, testing the installed equipment, and preparing the system for operation.

Emergency Repair & Maintenance

A leaking, overflowing, or failed grease-control system can disrupt kitchen operations and require immediate attention. Greenwell handles grease trap and interceptor problems as part of our commercial emergency plumbing work throughout Louisville and Southern Indiana.

Companies dealing with grease-related drainage problems can use our business drain cleaning services to address affected commercial drain lines. For urgent plumbing failures outside normal business hours, Greenwell offers emergency plumbing services for businesses.

Louisville & Southern Indiana MSD & Local Code Requirements

Louisville food service establishments must follow MSD requirements for grease-control equipment. Grease traps and interceptors require proper sizing, installation, access, and ongoing cleaning or pumping. Louisville MSD uses specific maintenance requirements for traps and the 25 Percent Rule for interceptor pump-outs.

Southern Indiana businesses follow requirements established by their applicable local sewer or utility authority. Greenwell plans each installation around the jurisdiction and facility rather than applying Louisville requirements across the entire Kentuckiana service region.

Commercial facilities with additional water-system compliance needs can also schedule backflow testing.
