They weren’t invented to be cure-alls, but more of an insurance policy against the amount of food that actually does make it down the drain. If the organic matter that makes it down the grease trap is in excess, you will have an especially difficult time with keeping the drains from smelling foul.The grease in a grease trap will begin to stink up the establishment if the grease trap is not pumped when it gets filled to capacity, matter trapped in the trap begins to age, or gases begin to escape back into the kitchen area.
