Hydro-Mechanical Grease Interceptor Installation in Old Town

Hydro-mechanical grease interceptors, often called HGI units, are compact and designed for indoor use, usually under a sink or on the floor. These units use baffles to slow down wastewater flow, allowing grease to separate and accumulate. BKN Plumbing expertly installs various sizes of HGI units, ensuring proper venting, leveling, and connection to your drainage system in Old Town for maximum efficiency.

New Restaurant Build-Out Grease Traps in Old Town

If you are opening a new restaurant, the grease trap is often a key part of plan review. We work with your architect or contractor to size the unit and show it on plumbing plans. We then install it during rough-in so it is ready for inspection. Getting the trap right early avoids expensive changes after the slab is poured. We also coordinate with the city's pretreatment staff when they require a review.

Gravity Grease Interceptor Installation in Old Town, ME

Gravity grease interceptors, or GGI units, are larger, typically located outdoors, and rely on the natural difference in specific gravity between FOG and water. These are common for high-volume commercial kitchens. Our team handles the complex excavation, concrete work, and plumbing connections required for proper GGI installation, maintaining compliance with all local Maine ordinances for waste management.

Large Outdoor Grease Interceptor Installation in Old Town

For high-volume commercial kitchens in Old Town, large outdoor grease interceptors are often required by code. These large units are installed underground and designed to manage significant amounts of FOG before wastewater enters the municipal sewer system. We handle the entire process, including excavation, precise placement, connection, and final inspection, delivering a robust and compliant installation.

In-Ground Gravity Interceptor Installation in Old Town, ME

Larger restaurants and high-volume kitchens often need an outdoor gravity interceptor. These concrete or polyethylene tanks usually range from several hundred to over 1,500 gallons. We excavate, set the tank on a stable base, connect inlet and outlet piping and install manhole risers. Frost heave can shift soil and crack buried pipes, foundations, and outdoor plumbing during the freeze and thaw seasons. We plan excavation equipment around the ground conditions we find on site. A properly installed interceptor can go much longer between pump-outs than an indoor trap.
