Miller’s Septic Company Tank Cleaning particles before they reach your municipal sewer system. There they can coalesce into massive congealed masses called “fatbergs” that clog lines, leading to wastewater backups and overflows. In addition to costing time and money, a sewer blockage or backup can cause odors, attract pests and disrupt business operations.

Your local health department requires restaurants to have their grease traps pumped out and cleaned regularly. This helps to prevent a buildup of unwanted FOG in the sewer system, which can contaminate food and water supplies and create foul odors. FOG can also corrode drain pipes and affect the functioning of the plumbing systems in your restaurant.

Trusted Septic Services Experts: What Homeowners Should Know

Most grease traps are located on a restaurant’s property, often outdoors near kitchen fixtures and sometimes in the basement or under sinks. Some grease traps are big, 500-gallon concrete vessels that are buried in the backyard, while others are smaller portable tanks or baffled trays located inside the restaurant. The larger sized traps require professional equipment to clean and can only be emptied by a licensed truck-mounted pumper. Smaller individual grease traps can be cleaned by restaurant staff with the right equipment and following proper procedure.

How Insulation Affects Indoor Air
Most people don’t think of spray foam insulation as a contributor to their home’s indoor air quality (IAQ). After all, it’s stuffed inside walls and behind drywall, out of sight and out of mind. But like many finishes and furnishings, insulation can support or degrade your home’s IAQ. The type and installation of your insulation plays a big role in how your house feels, how much energy it uses, and how healthy its occupants are.

Traditional fiberglass Apex Insulation Solutions is a thermal barrier that inhibits the flow of heat between the exterior and interior of your home’s building envelope. It’s affordable, easy to install, and provides consistent temperatures throughout the year. But it also off-gases VOCs and encourages mold growth if it becomes wet, which can negatively impact IAQ.

Other blown-in or poured insulation products like polyurethane foam, extruded polystyrene (XPS), and phenol foam are designed to meet strict IAQ requirements while offering superior performance. However, these products are typically made with chemicals like isocyanate (MDI or TDI), polyols, flame retardants, and catalysts that off-gas VOCs and cause health risks for installers and homeowners.

Smart Ways to Insulate the Attic Without Sacrificing Room

Other options, such as mineral wool or ThermaCork expanded cork, offer IAQ benefits that go beyond thermal efficiency. These materials are moisture-repellent and naturally fire-resistant, allowing them to reduce airflow, and they don’t off-gas harmful chemicals or create dust. They’re ideal for homes in Burlington, Mount Vernon, Sedro-Woolley, and other parts of Skagit County where moisture can wreak havoc on home health.
