Commercial — Grease Trap Installation

Grease Trap Installation — Blimpie, Marietta

A commercial grease-trap (grease interceptor) installation for a Blimpie restaurant in Marietta, Georgia. Working inside an occupied retail space, our crew built dust-containment, saw-cut and removed the interior slab, hand-excavated for the two-compartment interceptor, rerouted the under-slab drain lines, set the tank on a leveled gravel base, and restored the concrete floor flush around the access lids — hauling every bit of spoil off-site.

Inside the restaurant, our tech breaks and grades the subsoil by hand after saw-cutting the floor slab — dust-containment sheeting and air movers keep the rest of the space clean.
Excavation through a saw-cut concrete restaurant floor for a grease interceptor
The opening cut cleanly through the existing slab and dug out to depth — careful interior excavation in tight quarters with hand tools.
Two-compartment grease interceptor access lids set in a gravel bed
The grease interceptor's two access risers, set and surrounded with clean stone — the heart of a code-compliant commercial grease trap.
Deep interior excavation with a leveled gravel base ready for a grease trap
Excavation taken to grade with a leveled, compacted gravel base — the bedding the interceptor sits on so it stays level and supported.
Interior slab demolition with a Makita breaker during a commercial grease trap job
Breaking out the old interior slab. A demolition breaker and steady hand work open the floor without disturbing the rest of the dining room.
Rerouted under-slab PVC drain lines for a commercial kitchen grease trap
Under-slab drain lines re-plumbed in new PVC and tied into the interceptor — the kitchen's waste now routes through the grease trap as required.
New under-slab PVC stub-ups and rerouted plumbing for a grease interceptor
Fresh PVC stub-ups and rerouted runs laid in the trench, ready to be tied in and backfilled.
Fresh concrete patch poured over a plumbing trench at a doorway threshold
The trench across the entry threshold patched back in fresh concrete — we restore what we open up so the floor is solid and walkable again.
Dump trailer loaded with excavated red clay spoil from an interior grease trap dig
Every bit of excavated clay hauled off in our dump trailer — we leave the job site clean, not buried in spoil.
Finished concrete floor with grease interceptor access lids set flush
The finished floor: interceptor access lids set flush in fresh concrete, ready for service and easy future pump-outs.
Concrete trench patch with a flush cleanout in a restaurant back-of-house
A back-of-house trench restored in concrete with a flush cleanout left accessible for maintenance.
Tight back-of-house excavation near a three-compartment sink for grease trap plumbing
Working the tight run behind the three-compartment sink — the kind of close-quarters commercial plumbing these jobs demand.
Residential — Drain Field Replacement

Drain Field Replacement — Dacula

A full residential drain-field (leach-field) replacement on a wooded, sloping lot in Dacula, Georgia. Our crew trenched new field lines into the heavy Georgia red clay, set chamber-style leaching units, and tied them together with PVC distribution piping so effluent spreads evenly across the field — a complete replacement that gets a failing system draining properly again.

A fresh field-line trench with new PVC distribution piping and a wye splitting flow — the start of evenly distributing effluent across the new field.
Chamber-style leaching unit and vertical PVC inspection standpipe in a drain field trench
A chamber leaching unit set in the trench with a vertical inspection standpipe — the chambers create the void space that lets effluent soak into the soil.
Parallel chamber drain field trench runs connected by PVC distribution lines
Multiple parallel chamber runs tied together with distribution piping — spreading the load across several lines so no single trench is overworked.

Commercial — Lift Station Repair

Lift Station Repair — Car Wash, Tucker

A confined-space lift station repair at a car wash in Tucker, Georgia. A lift station is a below-grade wet well that collects wastewater and pumps it up to the sewer or drain field. Entering one safely is serious work — our crew suits up in Tyvek and fall-protection harnesses, rigs a tripod hoist with a retrieval line and forced-air ventilation over the manhole, then goes down to service the submersible pump and float controls in the well. Safety rigging first, repair second.

Gearing up: a fall-protection harness goes on over the Tyvek suit before anyone enters the well. Confined-space entry is done by the book, every time.

The Metro Atlanta Septic Health Checklist

8 things every Metro Atlanta homeowner should know

🚿 Pump every 3–5 years

Regular pumping removes solids before they reach your drain field — most homes need service every 3 to 5 years.

🚫 Never flush wipes or grease

“Flushable” wipes don't break down and grease coats your tank — both accelerate failure fast.

💧 Spread out water usage

Back-to-back showers, laundry, and dishwasher cycles can overwhelm the system. Space them out.

🌿 Keep roots away

Tree and shrub roots seek out moisture and invade tanks and lines — a leading cause of repairs.

🚗 Keep traffic off the field

Don't park or drive over the drain field — compaction crushes lines and ruins percolation.

👁 Watch for early signs

Slow drains, odors, or lush green patches in the yard are early warnings — don't ignore them.

📋 Keep your records

Save pumping and repair records — they help at resale and speed up any future diagnosis.

📞 Call at the first symptom

Catching problems early in Metro Atlanta almost always means a cheaper, simpler fix.
