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.

SepticRooter technician hand-excavating inside a saw-cut interior slab for a commercial grease trap

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.

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.

New septic drain field trench with PVC distribution piping and a wye fitting in red clay

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.

The full field laid out across the slope below the house — several long chamber runs ready to be backfilled, replacing a failed system.

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 crew suited up in Tyvek and entry harnesses — the protective gear a wastewater wet well calls for.

The safety setup over the open manhole: a tripod hoist with a retrieval line, a forced-air blower ventilating the well, and the pump control panel — all staged before entry.

Submersible pump, float switches, and discharge piping inside a lift station wet well

Down in the wet well: the submersible pump, float switches, and discharge piping that move wastewater out of the station — the components we're there to service.

Drain Field Replacement & Driveway Cut-and-Repair — McDonough

A full drain field replacement at a residential property in McDonough, Georgia, complicated by a drain field that ran beneath the concrete driveway. Accessing it required cutting and removing sections of the driveway, excavating and replacing the failed field, then repairing and re-seaming the concrete. The finished yard was seeded and strawed for erosion control. This is the kind of job most contractors decline — it requires coordinating excavation, concrete work, and drain field engineering in sequence, with no shortcuts on any of them.
