What might happen if grease is dumped in a sink without an interceptor?

  1. Improved drainage

  2. Blocked pipes and potential fines

  3. Enhanced sanitation

  4. Better water flow

The correct answer is: Blocked pipes and potential fines

When grease is dumped down a sink without an appropriate grease interceptor, it can congeal and accumulate inside the plumbing system. This accumulation leads to blocked pipes, which can cause significant drainage issues. Furthermore, if a business is found to be improperly disposing of grease, it may face potential fines from health or environmental agencies enforcing proper waste disposal regulations. These fines serve as a deterrent against behaviors that could lead to plumbing problems or environmental hazards. Proper disposal methods, including the use of grease interceptors, are essential for maintaining effective drainage systems and preventing blockages.
