Catch basins were installed on residential homes in Chicago nearly 50 years ago, they were installed to manage kitchen waste more effectively.

These systems were carefully designed to redirect kitchen grease into a catch basin, where it can cool and solidify, keeping it from entering the sewer system directly and lowering the risk of sewer backups. Even today, many of these plumbing systems are still in use, and Rescue Plumbing regularly services them!
