What is Grease Trap Cleaning?
Grease trap cleaning is the removal of fats, oils and grease (FOG) that accumulates in your grease trap system. Grease traps (also known as grease interceptors) are plumbing devices installed in commercial kitchens to catch FOG from wastewater, to prevent pipe blockages and sewer overflows. By cleaning your grease traps regularly you keep your kitchen drains clear and your drainage system running smoothly.
How often should you clean your grease trap?
To run at optimal performance you need to follow regular grease trap maintenance schedules. For high usage establishments grease trap cleaning should be done every 1-3 months and for moderate use every 3-6 months. Factors that influence cleaning frequency are the size of the trap, volume of FOG generated and type of food service establishment.
