What is Grease Trap Cleaning?
Grease trap cleaning involves removing fats, oils, and greases (FOG) that accumulate in your grease trap system. Grease traps, also known as grease interceptors, are plumbing devices installed in commercial kitchens to catch FOG from wastewater, preventing pipe blockages and sewer overflows. Regular cleaning keeps your kitchen drains clear and your drainage system operating smoothly.
How Often Should You Clean Your Grease Trap?
To maintain the effectiveness of your grease trap, follow a maintenance schedule. For high-usage establishments, grease trap cleaning should be performed every 1-3 months. For moderate usage, cleanings every 3-6 months are recommended. The cleaning frequency depends on the trap’s size, the volume of FOG produced, and the type of food service.
