Why It Matters
Grease traps slow down the flow of water coming from drains, allowing the water/grease time to cool. This cooling causes the grease to coagulate and float to the top, while other, heavier solids, fall to the bottom of the trap. The remaining water is free to pass through on to the city sewer lines. As those solids build, they eventually need to be pumped, properly disposed of, and inspected.
Keeping your grease trap clean and properly maintained is crucial for its function. You can avoid issues like drain line blockage and backups, foul odors, or depositing excessive amounts of grease into the sewer lines by keeping the levels of grease and solids low. You can also prevent main line backups and large fines from the city with regular cleanings.
Grease Trap Maintenance And Cost
How often your grease trap needs to be cleaned will depend on the size of the trap. Usually most local or state governments will have set ordinances for businesses to follow. If not, however, PowerVac will do an inspection of your facility, and help develop a long-term schedule for you. This helps ensure that your operation continues to run as clean and efficient as possible.
Also, there is more to grease trap cleaning servicing to be considered beyond the mandated pump-outs from local ordinances.
Several restaurants and kitchens have smaller grease traps, and may consider cleaning them manually with a maintenance staff. While this can work, it os often risky to dispose of grease trap solids unless done so properly, then inspected afterwards.
Most restaurants with larger grease traps will typically employ the services of a professional recycler/hauler to pump-out and maintain the grease trap. PowerVac, however, encourages smaller restaurants to do the same to ensure that they are always meeting their FOG requirements!
