There are a number of signs which could indicate your grease trap needs repair. Slow or backed-up drains, rancid odors, gurgling noises, or a slippery, oily floor with no other cause usually indicate your grease trap requires repair or cleaning. Putting off service to your restaurant's grease trap can lead to a number of problems, such as slips and falls, fines from your municipality, and even potentially deadly grease fires. Contact Mr. Rooter Plumbing for all commercial grease trap issues. Not only can we fix the problem, but we can put you on a customized maintenance schedule that prevents it from recurring.
Grease Trap Cleaning: What's Involved
Cleaning a grease trap is a multi-step process that varies depending on the type of trap and the nature of the facility. Typically, service will include emptying the trap, checking for leaks or other potential problems, and thoroughly cleaning it with a non-enzyme-based, non-acidic solution. Properly disposing of accumulated grease is another essential component of grease trap cleaning.
How Often Should I Clean My Grease Trap
How often you should clean your grease trap depends primarily on usage, but as a general rule it should be done at least every three months. Ask your local plumber to help you determine the best cleaning and maintenance schedule for your grease trap based on your usage.
