About Commercial Grease Trap Cleaning Services
Restaurants produce large quantities of fats, oils and grease (FOG) that should be disposed of properly to avoid kitchen flooding, clogs and other costly problems. Depending on the size of your kitchen and type of FOG waste, you may need to have your grease traps cleaned every one to three months.
Miller’s Septic Tank Cleaning particles before they reach your municipal sewer system. There they can coalesce into massive congealed masses called “fatbergs” that clog lines, leading to wastewater backups and overflows. In addition to costing time and money, a sewer blockage or backup can cause odors, attract pests and disrupt business operations.
Septic Tank Pumping & Maintenance: How Often Should It Be Done?
Your local health department requires restaurants to have their grease traps pumped out and cleaned regularly. This helps to prevent a buildup of unwanted FOG in the sewer system, which can contaminate food and water supplies and create foul odors. FOG can also corrode drain pipes and affect the functioning of the plumbing systems in your restaurant.
Most grease traps are located on a restaurant’s property, often outdoors near kitchen fixtures and sometimes in the basement or under sinks. Some grease traps are big, 500-gallon concrete vessels that are buried in the backyard, while others are smaller portable tanks or baffled trays located inside the restaurant. The larger sized traps require professional equipment to clean and can only be emptied by a licensed truck-mounted pumper. Smaller individual grease traps can be cleaned by restaurant staff with the right equipment and following proper procedure.
