“Did you know? Neglected grease traps lose 50% of their separation efficiency within weeks, allowing grease into sewer systems and causing violations.”
The Importance of Regular Cleaning
Grease Trap Cleaning removes accumulated fats, oils, and grease before they reduce trap capacity and effectiveness. Without regular service, grease solidifies, restricts flow, and eventually causes system failure and expensive emergency repairs.
Proper Cleaning Procedures
Complete Pump-Out removes all contents including floating grease layer, wastewater, and settled solids from the trap.
Scraping and Scrubbing cleans trap walls, baffles, and internal components to remove stuck-on grease and restore full capacity.
Component Inspection identifies worn gaskets, damaged baffles, or other issues requiring repair during cleaning visits.
“Pro Tip: Schedule grease trap cleaning before the trap reaches 25% capacity—waiting until it’s fuller reduces efficiency and increases overflow risk.”
