Does my Business's Grease Trap Need Cleaning?

What is a Grease Trap?

A grease trap is an interceptor, or a plumbing device that catches and collects grease, fat, and other solids before they enter your septic tank or wastewater system.  Restaurants and commercial businesses often have grease traps that need to be frequently cleaned, but are often overlooked. 



Why Should I Clean my Grease Trap?

Would you rather prevent damage or repair damage? Regular grease trap maintenance is the key to avoiding potential problems. A neglected grease trap can be very dangerous for your business. 

  • Grease is very flammable, and grease fires are not easy to contain. A clogged grease trap is a very serious fire hazard. 
  • Dirty or clogged grease traps can compromise your water system. Improper cleaning of utensils, dishes, and food poses a serious health risk to your customers and employees. 
  • A damaged grease trap can cost you up to $8,000. Repairing a damaged trap or cleaning a clogged one can save you thousands. 
  • A grease trap that is not regularly clean and pumped will begin to smell!
