Why Do You Need To Clean Your Grease Traps?
Any drain that actively filters wastewater– like drains from the kitchen sink, disposal, dishwashers, or floor drains– needs to be routinely cleaned. These materials are filtered through a grease trap, a component that intakes and filters kitchen water and sends it on to the city’s sewer system.
During this filtration process, the solid waste sinks to the bottom of the grease trap as the oils rise to the top. If the grease trap is not inspected and cleaned on a regular basis it can cause the grease and sediment to accumulate. This can stop water from flowing out, or the accumulated grease can make its way into the sewer system. (It’s an expensive process to remove oils from the wastewater, and your establishment can receive a citation because of it.)
Common Causes of Grease Trap Clogs and the Need for Cleaning
Over time, grease traps can become clogged with accumulated fats, oils, and grease, reducing their effectiveness and potentially leading to unpleasant odors, backups, and health hazards. Common causes of clogs include improper maintenance, insufficient cleaning frequency, and the excessive volume of FOG produced by the kitchen. Regular cleaning and pumping of grease traps are crucial to prevent these issues and ensure your business operates without interruption.
