Grease traps help commercial kitchen drainage systems function properly as well as protect the plumbing system for a restaurant or other commercial space. To make sure your grease trap is in good condition and doing its job, it’s important to prioritize its maintenance and upkeep. Here are three of the top tips for maintaining commercial grease traps.
- Be Mindful: Grease traps are meant to trap grease and food particles, but just because they help prevent certain waste from going into the drainage system does not mean that anything can go down there. For example, boiling water can help liquify grease and cause it to get into the plumbing system, so you should never allow boiling water to get into your grease trap.
- Consult Professionals: Sometimes, restauranters or other commercial space owners pour cleaning solvents or enzymes into their grease traps to clean them. Unfortunately, these products can make it easier for grease to escape into the plumbing system. For the best possible care, consult our team for grease trap cleaning.
- Be Consistent With Maintenance: It’s a good idea to have our team look at your grease trap from time to time to make sure it is working correctly and it’s clean. Our trained team knows what to look for to make sure your grease trap is in good condition.
