Everyone has smelled a grease trap in desperate need of cleaning. Many of you have probably worked in a commercial location with grease traps and know the rancid smell that it can give off when it is full or backed up. Grease tends to clog drains, causing major issues if the grease traps are not cleaned properly. You do not want full, rancid grease traps and a backed-up drain at your business. And furthermore, if the grease traps don’t get cleaned correctly, you could end up temporarily closed for repairs.
Getting your grease traps cleaned not only makes your business smell better and run more effectively, but it is also required by public health and safety regulations. Failing to have your grease traps properly cleaned and maintained can cause you to fail health inspections, receive fines, and can be a health and environmental risk to customers and employees. Additionally, improper care of grease traps can lead to the foul odors mentioned above, potential grease fires in your kitchens, and of course, extra costs to get your grease trap repaired and back in good, healthy, working condition.
Depending on how much your grease traps are used, you should put together a proper cleaning schedule to have them cleaned every one to three months. However, you don’t just want to scoop it out and be done with it; you need it to be properly cleaned to stay ahead of any potential damage, inspections, and odors.
