Grease Trap Cleaning

Grease traps are essential components in any commercial kitchen. Without regular cleaning and maintenance, they can cease to function, leading to significant disruptions in business operations.

Grease traps play a vital role in filtering out oils and fats that inevitably enter the kitchen wastewater system. By keeping these substances from reaching the sewer pipes, grease traps prevent potentially harmful blockages. It’s crucial to remove the accumulated waste at scheduled intervals; failure to do so may result in the fat solidifying and obstructing water flow.

This can lead to completely clogged drains, attract pests, compromise the cleanliness of the kitchen, and even cause flooding in some cases. Such issues not only disrupt operations but can also result in financial losses and health risks. Luckily, these problems can be easily avoided with proper cleaning and maintenance of grease traps. In addition to waste removal, The Drain Company can ensure that your grease trap is functioning efficiently and provide guidance on the appropriate frequency for maintenance.

The Drain Company brings years of expertise to grease trap cleaning. Unlike many providers who merely vacuum the grease, we conduct a thorough assessment of your grease trap’s overall condition. We ensure that both the water inlet and outlet lines are clear, which helps your grease trap operate effectively. We are knowledgeable about all types of grease traps and can recommend when a follow-up cleaning may be necessary if your current unit appears to be overloaded. To simplify your maintenance, we can set up a regular cleaning schedule tailored to your grease trap’s needs – eliminating the hassle of remembering to book services repeatedly. Based on usage, we typically suggest scheduling cleanings every 3, 6 or 12 months.
