A septic company is one of the most crucial components in a commercial kitchen. It is designed to filter and separate fatty acids, oils and greases from water that enters the drain system. Without regular cleaning and maintenance, this system can quickly become a breeding ground for foul odors, pipe blockage, or even sewer back-ups.
To keep your restaurant operating smoothly, it is important to clean your grease trap regularly. The plumbing industry standard is that a grease trap should be cleaned once it is one-fourth full of FOG materials. It is also advisable to schedule a grease trap pump-out service as soon as you see your grease trap reaching this level.
The Health & Safety Benefits of Regular Grease Trap Cleaning
Cleaning your grease trap is an involved process that requires careful attention to detail. It begins with removing the lid and disconnecting all of the internal components. The next step is to use a steel pot scrubber and soapy water to clean the trap’s baffles, sides, and lid. Afterwards, rinse the trap with clean water to remove any soap residue. Finally, use a shop vacuum to suck out any solidified fats, oils, and greases left behind.
It is a good idea to hire a professional company to handle your restaurant’s grease trap maintenance. They will be able to thoroughly clean the trap and dispose of FOGs at licensed facilities to environmental regulations. They will also ensure the trap’s lifespan is extended and can help you avoid costly plumbing issues in the future.
