Unexpected grease trap issues can disrupt your business. Resolve blockages, overflows, and compliance concerns with regular cleaning.
How Often Should You Pump Your Grease Trap?
The ideal pumping frequency depends on your kitchen’s grease output, cooking methods, and trap size. General guidelines include:
- High-volume kitchens (fast food, diners, cafeterias) – Every 1-3 months
- Medium-volume kitchens (sit-down restaurants, cafes, catering businesses) – Every 3-6 months
- Low-volume kitchens (small cafes, coffee shops, food trucks) – Every 6-12 months
Signs Your Grease Trap Needs Cleaning:
If you notice these warning signs, your grease trap is overdue for pumping:
- Foul Odors – Strong grease smells coming from drains indicate excessive buildup.
- Slow Draining Sinks & Dishwashers – Clogs in the grease trap slow down water drainage.
- Grease or Food Debris Backup – Visible grease or food waste backing up into sinks requires immediate attention
Our Grease Trap Pumping Process
We follow a comprehensive and environmentally responsible process to ensure your grease trap remains in top condition:
- Inspection – We assess grease levels and the overall condition of your trap.
- Pumping & Cleaning – We remove all accumulated FOG, solids, and debris.
- Scraping & Cleaning – Trap walls and baffles are thoroughly cleaned to prevent buildup.
- Manifesting & Disposal – We ensure proper disposal of all waste according to state regulations and provide required documentation.
Neglected and without a proper maintenance plan, the system ran without issue for a time, until it did not. As expected, the lift station eventually failed, causing restroom backups, and requiring emergency services.
