What Will Happen When A Commercial Grease Trap Isn’t Maintained?

If the FOG (fats, oils & greases) layer accumulates and becomes too thick inside the commercial grease trap, those oils and fats leak through into the pipes, in which they’ll solidify and ultimately trigger a whole-system backup. Put plainly, you’ll be forced to close down your business while you go about cleaning up the mess in the kitchen and get the grease traps back in working order. Beyond this, all solid food waste filters to the bottom of the grease trap, and collects as sludge. If left in place, those solids are going to eat away at the grease trap, ultimately forcing you to get the unit replaced altogether.

Maintain the Commercial Grease Traps

The best method of preventing this type of emergency and keeping your patrons satisfied with uninterrupted service includes regularly having the grease traps serviced. Depending upon how busy the restaurant is, you ought to have the commercial grease traps professionally cleaned every one to three months. At Vacuum Services, we believe a proper and thorough cleaning involves pumping out the full contents of the traps, instead of merely skimming the fats, oils, and greases off of the surface and leaving the corrosive food solids and wastewater behind. Relying upon Vacuum Services to professionally maintain the commercial grease traps will assist in keeping your restaurant up and running.
