Grease traps are required for restaurants. With the amount of grease that could go down the drain when a grease trap fails, it is vital to keep them in good working order. Grease can damage your pipes, as well as cause clogs wherever the grease congeals and starts building up. It could even cause issues in the municipal water system.
Having your grease traps inspected and serviced regularly should be on the maintenance schedule for your restaurant. It doesn’t have to take a lot of time, and shouldn’t hold up your business if it is done on a regular basis. As with any problem, it will only get worse and more time-consuming if it is left alone for a long period of time.
Of course, cleaning and emptying your grease trap regularly should also be part of your routine. Depending on the size of your trap as well as the amount of grease that you end up emptying into it during a normal day, this might need to be done frequently.
