Commercial Grease Trap Cleaning Services

The Importance of Grease Traps

A grease trap plays a crucial role in your restaurant’s operation. When installed properly, the grease trap is an effective solution to rid your establishment of oils and grease. When properly maintained, these devices prevent oils from entering the sewer system, thus avoiding blockages and foul odors. However, if the system breaks down, it can lead to drain backups and unpleasant smells. Regular grease trap cleaning and upkeep are crucial for keeping your operation running smoothly. We at Ladonia Plumbing Services offer professional grease trap cleaning and maintenance to commercial businesses in the foodservice industry. Our trained technicians will inspect and service your grease traps promptly, in a way that accommodates your business hours and schedule.

Understanding Your Grease Traps

Grease traps are designed to stop fats and grease from contaminating the sewer line along with wastewater. As wastewater flows into the grease trap, baffles cause the oils and grease to float to the surface and become trapped. The water at the bottom is allowed to pass into the sewer line while the grease and oils accumulate at the top. If grease and oil build-up becomes excessive, it can clog the grease trap, causing a disruption in the system.

Warning Signs of a Clog

The main cause of grease trap clogs is insufficient maintenance. If the trap isn’t cleaned regularly, debris and oils can accumulate, leading to blockages that cause water, or even sewage, to back up into your kitchen. Blockage can also create unpleasant odors in the kitchen as grease and oil have nowhere to vent. If your grease trap is outdoors, blockages can result in backups in the main sewer line, with water potentially coming up manhole covers. It’s important to check your grease traps are clear to prevent these issues. Hiring a professional company like Ladonia Plumbing Services ensures your grease traps are kept in optimal condition to avoid costly repairs or malfunctions.
