Commercial Grease Trap Cleaning Services

Why Grease Traps Are Essential of Grease Traps

An grease trap plays a critical role in your restaurant’s operation. When installed and maintained correctly, this grease interceptor is a reliable solution to rid your establishment of fats and grease. When functioning correctly, these devices prevent grease from entering the sewer system, thus avoiding blockages and foul odors. However, if the system breaks down, it can result in drain backups and unpleasant smells. Regular grease trap cleaning and upkeep are crucial for keeping your operation running efficiently. We at Midland City Plumbing Services offer professional grease trap cleaning and maintenance to commercial businesses in the foodservice industry. Our team of technicians will inspect and service your grease traps on time, in a way that accommodates your business hours and schedule.

Understanding Your Grease Traps

Grease traps are designed to prevent oils and FOG from contaminating the sewer line along with wastewater. When wastewater enters the grease trap, specialized barriers allow the oils and grease to rise to the top and become trapped. Water beneath is allowed to flow into the sewer line while the grease and oils build up at the top. If grease and oil build-up becomes excessive, it can block the grease trap, causing a backup in the system.

Warning Signs of a Clog

The main cause of grease trap clogs is infrequent 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. A clog can also create noxious odors in the kitchen as there is no space for fumes to escape. If your grease trap is outdoors, clogs can result in backups in the main sewer line, with water potentially rising from manhole covers. It’s important to check your grease traps are clear to prevent these issues. Hiring a professional company like Midland City Plumbing Services ensures your grease traps are kept in optimal condition to avoid costly repairs or malfunctions.
