How often should I have service?

Every grease trap is different.
There is no standard when it comes
to grease trap service…Every grease trap is different. Just because you have more people come through daily, doesn’t always mean you need service more often. If you have fewer customers but serve food with a higher grease content, you may need service more often. Each factor plays with and against another.

How often you need your grease trap cleaned depends on these factors:

• The size of your grease trap
• The type of food you serve
• How much food you serve
• How many dishes/pans are washed daily

Even with regular cleaning, no grease trap is 100% effective. There is still a chance that some grease may pass into your outlet line and result in grease/sewage backups into your facility. If you want to further prevent this from happening, we offer Preventative Maintenance packages to ensure that your grease trap will run as efficient as possible and to also help prevent backups. Please see our “Preventative Maintenance” page for more details.

We offer specified service windows so that you can have your trap cleaned at your best convenience.
