Why Grease Trap Cleaning is a Must

Commercial kitchens face a very real maintenance concern that can not only negatively impact the internal environment of the restaurant but also be a potential municipal hazard and even legal concern: fats, oils and grease (FOG). This type of buildup can clog up the municipal sewer system.

To manage sludge accumulation in the kitchen, restaurant owners use a grease trap interceptor. To keep the operations safe, however, the interceptor requires consistent maintenance. The interceptor and septic system experts at Las Vegas Septic Service explain why regular grease trap cleaning in North Las Vegas, NV is imperative.

To Avoid Costly Kitchen Equipment Damage

The waste and byproducts that have collected in the grease trap contain compounds. If grease trap pumping is neglected or put off indefinitely, the buildup can ultimately damage the grease trap and prompt an untimely and costly replacement.

Unhealthy and Unpleasant Smells

Decomposing matter in the trap will also eventually release an unpleasant smell that will permeate the kitchen and restaurant. The stench can drive away your clientele and attract vermin and insects. So, for the sake of your business, take advantage of our routine grease trap services.

Harder to Maintain

FOG and solid food waste accumulate in grease traps over time. Without regular grease trap maintenance, this buildup can become harder and harder to clean. The good news is that we can help you stay ahead of the problem and ensure this doesn’t happen.

Municipal Sewer Backups and Sanctions

FOG in an improperly maintained grease trap interceptor will continue to build up and eventually force greases and fats down the drain along with the wastewater. FOG can’t enter the city sewer system in volumes. It will coagulate, leading to blockages, costly cleanups, and even environmental hazards. For this reason, cities mandate the correct maintenance of approved grease traps, without which a restaurant can receive fines for inaction.
