Is Your Current Grease Trap The Right One For You?

A grease trap suitable for your needs can protect your plumbing system and be a much-appreciated addition to your business. While we specialize in grease trap cleaning in Henderson, NV here at Las Vegas Septic Service, we also want to help our customers answer important questions, one of which is whether or not your current trap is right for you.

Is the Location Convenient?

There is no set location where a grease trap must be placed, although under the sink is a common spot. However, if your current trap isn’t conveniently placed and this is making usage difficult, it may be worth the investment to have it repositioned. Doing so can also make grease trap maintenance and care easier.

Is Your Grease Trap Sized Right?

A grease trap is designed to handle a flow rate that’s less than 50 gallons per minute. But if your trap isn’t sufficiently handling flow well, you may need a grease trap interceptor. Interceptors have a flow rate of 50-plus gallons per minute.

To get the right size for your trap, double your average flow rate. A flow rate of 50 would, for instance, mean you need a trap that can handle 100 gallons. The sizing of your grease trap will also depend on:

• The amount of water usage
• How many sinks you have
• Flow of dishwasher
• Size/flow of glass cleaner

Has Your Trap Been Holding Up Well?

It’s normal for a heavily used grease trap to need regular pumping to keep it working well. What’s not so normal, however, is a grease trap that’s in need of frequent repairs. This is sometimes an indication your current trap needs to be replaced or updated to some extent.
