Frequently Asked Questions
How often will I need to have my grease trap pumped?
The frequency of pumping depends on the size of your grease trap and the volume of grease your kitchen produces. During the initial inspection, we can estimate the pumping schedule based on your specific operation. Generally, restaurants with high grease production may require pumping every 1-3 months, while lower volume kitchens might need it every 6 months or even annually.
What happens if I don't install a grease trap?
Grease traps are essential for preventing clogs and protecting your plumbing system. Without a trap, grease will solidify in your pipes, leading to backups, overflows, and potential damage. Additionally, many localities have regulations mandating grease traps for commercial kitchens. Failing to comply can result in fines or even closure of your establishment.
Is there a difference between indoor and outdoor grease traps?
Yes, there are two main types of grease traps: indoor and outdoor. Indoor traps are typically smaller and located under the sink or within the kitchen itself. They are suitable for low-volume kitchens. Outdoor traps are larger and buried underground, ideal for high-volume operations. Our technicians can recommend the most suitable type for your needs during the inspection.
