How Often Should You Clean Your Grease Trap? Crown Pumping Explains

Grease interceptors are designed to separate fats, oils, and grease (FOG) from the waste water that drains into the sewer system. As the FOGs pass through the trap, they are absorbed into the walls of the unit and settle to the bottom. A solid layer of grease forms over time and must be removed to keep the trap functioning properly.

Regular grease trap cleaning is crucial to your restaurant’s success. The key to proper maintenance is educating staff on what can and cannot be put down the drain, providing grease disposal containers for unsafe items, and scheduling regular cleanings with a professional service provider.

During a grease trap cleaning, technicians use manhole keys to access the grease interceptor’s manhole cover. They then remove the lid and carefully detach the insides from the exterior. Then they scrape the interior walls and baffles to remove any adhered grease buildup. They may use a wet/dry vacuum to suck up any leftover bits of waste. The trap is then rinsed out with soap and warm water to flush it clean.
