There are many businesses and restaurants in Central Florida with grease traps. Specifically designed to trap fats, oils and grease (FOG) before they go down the drain and sewer. Over time, FOG end up sticking to pipes, solidifying and trapping small pieces of debris. Allowing all types of harmful bacteria to grow. If not taken care of through routine maintenance, drains and sewer lines can back up and cause destruction in the pipes.

For the best quality, value and service, you can rely on the professionals at Orlando Septic Service. We understand commercial waste management systems work harder and have higher volume, more stress and deal with harsher chemicals, than residential systems.

Routine cleaning and maintenance is vital to keep drains and pipes operating smoothly. Preventing any disruption in your business and costly back-ups.

How often should your grease trap be pumped?

Depending what type of business you have, some restaurants will need it more often than others. Taking into account what is going down the drain and how often, pumping can range from weekly to quarterly.

Typically, food service, and restaurants are required to document their grease disposal methods, including cleaning and repairs.According to the Orange County Government, “Grease traps/interceptors and oil/water separators must be completely pumped out and cleaned at least once every 90 days. In addition, grease traps must be inspected (and excessive solids, fats, grease, and oil removed) at least once every 7 days.”

Commercial grease traps are a crucial component to any business and requires maintenance for a healthy system. Proper maintenance of your grease trap will save you a ton of frustration and money in the long run.
