Grease Interceptor Cleaning
Reliable Grease Interceptor Cleaning for Commercial Kitchen
The Risks of Ignoring regular Grease Interceptor Maintenance
Imagine your restaurant running at full capacity when suddenly- the kitchen sink backs up, foul odors spread, and a health inspector starts noting violations. The cause? A neglected grease interceptor overflowing with built-up fats, oils, grease, and solids (FOGS waste). Most drain blockages in food establishments stem from grease buildup, leading to slow drainage, costly plumbing repairs, and even forced shutdowns. The only way to prevent this? Regular grease interceptor cleaning and maintenance.
Failing to maintain your commercial grease interceptor leads to serious consequences. Over time, accumulated grease solidifies, causing plumbing failures and expensive repairs. A neglected grease interceptor creates unbearable odors and becomes a breeding ground for bacteria, roaches, and rodents. Worse, a clogged system can damage your entire plumbing infrastructure, requiring costly replacements.
How Often Should You Schedule Commercial Grease Interceptor Cleaning?
The frequency of grease interceptor cleaning depends on kitchen volume, grease production, equipment use, and local regulations. High-traffic kitchens generate more FOGS waste and require more frequent maintenance than smaller establishments.
Some states, like California, mandate cleaning every 30 to 60 days to prevent violations and costly fines. Kitchens using deep fryers and high-grease appliances also need more frequent maintenance operation on their grease management system. If grease buildup exceeds 25% of the interceptor’s capacity, it risks plumbing failures, foul odors, and even business license revocation. Regular commercial interceptor cleaning prevents blockages, extends plumbing life, and ensures compliance. Stay proactive and schedule routine maintenance to keep your kitchen running smoothly.
