Grease Trap Pumping and Cleaning

Grease Trap Pumping and Cleaning in Syracuse, NY and Surrounding Areas

A grease trap or interceptor is an essential device, especially for restaurants, cafes, and commercial food establishments. It traps fat, oil, grease, and solids from the kitchen wastewater before it enters the sewer waste system. These substances are disastrous for a residential or commercial sewer system. The grease trap requires regular cleaning and pumping by a qualified and trained professional to clear out the solid and grease that builds up over time. After removal, the FOG (fat, oil, and grease) is taken to a processing facility for further treatment. Failure to do so reduces the device’s efficiency and can lead to extensive damage. 


Grease sticks to the pipe walls, eventually leading to sewer clogs, corrosion, overflow, foul odor, pest infestation, and septic system damage resulting in downtime, fines, costly repairs, and replacements. Periodic grease trap cleaning and pumping helps prolong its life and keeps it and the pipes in top shape. Some businesses may require grease trap pumping and cleaning every month while others every three to six months, depending on grease trap size, the volume of grease produced, or specifications by the local municipality. 


Grease trap cleaning and pumping professionals use trucks with large tanks to collect grease. They use a hose to connect the grease tank with the collection tank to transfer the grease trap contents into the tank. After removing all the waste, the pros scrape the trap surface to remove hardened FOGs or use pressured water for the purpose. They then thoroughly inspect the trap to check the device for potential issues.

Benefits of Regular Grease Trap Cleaning

  • Prevents clogging: Excessive fats, oil, and grease buildup in the grease trap can clog and damage the system, reduce its performance, and cause a severe back-up. Regular cleaning keeps the grease trap safe and clean and prevents buildup.


  • Cost-effective than repairs: Grease trap cleaning and maintenance avoid sewer problems and save money on costly repairs or replacements. Also, neglecting grease trap cleaning for long will clog it and cause it to malfunction and become faulty. Emergency grease trap repair costs much higher than getting it cleaned regularly.


  • Better for the environment: Once a grease trap becomes full or starts to overflow, it loses its capability to trap more grease. Overflowing grease escapes and enters the water lines or main water supply. Grease entering the water system is a health and environmental hazard. Regular cleaning prevents overflow and helps protect the environment.


  • Maintains kitchen hygiene: Dirty or clogged grease trap results in a foul odor, which is unpleasant for the employees and visitors. Periodic grease trap cleaning prevents sewer gasses and foul odor from spoiling the kitchen environment and keeps it smelling fresh and nice.


  • Keeps your kitchen functional: When the grease trap becomes full, the accumulated fat, oil, and grease will back up in the drain and lead to messy floors and a kitchen that is expensive to clean and spoil the establishment's reputation, and even lead to hefty fines and shutdown. Regular grease trap cleaning keeps up with the regulation and maintains a functional and healthy kitchen.
