Frequently Asked Questions
What is a grease trap?
A grease trap is a plumbing device designed to intercept greases and solids before they enter a wastewater disposal system. Its primary function is to prevent excessive buildup that can clog drains and sewer systems. Regular cleaning ensures the trap functions effectively, preventing costly repairs and environmental hazards.
How often should I clean my grease trap?
The frequency of grease trap cleaning depends on the volume of FOG produced by your business. Typically, it’s recommended every 1-3 months.
