Grease Trap Maintenance: The Do’s and Don’ts

Do you run a restaurant, school, or institutional kitchen in Indianapolis and have questions about how to handle your grease trap? There is a lot of advice out there on how to perform proper maintenance. At Commercial Grease Trap Cleaning Corp. we are here to offer sound guidance on what to do and not to do when maintaining a grease trap.

Don’t: Do It Yourself

Some do-it-yourself products you buy may claim to clean your grease trap well by breaking down the grease and fats, but this isn’t necessarily the case. Often the enzyme simply separates the product and may cause more problems down the line. A professional has the right tools, the experience, and an understanding of federal and state laws. We don’t just skim the grease off the top. We pump it until the grease is fully removed. Leave the cleaning to the experts.  

Do: Schedule Regular Maintenance

We recommend regular maintenance be performed on grease traps. We offer scheduled maintenance for our customers, which means it’s one less thing you have to worry about as you are working hard to create a clean kitchen environment that can serve your patrons well. 

Don’t: Ignore Grease Trap Problems

When you ignore potential problems with the trap, don’t rely on chance for the issue to fix itself. Putting it off will only cause the problem to escalate, and who wants to deal with a clogged grease trap during a busy meal time? Be pro-active and respond immediately to potential problems.

Do: Contact the Professionals

When you need someone to service your grease trap, don’t just hire the first person you see. Contact real, trusted professionals who have the experience and the know-how to keep your grease trap clean and running smoothly. It’s not just about the grease trap; it’s about safety, customer service, cleanliness, and fast service. If you have an emergency, hire someone you can trust will be on-site in no time.
