Why Should Restaurants Clean Their Grease Traps Regularly?

December 8, 2018 By Hollis

Paying frequently for getting your grease traps professional cleaning may not be in your priority to-do list, after all, they don’t increase food sales of your restaurant, adding value to its interior or don’t have any contribution to creating customer loyalty. Does it?

The fact is far beyond what you thought because untreated grease traps are likely to cause foul odors, plumbing blockage ending with sewer backup all over the setting that eventually force you to suspend your services for a few days, make your kitchen employees sick and drive your loyal customers away in annoyance forever. Being in the food business, as you should be focused on supplying food lovers with delicious dishes and services, the need for scheduled restaurant grease trap cleaning is just that much obvious. Why it’s so important, let’s have a look.

What Does a Grease Trap do?

Grease traps are essential parts of any commercial kitchen plumbing system, employed for intercepting oily matters and solids, and thus, stopping them to pass through the disposal pipelines. Because the interceptors get accumulated with a large volume of grease and fats, it becomes indispensable for food businesses to arrange standard restaurant grease trap cleaning by professional service providers. As a consistent device for trapping FOGs (food particles, oils, and grease), it has a certain intercepting capacity, crossing which you may come across the following scenarios.

Toxic Smells

If accumulated remains containing FOGs are not pumped, or the trapper left untreated, the chuck automatically gets decayed and starts discharging stinking small. Being located virtually under the kitchen basement or dishwater ground, primarily, the kitchen staff is likely to experience the foul smell while in no time the strong toxic stench will reach the dining, entryway and engulf the premises as well. This will not only make your employees feeling sick but equally make your customer wondering about the sanitation standard of your food business, highly dissatisfied and quit you for all times.

Damaging to the Tank

The harsh chemical containing FOGs breakdown leads to the generation of hydrogen sulfur gas, and that turns to sulfuric acid. Unsurprisingly, sulfuric acid is awfully hazardous and is likely to be detrimental to the steel body and concrete apparatus of grease trapper system. This may require you to replacing the entire interceptor as well as damaged parts of a plumbing system that just not costly but time-consuming too which is why; it’s highly recommended to hire a profession restaurant grease trap cleaning on regular basis.

Clogging and Sewer Backup

Typically, as soon your grease trap crosses ¼ of its FOG accumulation capacity, it begins functioning improperly. With the failing of its grease intercepting capacity, the oily substances, and grease plus food particles freely pass through the waste pipe line. The remaining part of wastewater complied with grease in the pipelines and main drainage system get hardened while generating buildup all through the inner walls of pipes, sinks, and sewer system. Not only will the blockage start leaking, spilling and backing up of rotten sewer in sinks all over but will make it a catastrophic failure for future dealing.

Costly and Complex Cleaning

As overlooking the significance to restaurant grease will end with stinky inefficient grease trap, clogging of the drainage system, sewer backup, you would have no option but to call for emergency plumbers to deal with the critical situation. While you were intended to save some bucks by ignoring trap cleaning regularly, now cost of managing the complex situation and comprehensiveness of work undertaken by emergency plumbers will be shockingly high. The untreated solid mass of FOGs is not only hard to remove but needs special kind of pumping devices to take the things under control. Simply imagine, you could have avoided the huge loss of revenue that you count end of the day including the reputation of your business just by sticking to scheduled restaurant trap cleaning service.

Facing Huge Penalty

The municipal and health departments not only guide the commercial and industrial kitchen services about the standards that they should adhere to in the food points but also carry out regular inspections to ensure that those are carefully maintained. During the session of verification, they examine food standards, cleanliness maintained in the kitchen as well as dishwashing areas in addition to the outflow of the drains including grease trap system. Whether they notice the high amount of grease and oily matters going through the drainage and municipal sewer during their regular visit or undertake a sudden inspection on reporting by citizens, you will be penalized in different forms. This may include huge fines, cancellation of your business license or suspension of your operation till further addressing of the situation.
