Grease traps play a crucial role in any commercial kitchen. They are designed to trap fats, oils and grease (FOG), and keep them from going down the drain and entering the public sewer line. If your grease trap isn't working properly, the fats, oils and grease from your kitchen can solidify and build up inside your pipes. When the buildup becomes too much, it can block wastewater from the other pipes in your establishment and before you know it you have a major backup in your kitchen or bathroom. Don't let this happen to your business - call John Kline Septic for grease trap maintenance, repairs and replacement.
Your Business Has Grown or Changed - Your Grease Trap Can't Keep Up
If your business has grown or your menu has changed but your kitchen has not, make sure your trap can handle the amount of waste you’re producing. If you’re not sure how to check, ask one of our friendly technicians. We’re happy to review your kitchen and your trap to make sure everything is functioning properly.
You're Experiencing Backups Regularly
If you've been lax on routine maintenance, the fats, oils and grease in your grease trap can begin to harden, making it difficult for kitchen wastewater to pass through the trap or down your pipes. If you're dealing with backups often, it might be time to have your grease trap evaluated or replaced to ensure things are flowing freely and filtering out waste efficiently.
