Grease Trap Cleaning – How to Get Rid of FOG With a Grease Trap
If you own a restaurant, takeout business, or any other establishment where fatty oils and greases (FOG) are common, you need a way to prevent FOG from building up in your pipes. FOG accumulation causes blockages that can slow down your drains and lead to costly overflows and repairs. You can avoid these problems with a well-maintained grease trap and a regularly scheduled cleaning service.
Crown Pumping, LLC is a box that wastewater flows through before it enters a drainage system. It is designed to intercept, or “trap,” fats, oils, and greases so that they don’t gum up your drains and cause clogs.
Avoid Costly Backups with Routine Grease Trap Cleaning
Grease traps can be either passive or active systems. Passive systems are the most common and typically include a stainless steel tank with a lid, a flexible tube or hose that connects to your drain, and a drain cover. Active systems include a pump or motor that pumps wastewater through the trap and into the drainage system. These systems are more efficient than passive traps and are often more durable, but they can cost more to purchase and install.
No matter which type of trap you have, it is essential that you clean it on a regular basis to avoid overflows and other drainage issues. This article will explain how to do so and what tools you’ll need, including a rubber glove, protective clothing, a plastic scraper, a bucket, a bin, and scrubbing brushes. Once your grease trap is clean, you’ll need to dispose of the waste properly to keep local water sources safe.
