WHY IS GREASE TRAP MAINTENANCE IS ESSENTIAL?
In any food service establishment, grease, oils, and fats are a byproduct of daily operations. Without regular maintenance, grease traps can become clogged, leading to unpleasant odours, slow drainage, and even costly plumbing backups. For businesses in Winnipeg, Headingley, Southern Manitoba, and the surrounding areas, routine grease trap cleaning and maintenance are not just a requirement, they’re a necessity for avoiding interruptions to daily operations.
Regular maintenance ensures:
1. Proper flow of wastewater through your pipes.
2. Prevention of expensive blockages and grease-related clogs.
3. Compliance with local health and safety regulations.
Simply Septic specialises in proactive grease trap maintenance services, helping businesses stay compliant and operational without the worry of unexpected plumbing issues.
HOW DO GREASE TRAPS WORK?
Grease traps, also known as grease interceptors, are devices that capture FOG from wastewater before it enters the plumbing system. As wastewater flows through the grease trap, grease and oil rise to the top, while solids sink to the bottom. The clean water is then allowed to exit through the drain.
Over time, the grease and solid waste in the trap accumulate and must be removed to prevent clogging and overflow. Regular cleaning ensures the grease trap functions properly, preventing costly issues such as backups, sewer blockages, and fines from non-compliance.
WHEN TO SCHEDULE GREASE TRAP MAINTENANCE?
Knowing when to schedule grease trap maintenance depends on several factors:
1. Frequency of use:
High-traffic kitchens or restaurants typically need more frequent cleaning.
2. Foul odours:
If your kitchen is starting to smell like old grease, it’s time to schedule a cleaning.
3. Slow drains:
Slow or gurgling drains are a clear sign that your grease trap needs attention.
For businesses, Simply Septic makes scheduling grease trap maintenance easy. Our team is equipped to handle everything, from routine cleaning to emergency services, ensuring your system stays compliant and fully operational.
