Our Grease Trap Cleaning Process: What to Expect

While some companies only scoop out the top layer, our technicians fully pump down your grease trap. We’ll also inspect the inlet and outlet pipes, flow, and grease thickness. Our process helps you avoid backups and compliance issues.

Here's what you can expect during your grease trap cleaning service:

Interior Grease Traps

Step 1. We begin by safely removing the top cover of your interior grease trap.
Step 2. We thoroughly pump out all grease, water, and solid waste from the containment area.
Step 3. We clean the entire containment area, including all baffles and strainers.
Step 4. We clean and inspect the gasket. If needed, we'll reinstall it, resealing with caulking to prevent leaks.
Step 5. We run water from your sink through the traps to verify proper flow and identify any immediate drainage issues.
Step 7. We conduct a visual inspection of the trap for any structural damage or potential problems.
Step 8. If required by your local health department, we complete an IG service grease log.

Exterior Grease Traps

Step 1. We carefully expose the necessary inlet and outlet covers on your exterior tank. If applicable, we'll also inspect and clean the tee pipe.
Step 2. Our team will completely pump out all solids, water, and sludge from the tank.
Step 3. We thoroughly scrape the interior walls of the tank to remove stubborn buildup.
Step 4. We'll clean your filter if your system has one.
Step 5. We carefully note any findings, such as excessive buildup in the lines or significant solids. We review recommended services, like line jetting, to ensure your drain pipes are clear.
Step 6. We perform a visual inspection of the exterior tank, covers, and tees for any leaks or structural compromise.

When all is said and done, we'll recommend the appropriate grease service frequency.

We Adhere to Local Codes: Your Partner in Compliance!

We adhere to the regulations of the local health department. For exterior grease tank services, we file a DEP Form 4 document and submit it to your local Board of Health.

Interior grease traps may not need a DEP Form 4. However, we will complete a grease log at your facility. We'll document the service date, our company name, and the technician's name, following typical Board of Health protocols.

Wind River Environmental is committed to environmentally responsible practices. We dispose of all grease trap waste at licensed facilities.

That’s why the All American Septic, A Wind River Company team of experts go above and beyond standard grease trap cleaning services and handle all grease removal needs for your business.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should grease traps be cleaned?

Grease traps should be cleaned every 1-3 months, depending on the size and volume of your commercial kitchen. However, it is always best to consult a professional to determine the appropriate frequency for your business.

Many towns and states have grease tank servicing requirements under their FOG Program. Our maintenance program ensures your grease tanks are serviced for efficiency and compliance, helping you avoid violation fees.

Why should my grease trap be cleaned so frequently?

Cleaning your grease trap every 3 months helps prevent clogged drains and other expenses like drain repairs and fines from the health department. Essentially, routine grease trap cleaning is more cost-effective for you in the long run.

Grease traps, also known as grease interceptors or grease recovery devices, are essential for removing fats, oils, and greases (FOG) from wastewater. These traps can clog fast without regular cleaning, making your property vulnerable to issues.

Common issues from a neglected grease trap include:

Fire hazards due to build-up of combustible materials
Foul odors from trapped food particles and bacteria growth
Expensive plumbing issues from clogged pipes and drains
Health code violations and potential fines

Without regular cleaning using proper techniques, a grease trap can become a liability for your business. Stay compliant and prevent issues by scheduling routine cleanings with All American Septic, A Wind River Company.

What are the signs I need to have my grease trap cleaned?

Common signs that your grease trap could use a cleaning include:

Slow draining or clogged sinks, indicating a buildup in the trap
Unpleasant odors coming from drains or the grease trap area
Standing water or sewage backups near the grease trap
25% or more of the trap's capacity is filled with FOG
