Fat & Grease Trap Cleaning & Maintenance

Fat and grease traps are primarily located in commercial kitchens, restaurants, hospitals, schools and food production factories. They are installed on the basis that they stop fat and grease from entering the drains to prevent blockages. Without maintenance, fat and grease traps will become clogged causing the trap to fail, resulting in a surcharge allowing the contents to overflow into the surrounding area or drainage system. This leads to costly clear up costs and possible fines from the Local Authority.

Elliott Environmental Drainage Ltd can offer one off cleans or a PPM contract for all sites large or small. All our staff are trained in hygiene standards and will carry out the task of emptying your grease trap with the minimum of disruption to your kitchen.

Why do you need Fat and Grease Trap Maintenance & Cleaning?

Grease Trap Cleaning is vital for any commercial restaurant – The traps themselves are often referred to as interceptors and can usually be found in-between the drains of a restaurant. Fat Traps are used to separate food waste, oils, fats and grease from any of the passing water. This prevents other drains from filling up and becoming clocked with the fat and grease. Fat Grease Traps also ensures that material does not then enter the public water system. It is recommended that Grease Traps should be cleaned at least every three months, failure to conduct cleaning and maintenance will result in the grease trap becoming overwhelmed with the fat / grease and will not perform at an optimal rate. In addition to this the busier the restaurant the quicker you should get yours cleaned to avoid any build up as this could prevent your restaurant or business from performing a variety of necessary tasks!
