Little's Grease Trap Service Pump Grease Traps

In a grease trap, large particle solids (primarily fats, oils, and grease) that have masses greater than that of water settle to the bottom of the trap. This way, these solids can be removed periodically, along with any floatable spent solids.

The frequency at which your trap should be pumped depends on various factors such as the type of food prepared, the amount of food prepared, the size of the trap, and your dish cleaning practices.

Plumbing maintenance tip: Grease, oils and fats stick to other solids in your waste water. By minimizing the food particles and solids going down the drain, it will reduce the risk of blockage.

There are several signs that your grease trap may need to be serviced, including backups, odors, and drainage problems. However, to ensure proper operation, the grease trap needs to be regularly checked and maintained.

Do you know that grease traps have been used since Victorian days? The first patent for a grease trap was obtained by Nathaniel Whiting in the late 1800s.

Grease traps should be cleaned every four to six weeks. Cleaning them less often reduces their efficiency and increases the odds of a grease fire.

Water inside the grease trap helps separate the different kinds of grease. Since fat and oil are lighter than water, they float on the surface.

The grease that floats on top of the water can accumulate to two inches thick between cleanings. This resulting sludge should be removed regularly.

It’s a common myth that it’s fine to dispose of grease down the drain if you have a garbage disposal unit. In reality, a garbage disposal unit only grinds up food particles. It doesn’t prevent grease from building up in pipes.

According to EPA, sewer pipe blockages are the leading cause of sewer overflows, and grease is the primary cause of sewer blockages. Hence, nearly all municipalities require commercial kitchens to use some type of interceptor device to collect grease.

It wasn’t until the 1940’s that the Plumbing and Drainage Institute of America started creating and enforcing capacity and flow ratings, so that fewer sewer system blockages occurred.

An overflowing grease trap can close a restaurant for several days while the mess is cleaned up and the kitchen is sanitized to satisfaction.
