Grease tank cleaning in Arlington is mandated by law for restaurants and other establishments that serve and process food. Why is this necessary in the first place? Learn of the benefits of regularly cleaning the grease trap and what may happen if you neglect this all-important maintenance.

Prevents Backups

If full, grease traps can clog much the same way as residential drains. When fat, oil and grease (FOG) accumulate, some of it will return to the surface, creating a serious sanitation hazard. It also creates an odor that can be smelled outside the kitchen by the dining patrons.

Extends Grease Trap Longevity

Cleaning is part of the crucial maintenance. Most grease trap manufacturers recommend scheduling a pumping when the tank reaches one-quarter capacity. This keeps the system from being overstressed and can extend its longevity. A well-maintained grease trap has a projected five- to eight-year lifespan.

Promotes Cleanliness

When FOG accumulates and lingers, it creates a breeding ground for bacteria and pathogens. This creates an unsanitary environment that can compromise employee health, and possibly customer health as well. In addition, it may also attract pests like mice and cockroaches, which can create additional sanitation problems.

Protects the Environment

When you schedule pumping from a professional septic service, the collected FOG from your facility is disposed of in an FDA-approved manner. Otherwise, FOG may contaminate water systems and create wastewater pollution. 

Maintain Public Reputation

If your grease trap isn’t properly maintained, it can lead to fines. If news of this gets out, it can harm your public reputation and lead to a loss in customer retention.
