Grease Trap and Interceptor Cleaning

Municipalities require restaurants and food processing plants to install grease intercepting devices to prevent fats, oils, and grease from entering the public sewer system. Fuzion uses a system of hydro-jet cleaning to pump and eliminate buildup of these food byproducts and prevent contamination and overflow in the sewer system. 

Any business that prepares food in a commercial setting and generates fatty/oily waste. This can include restaurants, food service facilities, and/or food and beverage plants.

Grease traps are installed within a commercial kitchen and often have a capacity of around 50 gallons. It is recommended that they be cleaned at least once every 90 days. However, local municipalities may require more frequent cleanings, so it is important to know your local ordinances. Grease interceptors are installed outside of the facilities and can have capacities up to 5,000 gallons for optimal operational efficiency. They are required to be cleaned once they reach 30% capacity, which usually occurs once or twice a year. 

There are numerous repercussions if a grease trap or interceptor is not adequately cleaned. Clogged pipes can lead to a sewage backup and overflows. The business and surrounding areas will be at increased risk of a grease fire. The business will receive a hefty fine from the city and may be at risk of getting shut down until the grease trap or interceptor is in appropriate condition.

Fuzion offers the most comprehensive benefits to food and beverage facilities in the area. Reliable service, customizable maintenance plans, complete cleanup and grease removal, highly trained operators, and 24/7 emergency service are what you get when choosing Fuzion for grease trap and interceptor cleaning.
