A technician begins by removing the grease trap's cover to assess its condition, checking for grease buildup, corrosion, or damage. This step ensures the trap is appropriately sized for the kitchen's output and identifies any immediate issues.
Using specialized equipment like a vacuum truck, the technician pumps out accumulated fats, oils, grease (FOG), and solid waste. This step clears the trap of debris, ensuring responsible disposal in compliance with local regulations.
After pumping, the interior walls, baffles, and lid are thoroughly scrubbed to remove residual grease and prevent odors or blockages. High-pressure water or safe cleaning agents are often used to avoid damaging the trap or contaminating water.
The trap is refilled with water, and the system is flushed to clear any remaining debris from pipes. Technicians test for leaks, blockages, or other issues, making minor repairs if needed to ensure proper functionality.
Detailed service logs are provided to document the cleaning, which helps businesses meet health department regulations and prepares them for inspections. Our comprehensive documentation ensures you're always ready for regulatory compliance checks.
