The frequency of grease trap cleaning depends on several factors:

- Grease trap size

- Grease production volume

- Type of food served

Typically, grease traps require cleaning every 3-6 months. However, high-grease kitchens may need more frequent cleaning. We recommend you check with your local water authority on how regularly you need it cleaned.

Regular maintenance prevents unexpected backups and repairs, and keeps your grease trap flowing freely. At Grease King, we'll send you reminders before your next maintenance service, ensuring you stay on schedule and enjoy a hassle-free commercial kitchen.

If you don't clean your grease trap, grease can build up in your drains and cause blockages. Grease can also contaminate the watercourse and lead to pollution, which can result in fines.

Your local water authority usually determines how often to clean your grease trap.

No, you shouldn't use a garbage disposal instead of a grease trap.

If the grease trap is unobstructed and is able to be located right away, a standard job takes around 30 minutes.
