What affects the cost of Grease Trap Installation & Cleaning
Frequently asked questions
How often should a grease trap be cleaned in Columbus?
The cleaning frequency depends on the volume of FOG generated by your establishment, but generally, it's recommended every 1 to 3 months. Columbus regulations often mandate a 25% rule, meaning it must be cleaned before it reaches 25% capacity.
What are the signs that my grease trap needs cleaning or repair?
Common signs include slow drains, foul odors emanating from sinks or floor drains, gurgling sounds from pipes, or visible FOG accumulation in the trap itself. Ignoring these can lead to complete blockages.
Can I clean my grease trap myself to save money?
While some very small traps might be manageable, commercial grease trap cleaning requires specialized equipment for pumping and proper disposal of FOG. Attempting it yourself can be messy, ineffective, and may violate Columbus waste disposal regulations.
What is the difference between a hydro-mechanical and an automatic grease trap?
Hydro-mechanical traps manually separate FOG through gravity, requiring regular pumping. Automatic grease traps use heating and skimming mechanisms to separate and remove FOG automatically, often discharging cleaner water to the sewer.
Do you work weekends?
We keep flexible hours, including evenings and weekends where we can.
