If you own a commercial kitchen, having your grease trap or interceptor routinely pumped is the most effective way to protect your plumbing. Whether monthly or weekly, scheduled maintenance prevents grease from backing up into the pipes, which will help you avoid costly emergencies and shutdowns. Consistency is the key here, so ask your kitchen maintenance provider to provide automated service reminders. Even if you have your grease trap pumped on a regular basis, you should also consider adding annual or biannual hydro jetting to your maintenance list. This will flush any residual grease that may have escaped into the pipes, which will help prevent buildup and maintain long-term plumbing health.
