We recently serviced an outdoor grease interceptor at a commercial shopping center in Fairfax, VA. Due to a long period without adequate maintenance, grease had solidified inside the unit to the point that a standard pump-out was no longer effective. The interceptor required an in-depth cleaning and rehabilitation to restore normal function.
Routine grease trap maintenance is important for proper operation and longevity. Service intervals typically range from 30–90 days depending on the size of the unit and kitchen usage. Regular cleanings help prevent blockages, odors, and service disruptions.
