How Often Should Grease Traps Be Cleaned?
Our experts at Capital City Septic Systems recommend having your grease traps cleaned every 1 to 3 months, depending on usage. Professionals suggest scheduling services when the grease trap is one-fourth of its capacity. Doing it at this frequency will help you avoid smelly odors from the fats, oils, grease, and solids inside the trap. Failure to clean the traps in a timely manner can also result in clogs.

Signs You Need Grease Trap Cleaning Services
While our experts recommend having your grease trap cleaned every few months, there are also signs you can watch for that indicate your unit needs professional services sooner. Some symptoms can include:
- If sinks are draining more slowly than they should be. This can be due to hardened grease in the system.
- If grease is more than one-fourth of the wastewater depth. This means you have fats, oils, and grease accumulating and it can start to impact your system.
- If there is a foul smell coming from the kitchen. This is the result of fats, oils, and grease.
- If you can’t remember the last time you had your trap cleaned. If it’s been more than a few months, then your trap is due for services.
If you notice any of these signs, call Capital City Septic Services to schedule services. Our experts will accurately clean your traps with top equipment, including professional grade portable pump out stations.
