Bealeton Va Grease Tank Cleaning

Our Bealeton VA grease tank cleaning service is one of the most popular services we offer. If you’ve ever tried to clean the trap out yourself, you have a deep understanding of why that is. It’s a job that’s beyond disgusting. Not only will it take up most of your day, but even if you wear protective clothing—and you should—whatever clothing you’re wearing underneath is likely to get ruined. Even if it doesn’t, you’ll struggle to get the smell out. In two words, it’s not fun.

It gets even worse though, because your grease trap is something you have to deal with, and on a regular basis, at that. It’s not something you can let go. If you do, inevitably the trap will fill to the point of overflowing and you’ll wind up with thick, disgusting sludge filled with fats, oil, grease and solids backing up into our kitchen.

Not only is the smell terrible, but it also poses a genuine health hazard that will force you to close your doors until you clean up the mess. The good news is that it never has to come to that. It never has to reach that point. Just give us a call and help will be on the way shortly!

We recommend taking advantage of our Bealeton VA grease tank cleaning about every three months, but that rule of thumb is only of limited value. Treat it more as a general guideline than an ironclad rule. There are two other factors that bear considering:

The first, of course, is that you’ve got to adhere strictly to city ordinances. Whatever frequency the regs say you need Bealeton VA grease tank cleaning, that’s what you’ve got to abide by, whether your trap is full or not. It also pays to keep the ¼ Rule in mind. Any time your trap gets more than a quarter full with fats, oils, grease and solids, it’s time to empty the tank, whether the city thinks it’s time or not.

Paying close attention to the trap level, you may find yourself in the unhappy situation of having to pay to have it emptied out more often than you’d like. In those cases, most of the time it comes down to things your employees are doing improperly that’s allowing more solids to flow into the trap.

The two biggest offenders are these:

• Not properly scraping dinner plates before washing. Any food left on the plates when your employees start washing is food that winds up in the trap.
• Connecting the line that runs from your garbage disposal to the trap. If you don’t have a garbage disposal, you don’t have a problem. If you do, make sure it’s not emptying into the trap and it will fill up less often.

Inevitably though, the trap is going to fill up. When it does, give our office a call. We’re happy to assist.
