Why You Need Grease Trap Pumping in Lakeland, FL

If your home or business uses a septic system instead of the city’s plumbing system, you probably enjoy the environmental, cost, and maintenance benefits of using septic. However, your septic system is comprised of a variety of different parts that need maintenance in order to work their best. One of these is your grease trap, and every so often, you will need to call us at William Dustin Septic in Lakeland, Florida for grease trap pumping.

Not every drain in your house or business is connected to your grease trap; some of them may be connected back to your main water line. However, if your kitchen drain (in your house or in a commercial kitchen) is connected to a grease trap, you will need to have grease trap pumping done on a more frequent basis. This is because the food and grease that run down into your kitchen pipes eventually start to build up within the grease trap.

Without performing grease trap pumping on a regular basis, you run the risk of clogging up your entire septic system with the buildup of food and grease in your grease trap because sewer lines are not able to process this food and grease.

The size of your grease trap is one factor that plays into how often you need to get your grease trap pumped. These traps range in size anywhere from 5 gallons to 5,000 gallons or more. Pay attention to the size of your grease trap and get it pumped if you ever notice that your septic system stops working like it should.
