If you own a grease trap, you may not realize how important it is to have it cleaned on a regular basis. Gecko Enterprises, Oahu, HI’s most reliable and cost-effective company for grease trap pumping and septic care, has more than 25 years of experience with grease trap cleaning.

The septic system company has provided six important facts about grease trap cleaning every Oahu grease trap owner should know:

• A Legal Requirement: Grease trap cleaning is actually a requirement in most states, including Hawaii. Any commercial kitchen must have a registered grease trap participating in regular grease trap pumping. 
• Good For The Environment: By using a grease trap and having it cleaned regularly, you help keep the sewer system clean and functional. In addition, professional grease trap cleaners know the best way to dispose of the biodegradable grease waste to be the most beneficial for the environment.
• When To Clean Your Grease Trap: You can tell when your grease trap needs to be pumped by simply looking at the grease trap. If the grease trap is at least a quarter full of grease or solids, it’s time to get it pumped. Gecko Enterprises’ septic system specialists can work with you to set up a schedule for grease trap cleaning based on your grease usage.
• Never “One & Done”: It is usually recommended for grease traps to be cleaned bi-weekly or monthly, although restaurants with an extensive and frequent use of their grease traps may require grease trap pumping as often as daily. 
• The Dangers Of Avoiding Grease Trap Cleaning: Without properly maintained grease traps, grease and oils can easily enter main sewers. This grease can build up in the sewers, causing significant clogging, which hinders water flow and even overflows the system.
• It’s Affordable: Grease trap cleaning doesn’t have to cost you an arm and a leg. Gecko Enterprises offers reliable, expert cleaning services to help you avoid the hassle of continually trying to keep your grease traps clean on your own.
