If you own a restaurant, food truck, or other commercial business that serves food, it’s likely you’ll have to deal with grease. A grease trap is essential in the food service industry, but for them to work properly, they need professional maintenance. Grease traps can fall victim to a number of issues, including accumulation of solid grease and fat.

When grease and fat cools down, it changes and solidifies – blocks of this are commonly known as fatbergs. These fatbergs clog sewers, and are responsible for most grease trap blockages. Unfortunately, once these have formed, they can’t be removed through the traditional Kiwi DIY. Only a professional grease disposal team should attempt to remove them.

A professional grease removal team will have all the tools necessary for cleaning these dangerous and costly clogs. Business owners often assume they could do that with cheaper tools, but fatbergs can be more difficult to remove than one might think; they are resistant to many common cleaning chemicals. In fact, it isn’t advisable to use chemicals on them at all, because they can damage pipelines and create environmental hazards.

Professional grease removal services are not only equipped to deal with blockages, but can also handle the strange surprises and left-field objects that get stuck in pipes. Pipelines often collect long-lost items - jewellery, cell phones, among others. Professional teams know how to dispose of or recover these, but DIYers often have no idea how to get around them. This can lead to either improper disposal, or pipe damage if a lodged object is forced out carelessly.

Grease traps are usually installed by professional teams, so it follows that they should be maintained by them too. If you aren’t responsible for installing a grease trap, chances are you don’t have a full understanding of how it works, and may not even be able to locate the tanks, which could be stored underground.
