Draining Slowly

If your sink is draining too slowly, this could be a sign that your grease trap is fully. The best thing to do when this happens is to call a professional to take a look at your trap.

Strong Smells

Sometimes, your grease trap will be obvious when it needs to be cleaned. Often, a strong odor will emit from it. If this is the case, then it’s time to get it cleaned.

Backed Up Waste

If any of the waste is backing up to the sink, then you need to have it checked out right away. This is a clear sign that you need to have it cleaned up.

Remember to have regular maintenance and cleaning performed on your grease trap. While the receptacle will usually give you clear signs that it needs to be cleaned, sometimes it might not be as obvious. Also, it doesn’t hurt to have it cleaned before the signs get too bad.
