Practical question

How below-ground grease traps are cleaned and emptied

Below-ground systems tend to raise slightly different questions because they are often larger, harder to access and more dependent on the right practical emptying arrangement.

Why this question comes up

Below-ground systems are often bigger, more awkward and more dependent on access

Compared with smaller above-ground traps, below-ground units can involve different access considerations, larger waste volumes and a more involved servicing arrangement. Sites often need to understand that difference before they ask for the wrong kind of visit.

What usually affects the job

The practical factors

  • • System size and the amount of grease waste needing removal
  • • Access for the location and any site restrictions around emptying
  • • Whether the system is part of a larger plant or drainage arrangement
  • • Whether the site needs cleaning only, a fuller review or a wider condition discussion
