Grease Trap Maintenance in New Haven — FAQ
How often should a grease trap be pumped?
The 25% rule is the working standard — pump when FOG + solids reach 25% of interceptor volume. Most commercial kitchens land on a 4–8 week cycle; high-volume operations run more often. We right-size the schedule to your actual interceptor and cover count, not a default.
What documentation do we get for the health department?
Every service produces a digital manifest with volume pumped, condition photos, and disposal chain-of-custody. Inspectors want to see the manifest history, and having it ready on request usually ends the conversation.
Can bio-dosing replace pump-outs?
No. Bio-dosing extends time between pump-outs by digesting FOG in-line, but interceptors still fill with solids and need physical removal. The two work together.
Do you service New Haven on a regular schedule?
Yes — weekly routes. We route New Haven weekly for existing accounts and offer same-week site walks for new properties across Downtown, East Rock, Wooster Square and the rest of New Haven.
What types of New Haven properties do you work with for grease trap maintenance?
The grease trap maintenance program in New Haven is running in university dining, hospitals, restaurants, and across the property types most common to the market. If your property type isn't listed, most programs adapt without any changes to scope.
