Do you know what the major cause of pre-mature commercial septic system failure is?

 Lack of Pumping of The Exterior Grease Trap

Exterior grease pumping frequency uses similar guidelines as septic tank pumping:

• When the grease depth is equal 25% of the depth of the water level in the grease trap.
  •  for example in a 1000 gallon grease trap that is 4 feet deep- you would pump the total grease dept in the tank- floating on top and the sludge on the bottom of the tank- is 1 foot deep.
• Water temperature- if the water temperature in the grease trap is greater than 110 degrees.
  • When the water tempature is too hot, the grease stay suspended in the water and will flow to the septic tank and can damage the drain field if the grease moves beyond the septic tank.

Many local health departments on Cape Cod require the grease trap to be completely pumped twice per year even if the grease trap depth is less than the 25% rule.

Property Owners and Property Managers with Septic Systems and or Grease Traps.

• The Rooterman of Cape Cod- www.rooterman-capecod.com and the Septic Doctor recommend that you do not leave the grease trap pumping and septic pumping to the restaurants leasing your property.
• We are called to many commercial properties, where the restaurant operator, was responsible for pumping that was not done as required in the lease and or required by the health departments only to find the leaching field is failed because the grease trap has not been pumped as required.

If septic drain field fails- the restaurant can’t operated and they will not be able to pay you the rent!
