Frequently asked questions
How often should a commercial grease trap be cleaned in San Marcos?
The cleaning frequency depends on the volume of FOG generated by your business. Generally, grease traps should be cleaned when 25% of their capacity is filled with FOG, which can range from monthly to quarterly for most establishments.
