Importance of Septic Maintenance for Restaurants

Spread the love

If you own a restaurant that is on a commercial septic system, maintaining this system should be a top priority. While you may be more concerned with the quality of your food and service, a septic system problem can undo all your efforts to provide a quality food establishment. Not only do most city ordinances require certain levels of septic maintenance, a malfunctioning system can shut down your restaurant, cause you to be fined and drive away customers.

High Usage Requires High Maintenance

Your restaurant’s septic system is put through much more than most commercial businesses. You are more likely to have more customers using the restroom than other types of businesses, creating more stress on your septic system. It is impossible to regulate what customers are flushing down the toilets, plus there is more food waste than can make it down into your septic tank.

All this high use requires more septic maintenance than many other types of businesses. You need to be concerned with regular pumping of your tank, plus maintenance to ensure all your septic equipment is working properly. Getting on a regular maintenance schedule with your local commercial septic service can prevent septic emergencies and potential shutdowns or fines due to a poorly functioning septic system.

Grease Trap Cleaning

Along with your septic maintenance, your restaurant may also require regular grease trap pumping and cleaning. Full grease traps can cause sewer clogs and can fill your restaurant with a nasty odor, which is not conducive to selling food. Talk to your septic company about adding grease trap cleaning to your septic maintenance package.

What goes in, must go out. If you own a restaurant with a septic, make sure you are concerned with both the food going into your customers’ mouths and the waste leaving your building to ensure the success of your business.
