Why a Maintenance Plan Makes Sense
A reactive approach to grease trap service — waiting until something backs up — almost always costs more than a scheduled plan. Regular pump-outs prevent overflows, extend trap life, keep you ahead of health inspections, and eliminate the stress of a last-minute emergency call.
Kauffman's sets you on a schedule that fits your kitchen's actual usage. No guesswork, no contracts, no pressure.
Typical Maintenance Intervals
Monthly
High-volume kitchens, large menus, or smaller trap sizes that fill quickly.
Every 2 Months
Mid-volume restaurants with average-sized traps — the most common interval.
Quarterly
Lower-volume kitchens, cafés, or large interceptors with plenty of capacity.
Not sure which fits your operation? We'll assess your facility and recommend the right interval at no charge.
