Price of Grease Trap Maintenance Chemicals from State Chemical
A grease trap, also known as a grease interceptor, collects fats, oils, and greases (“FOGs”) in a commercial kitchen and prevents the FOGs from entering the city sewer system.The FOGs in the grease trap need to be treated and if not treated properly, can smell, attract flies and roaches, and worse yet, overflow. If your grease trap overflows, dirty wastewater containing FOGs will flood your kitchen floor.
One option to treat a grease trap is to add chemicals.These chemicals break down the FOGs contained in the trap, which reduces the risk of future problems (such as overflows), prevents the build-up of gases that corrode the grease trap, and decreases the frequency that a trap needs to be pumped out.
Cost is a significant factor in deciding whether to treat a grease trap. This article explains how much chemically treating your grease trap costs with State Chemical. The information in this article is based on 2024 pricing at State Chemical.
How Much do Grease Trap Chemicals Cost?
The cost of a chemical grease trap product depends on the level of grease in the grease trap:
- If you have light grease, the maintenance system will cost $150-$199 per month.
- If you have medium grease, the maintenance system will cost $200-$299 per month.
- If you have heavy grease, the maintenance system will cost more than $300 per month.
How do I Determine my Grease Severity?
Your grease severity is determined by how often you need to pump out your grease trap when it is not being chemically treated:
- If you pump out your untreated grease trap every 3 months, you have a light grease issue.
- If you pump out your untreated grease trap every 2 months, you have a medium grease issue.
- If you pump out your untreated grease trap every month, you have a severe grease issue.
Why Does the Price of Grease Trap Chemicals Vary?
The price depends on two factors:
- Which product you need, and
- How much product you need
The more severe a grease problem you have, the heavier duty of a product you need. These heavier-duty products come at a higher price tag.
Additionally, the more severe the problem, the more of each product you need. For example, if your grease trap requires one 5-gallon bucket every month, it will be more expensive than a grease trap that requires one 5-gallon bucket every two months.
