Grease Trap Cleaning

Call Us Now. We're Here to Help!

A grease trap intercepts grease and oil from wastewater in kitchens before that water flows through to the sewer lines. This works because grease and oil aren’t as dense as water, so these substances float on top. A grease trap catches this grease using a series of “baffles.” These traps eventually need to be cleaned once the grease buildup has become too thick. Our team offers commercial services. Many businesses—including restaurants and other businesses within the food service industry—need to schedule regular grease trap cleaning.

If you want your commercial kitchen to keep serving you well, it’s important to keep your lines free of clogs. A backup is bad for business. Call us to prevent that problem before it affects your reputation or your bottom line.

A grease trap serves as a pivotal component in commercial kitchen plumbing, strategically crafted to intercept and confine fats, oils, and grease (FOG) present in wastewater. Its primary function is to thwart the entry of these substances into the sewer system, preventing potential blockages and environmental hazards.

The operational dynamics of a grease trap involve a deliberate deceleration of wastewater flow. This deliberate slowing allows for the cooling and congealing of fats and oils. As the water temperature drops, FOG elements ascend, forming a layer on the surface, while solid particles settle at the trap's bottom. Consequently, the treated water emerges, significantly mitigating the introduction of FOG into the sewer system.

Initiating the cleaning process for a grease trap mandates the expertise of licensed professionals. This comprehensive procedure encompasses the extraction of accumulated FOG and solids by pumping out the contents. Thorough cleansing involves scraping and purging the trap walls of any adhered substances. Regular and meticulous maintenance is imperative to avert potential clogs, ensuring the grease trap remains a resilient and efficient deterrent against FOG-related plumbing issues.
