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.
