Restaurant Grease Pickup and Disposal Services in Houston, TX

Commercial kitchens handle a lot of cooking oil before and after use and it is important for the safety and efficiency of the kitchen for the cooking oil to be handled properly.  Once cooking oil passes its useful life, it must be transferred to a storage container so it can be picked up for recycling.  The best way to ensure that used cooking oil is collected and recycled properly is for foodservice businesses to work with a professional that is licensed to provide restaurant grease pickup services.

Restaurant Grease Trap Cleaning and Installation

All commercial kitchens must have functional grease traps to filter fats, oils, and grease (FOG) from the water so they are not washed down the drain.  If these materials do reach the sewer system, they can cause damage to the system and pollute the natural environment.  Failure of your business to maintain your grease traps and filter FOG from the water can result in fines for municipal violations.

Grease traps work by separating the grease and oil from the water with a system of baffles which causes these materials to rise to the top of the trap.  If the grease and oil buildup becomes too much, it can clog the traps and prevent the proper filtering of the oil and grease.  If your grease traps are not cleaned, the following problems can occur:

• Flooding in the kitchen
• Contamination and health issues
• Foul odors
• Expensive remediation services
• Business closure
• Fines

Our professionals at Mahoney Environmental provide grease tap installation and maintenance as well as cleaning services to ensure that the traps are working properly.  You can expect the following from our grease trap services:

• Regular maintenance: We will provide regularly scheduled cleaning and maintenance for your grease traps to ensure that they are in working order.
