Restaurant Grease Trap Cleaning and Installation

All commercial kitchens must have functional grease traps to prevent fats, oils, and grease (FOG) from washing down the drain and into the sewer system.  Allowing FOG to wash down the drain is harmful to the natural environment, and it can result in major damage to sewer systems.  The failure to effectively filter FOG from draining water may violate municipal codes which could make your business subject to fines.

Grease traps work by using a system of baffles that separate FOG from the water so that it rises and is collected in the traps, allowing the water to drain.  When the built-up FOG becomes too much, this can prevent the drainage of the water as well as proper filtering of the oil and grease.  When a grease trap becomes clogged, your business can experience the following issues:

• Foul odors
• Kitchen flooding
• Contamination and health issues
• Expensive remediation services
• Fines and possible closure of your business

Mahoney Environmental provides grease trap installation, cleaning, and maintenance to help you keep your grease traps clear and in working order.  You can expect the following from our grease trap cleaning and maintenance services:

• Regular maintenance: We will set up regularly scheduled maintenance visits to clean out your grease traps and provide any maintenance and repairs needed to keep them working.
• Cleaning and repair: After we clean the FOG out of your grease traps, we will provide repairs if necessary.
• Rodding and jetting: We can rod or jet your traps to remove difficult clogs.
• Inspection report: We create an inspection report on each visit to keep record of the condition of your grease traps.
• History reports: Our inspection reports are saved to keep track of the history of maintenance provided and the condition of your traps so we can anticipate upcoming maintenance needs and look for potential problems.
• Emergency 24/7 cleanup: We can answer your call 24 hours a day for emergency grease trap cleaning to prevent serious issues or the closure of your business.
• Compliance with regulations: We will make sure your establishment is in compliance with all applicable municipal and state codes to avoid fines and closures.

Restaurant Grease Disposal Containers

It is important for commercial kitchens to have the equipment necessary to handle and store used cooking oil, including grease disposal containers.  Having a system in place with reliable equipment will allow you to reduce the risk of spills, burns, and injuries by transporting and storing the used cooking oil safely.

At Mahoney Environmental, we can install automated cooking oil handling systems that consist of frying oil filter machines and commercial grease storage containers.  We can install the following types of automated systems in commercial kitchens:

• Direct connection: Your fryers are directly connected to your UCO storage tanks with our Direct Connection Recycler System which allows you to transfer the oil by turning a lever or flipping a switch.
• Indoor system: Our indoor system features a dedicated indoor storage tank with pipelines extending and connecting to the fryers. The UCO filtration process involves utilizing a portable filter machine.
• Heated outdoor bulk container: These heated and insulated outdoor storage tanks have a screen filter over the opening to filter debris from the UCO and they come with the option of a sensor to monitor levels within the tank. Anti-theft locks on these tanks keep the UCO protected.

We provide the following restaurant grease disposal containers:

• ClearView Inside Storage Tank
