Restaurant Grease Trap Cleaning and Installation

It is important for every commercial kitchen to have grease traps installed that filter out fats, oil, and grease (FOG) and prevent them from draining into the sewer.  If these materials are allowed to go down the drain, they can damage the sewer system and pollute the natural environment.  Your business could also be in violation of local codes and get fined if you do not ensure the proper filtering of grease and oil.

Restaurant grease traps work by filtering the fats, oil, and grease from the water with a system of baffles that causes these materials to rise to the top of the traps.  If the built-up grease is not removed, it will eventually clog the trap and prevent the water from draining.  If this occurs, you may experience the following issues:

• Foul odors
• Kitchen flooding
• Contamination and health issues
• Expensive remediation services
• Fines
• Business closure

Our professionals at Mahoney Environmental can provide grease trap installation, cleaning, and maintenance to ensure that your grease traps are cleaned out and in working order.  You can expect the following from our grease trap cleaning services:

• Emergency 24/7 cleanup: We are available to provide emergency grease trap cleaning if a clog causes a problem in your kitchen.
• Compliance with regulations: You will avoid violating codes and regulations that can lead to fines by keeping your grease traps in working order.
