Commercial Grease Trap Cleaning and Installation Services

Commercial kitchens need to have functional grease traps to prevent the fats, oil, and grease (FOG) from going down the drain.  Allowing FOG to be washed down the drain can result in damage to the sewer system and even pollution of the natural environment.  You may also be in violation of municipal codes without grease traps which can get your business fined.

Grease traps separate FOG from the wastewater with a system of baffles that contains these materials within the traps.  The FOG needs to be cleaned out regularly to prevent clogs in the traps that could lead to the following issues:

• Bad odors
• Contamination and health issues
• Kitchen flooding
• Expensive remediation services
• Business closures

Our professionals at Mahoney Environmental can help keep your grease traps clean and in working order with the following grease trap cleaning and maintenance services:

• Regular maintenance: We provide maintenance services for your grease traps to keep them working properly and avoid serious issues.
• Cleaning and repair: We offer regular grease trap cleaning to remove the built-up FOG and we can provide repairs if there is a problem.
• Rodding and jetting: If a clog is difficult to remove, we will clear it by rodding or jetting the traps.
• Inspection report: We will provide you with a report of the condition of your traps.
• History reports: We keep a complete documented history of the condition and work done on your grease traps so we can address any issues and anticipate needed maintenance.
• Emergency 24/7 cleanup: If you have a problem with your grease traps, we are available 24/7 to provide emergency cleanup and repairs.
• Compliance with municipal and state regulators: Washing FOG down the drain violates municipal and state codes which results in fines and even business closure. Keeping your grease traps clean and in good repair helps you stay in compliance.

Commercial Used Cooking Oil Containers and Automated Systems

Cooking oil always needs to be handled and stored properly as mishandling oil can lead to spills that cause burns, falls, and other injuries.  Every commercial kitchen needs a system in place that allows for the safe transfer and storage of used cooking oil.
