Commercial Grease Trap Cleaning and Installation Services

Commercial kitchens rely on grease traps to safeguard the sewer system against the harmful effects of fats, oil, and grease (FOG). The presence of these substances in wastewater can inflict damage on the sewer infrastructure and pose risks to the natural environment. Moreover, municipal codes strictly prohibit the disposal of oil and grease down the drain, and non-compliance can lead to fines for your business.

To prevent FOG from entering the drainage system, grease traps employ a series of baffles that effectively separate and confine these substances within the trap. However, as the traps accumulate oil and grease, blockages are more likely to occur, which necessitates regular cleaning to maintain optimal functionality.

If you do not have your grease traps cleaned out regularly, you may encounter the following issues:

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

The grease trap cleaning and maintenance services that we provide consist of the following:

• Regular upkeep: Our services include routine maintenance visits to eliminate accumulated oil and grease within the traps, as well as address any necessary repairs.
• Cleaning and maintenance: Following the thorough cleaning of the grease traps, we diligently inspect them for potential issues and offer the required repairs.
• Rodding and high-pressure jetting: For stubborn blockages, our expert team can employ rodding and high-pressure jetting techniques to clear your grease traps effectively.
• Inspection documentation: With each visit, we diligently generate and furnish an inspection report outlining our findings and actions.
• Historical records: Our comprehensive inspection reports provide an invaluable history of your grease traps, enabling us to identify potential problems, anticipate future maintenance requirements, and promptly address them.
• Emergency cleanup, available 24/7: In case of emergencies, we are accessible round-the-clock to swiftly clean and maintain your grease traps.
• Adherence to municipal and state regulations: Compliance with local and state codes is of utmost importance for foodservice establishments to avoid allowing fats, oil, and grease into the drain. Failure to comply can result in fines or temporary closure.
