Commercial Grease Trap Cleaning and Installation Services

The use of grease traps in commercial kitchens is vital, as they play a crucial role in preventing the discharge of fats, oil, and grease (FOG) into the sewer system. The introduction of such materials into the drain poses a risk of damaging the sewer system and causing harm to the natural environment. Non-compliance with local regulations that prohibit the disposal of FOG down the drain may result in penalties for your business, including fines and potential closure.

Using a series of baffles, grease traps effectively isolate and contain FOG, preventing its entry into the drainage system. As traps accumulate a deposit of oil and grease over time, the potential for obstructions increases, underscoring the need for periodic cleaning to maintain optimal performance and efficiency. Integrating dependable grease trap solutions into your commercial kitchen not only safeguards the sewer system and environment but also ensures compliance with regulatory standards.

You can experience the following if your grease traps are not cleaned and maintained regularly:

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

We can help your commercial kitchen with the following grease trap cleaning and maintenance services:

• Regular maintenance: We can regularly maintain and inspect your grease traps to ensure they are in working order.
• Cleaning and repair: We will clean out the accumulated FOG from the traps and provide repairs as needed.

Commercial Used Cooking Oil Containers and Automated Systems

Efficient handling and storage of cooking oil are essential throughout its lifecycle, including pre-use, during usage, and after use.
