Grease traps are designed to remove fatty oils, grease, and sludge from the wastewater that flows into your municipal sanitary sewer. The substances pass through a catching system, which gives them time to cool off and solidify, while the water passes through the drain as normal. Though it’s a smelly, unpleasant job, the grease trap must be maintained regularly in order to work effectively. It’s a fairly straightforward process that can save you from potential fines or even criminal liability.

​Clean the trap in the morning and on a set schedule. It’s much easier to clean the grease trap if the contents have been allowed to cool overnight. So, clean the trap in the morning, but at least 1-2 hours before the business opens.

If you don’t clean the grease trap frequently enough, it will become less efficient and may allow grease to flow into the sewer system. This can result in costly fines.

We thoroughly clean your grease trap to eliminate any unpleasant odors and prevent safety issues. All grease trap waste is disposed of according to all local, state, and federal regulatory requirements.
