Grease Trap Cleaning Services
Keep your commercial kitchen compliant and flowing. Find grease trap cleaning professionals in your area.
Grease traps intercept fats, oils, and grease (FOG) before they enter the sewer or septic system. Regular cleaning is required by health codes for restaurants and food service businesses.
Who Needs Grease Trap Service?
Any commercial kitchen that generates fats, oils, and grease: restaurants, cafeterias, bakeries, food trucks, catering companies, and food processing facilities. Some residential properties with high grease output may also benefit. If your business has a commercial kitchen, you almost certainly need regular grease trap service to stay in compliance.
The Cleaning Process
A technician opens the trap, measures the grease layer, pumps out all contents (grease, water, and solids), scrapes the trap walls and baffles, refills with clean water, and documents the service for your compliance records. Many companies offer scheduled service contracts with automatic reminders.
