For restaurants, commercial kitchens, and food service facilities, grease traps are essential to keeping your plumbing system running properly. Without regular maintenance, fats, oils, and grease (FOG) can build up quickly—leading to blockages, odors, and costly disruptions.
Our grease trap services include professional installation, routine cleaning, and ongoing maintenance to keep your system compliant, efficient, and operating without interruption.
What Is a Grease Trap?
A grease trap is a specialized plumbing device that captures fats, oils, and grease before they enter your sewer system. By separating these materials from wastewater, it helps prevent buildup inside pipes and reduces the risk of major plumbing issues.

Why Grease Trap Maintenance Matters
Grease traps fill up over time and require routine cleaning to function properly. When maintenance is neglected, buildup can quickly impact your entire plumbing system.
- Severe drain and sewer blockages
- Slow drainage and backups
- Strong, persistent odors
- Increased risk of plumbing emergencies
- Health code violations or fines
How Often Should a Grease Trap Be Cleaned?
Cleaning frequency depends on usage, but most commercial kitchens require service every 1 to 3 months. High-volume operations may need more frequent pumping to prevent overflow and buildup.
Staying on a consistent service schedule helps avoid unexpected issues and keeps your system operating efficiently.
