Grease Trap Cleaning
Grease traps prevent fats, oils, and grease (FOG) from entering your plumbing system and causing costly clogs or backups. Over time, grease builds up in the trap and must be pumped out to keep your kitchen running smoothly and in compliance with local health and plumbing regulations.
​
SIGNS YOU NEED A PUMP OUT:
-
Foul odors coming from the drain or trap
-
Slow draining sinks or floor drains
-
Gurgling sounds in your plumbing
-
Grease or wastewater backing up
​
Most restaurants need pumping every 1-3 months depending on size and volume. We'll help you stay on schedule and avoid expensive problems.

Frequently Asked Questions
The required cleaning frequency depends on the size of your grease trap and the amount of cooking your restaurant does. Most restaurants need service every 1 to 3 months. Regular grease trap pumping helps prevent backups, foul odors, plumbing issues, and costly downtime. If you're unsure how often your grease trap should be serviced, we can recommend a maintenance schedule based on your operation.
Yes. Typical local sewer authorities require grease traps to be properly maintained to prevent fats, oils, and grease (FOG) from entering the public sewer system.

Yes. We recommend scheduled maintenance for most restaurants to help ensure your grease trap is serviced before problems occur. We'll work with you to create a service schedule that fits your business and can provide reminders when it's time for your next cleaning.
Yes. Grease trap backups don't always happen during business hours. We offer 24-hour emergency response for grease trap overflows, backups, and other urgent situations to help minimize downtime and get your kitchen back up and running as quickly as possible.
We provide grease trap cleaning and pumping for restaurants, commercial kitchens, and facilities throughout Northeast Florida. This includes restaurants, hospitals, nursing homes and assisted living facilities, schools, hotels, grocery stores, cafeterias, and other businesses or facilities with grease traps or grease interceptors.
Proper grease trap maintenance protects your plumbing system, helps prevent expensive repairs, reduces odors, and keeps your business in compliance with local regulations. Routine cleaning also helps keep your kitchen running smoothly and minimizes the risk of unexpected interruptions during business hours.
When a grease trap isn't cleaned regularly, fats, oils, and grease build up until wastewater can no longer flow properly. This can lead to clogged drains, overflowing grease traps, unpleasant odors, health code violations, emergency plumbing repairs, and even temporary restaurant or facility kitchen closures. Routine maintenance is the most cost-effective way to avoid these problems.
