Consistent. Clean. Compliant.

Grease traps need to be cleaned before they’re full—not after they start causing problems. Most restaurants benefit from service every 1 to 3 months, depending on volume and what’s going down the drain. If your trap is more than 25% full of solids and sludge, it’s time to schedule a cleaning. Letting it go too long can lead to odors, slow drains, backups, or health code issues.

We’ll clean the trap itself along with inlet and outlet lines, walls, and baffles—so everything is clean and flows like it should. We dispose of waste only at approved facilities and can provide documentation if your health department requires it.

Scheduled Grease Trap Cleaning

Running a kitchen is enough work—grease trap maintenance shouldn’t slow you down. Our recurring grease trap cleaning is tailored to your restaurant’s needs, helping you stay ahead of clogs, odors, and inspections. We’ll build a custom schedule based on your usage and take care of the cleanings automatically, so you don’t have to think about it.

Grease Trap Cleaning FAQs

What happens if my grease trap isn’t the right size for my kitchen?

If you’re filling your trap faster than once a month, it may be too small for your volume. We can take a look and recommend whether a larger unit would save you time, money, and hassle in the long run.

Can you help us prepare for a health department inspection?

Yes. We’ll make sure your grease trap is fully cleaned and provide disposal documentation if your inspector needs it. Staying ahead of inspections is a lot easier with a regular service schedule in place.

What if I’m not sure when my trap was last cleaned?

You’re not alone—many kitchens lose track. We’re happy to come out, check the trap, and give you a straight answer. From there, we can help you set up a cleaning routine that fits your operation.
