A grease trap that passes the inspector's look.
We pump the trap or interceptor, scrape the walls, check the baffles and leave a service record, so grease does not reach the sewer and drains stay open.
- Equipment: Vacuum truck and hand tools
- Typical visit: One to two hours

What it is, and why it matters.
A grease trap catches fats, oils and grease before they enter the sewer. When it fills, grease passes through and builds up in the downstream line, and the whole kitchen drain system slows. Many cities require regular cleaning and a service record for restaurants and food businesses.
We pump the trap or interceptor completely, scrape the walls and baffles, check the gaskets and lid and refill with clean water. For a Nashville restaurant or a food truck commissary we set a schedule based on the trap size and the amount of grease, and we leave a manifest or a service record for health and sewer inspections. Heavier users often clean monthly or quarterly.

Grease Trap Cleaning: common questions
How often should a grease trap be cleaned?
Many kitchens clean every one to three months, and some rules call for cleaning when the trap is a quarter full of grease. A busy kitchen may need monthly service.
What happens to the grease we pump out?
It is hauled and disposed of under the rules that apply to the material. We provide the service record that documents the cleaning.
