Grease Trap Service
Grease trap and interceptor cleaning, repair, and line care that keeps your kitchen draining and keeps you on the right side of the inspector.
A grease trap only works if it is maintained. When it fills, grease carries past it into your drain lines and the city sewer, and that is when you get backups, odors, and code violations. We service traps and interceptors for restaurants and commercial kitchens across Greater Philadelphia.
We do more than pump and go. We check that the trap is sized and working for the volume you actually do, clear the lines feeding it, and tell you straight if something is undersized or failing. Restaurant plumbing is our core strength, and grease is at the center of it.
Signs Your Trap Needs Attention
- Slow kitchen drains or floor sinks
- Grease odor in the kitchen or near the trap
- Standing grease or water around the trap
- Backups during peak service
- A trap that fills faster than it used to
- An upcoming health or plumbing inspection
Why Traps Fail
- Service intervals stretched too long for the volume
- An interceptor undersized for the kitchen
- Grease hardening in the lines feeding the trap
- Damaged baffles or lids
- Solids not being scraped before dishes hit the sink
Repair or Replace?
When Repair Makes Sense
Most traps just need consistent cleaning on the right interval, plus the occasional baffle or lid repair. If the trap is sound and correctly sized, a maintenance schedule solves the problem.
When Replacement Is the Better Call
If the trap is cracked, corroded through, or simply too small for your volume, no amount of cleaning fixes it. We will tell you honestly and help you size a replacement correctly the first time.
What Affects the Cost
Every job is different, so we give you a clear price before we start. A few things that affect what a job costs:
- Trap or interceptor size
- How often it is serviced
- Whether feeder lines need jetting too
- Any repairs to baffles, lids, or fittings
- Scheduled service versus emergency call
Frequently Asked Questions
How often does my grease trap need to be cleaned?
It depends on your volume and trap size. A high-volume kitchen may need monthly service, a smaller one less often. We can set an interval that keeps you clear and compliant without over-servicing.
Can you help with health inspection or code requirements?
Yes. We service traps to keep you draining properly and can advise on sizing and maintenance that lines up with local requirements.
My trap is fine but the line still backs up. What now?
The grease is likely built up in the line feeding or leaving the trap. Hot jetting clears that. We often pair trap service with jetting for kitchens with a history of backups.
Do you handle emergencies?
Yes, 24/7. A grease backup can shut a kitchen down, so we prioritize it.
