Grease Trap & Pumping Truck Services
Protecting Plumbing Systems. Preventing Environmental Issues. Keeping Operations Flowing.
Grease Trap & Pumping Truck Services Overview
Grease trap services and pumping truck operations are essential for managing fats, oils, grease (FOG), and liquid waste generated by commercial, industrial, and food-service operations. These services prevent blockages, overflows, odors, and environmental contamination while keeping facilities compliant with local regulations.
Professional pumping trucks are used to safely remove, transport, and dispose of collected waste using approved environmental handling practices.
What Is a Grease Trap?
A grease trap, also known as a grease interceptor, is a plumbing device designed to capture fats, oils, and grease before they enter municipal sewer lines or onsite wastewater systems. Over time, grease traps must be professionally pumped and cleaned to remain effective.
Without routine service, grease buildup can cause:
- Sewer backups and overflows
- Costly plumbing damage
- Health code violations
- Environmental contamination
Grease Trap Pumping & Cleaning Services
Grease trap pumping involves the complete removal of accumulated grease, solids, and wastewater, followed by thorough cleaning and inspection.
Services include:
- Full grease and solids removal
- Trap and interceptor cleaning
- Line flushing when required
- Inspection for damage or improper function
- Proper transport and disposal of waste
Routine service keeps systems operating efficiently and prevents emergency issues.
