Grease Trap Cleaning for Restaurants & Commercial Kitchens

Grease trap cleaning is a critical part of maintaining a safe, sanitary, and compliant commercial kitchen. Restaurants, food courts, grocery stores, schools, hospitals, and institutional kitchens depend on properly functioning grease traps to prevent fats, oils, and grease from entering the sanitary sewer system.

When grease traps are not cleaned on a regular schedule, grease and food solids can accumulate and harden inside the system, leading to slow drains, backups, unpleasant odors, pest attraction, and potential health department issues. Our professional grease trap cleaning service is designed to prevent these problems before they disrupt your operation.

We service grease traps of all sizes, from under-sink units to larger indoor systems, and tailor service frequency based on kitchen volume, usage, and layout.

Additional Commercial Kitchen Services in Contra Costa County

In addition to grease trap cleaning, we also provide:

Many customers choose to coordinate multiple services with one provider to simplify scheduling, documentation, and compliance.

A Proactive Approach to Grease Trap Maintenance

Routine grease trap cleaning helps prevent plumbing issues and reduces long-term maintenance costs. By removing accumulated grease and solids before they become a problem, we help extend the life of your plumbing system and reduce the risk of emergencies.

Each grease trap cleaning visit includes thorough service, visual documentation, and a clear understanding of how your system is performing — so you’re never left guessing or reacting after the fact.

Commercial Grease Trap Cleaning Designed for Compliance

Many jurisdictions throughout Contra Costa County expect grease traps to be maintained so grease and solids remain within acceptable limits. While enforcement practices vary, 25% combined grease and solids is widely recognized as the industry standard for proper grease trap maintenance.

Our grease trap cleaning service supports compliance by providing:

  • Complete removal of grease, fats, oils, and food solids
  • Clear documentation to support internal records and inspections
  • FOG reports to help track system condition over time

Staying ahead of grease buildup through scheduled grease trap cleaning helps operators avoid violations, plumbing issues, and unexpected service interruptions.

Grease Trap Cleaning for Limited-Access & Interior Kitchen Systems

Most grease traps are located inside commercial kitchens, typically beneath sinks or prep areas, and must be serviced carefully to avoid disruption. Our technicians are experienced in working within active kitchen environments and perform grease trap cleaning efficiently, cleanly, and with minimal impact on daily operations.

Some facilities present additional access challenges, such as stairwells, long distances from parking, or multi-tenant layouts. In these situations, we adjust our service approach to ensure the work is completed safely and professionally without compromising cleanliness or workflow.

Specialized Equipment for Unique Access Constraints

In most cases, grease trap cleaning is completed using standard vacuum truck hose runs. When a grease trap is located beyond hose reach or when hose routing is not feasible — such as kitchens on upper floors accessed by elevator, basement-level kitchens, or buildings where hoses cannot be run through common areas — we utilize our portable Conde ProVac system.

This equipment allows grease and solids to be transferred efficiently from the grease trap to the vacuum truck without dragging hoses through kitchens, hallways, or shared spaces. It is used selectively based on site conditions and allows us to maintain clean, controlled service even in complex access situations.

Adding Hydrojetting to Grease Trap Cleaning Services

In some cases, grease buildup extends beyond the grease trap and into the connected drain lines. When this occurs, hydrojetting can be added to a grease trap cleaning visit to remove accumulated grease from the piping and restore proper flow.

Because grease trap cleaning and drain line performance are closely connected, evaluating the system during routine service allows us to recommend hydrojetting when it would provide additional benefit. Addressing both the grease trap and the connected lines helps reduce recurring buildup and supports long-term plumbing performance.

Adding hydrojetting alongside grease trap cleaning can:

  • Improve drainage and flow consistency
  • Reduce grease accumulation within drain lines
  • Help prevent backups and emergency plumbing issues
  • Minimize the need for separate service visits

Preventing Plumbing Emergencies with Routine Grease Trap Cleaning

Emergency plumbing calls are often the result of deferred grease trap maintenance. Hardened grease buildup can restrict flow, cause wastewater backups, and lead to costly repairs and downtime.

Routine grease trap cleaning helps:

  • Reduce the risk of drain line blockages
  • Improve overall drainage performance
  • Minimize emergency plumbing calls
  • Protect downstream piping and infrastructure

By maintaining grease traps proactively, operators reduce long-term costs and avoid operational disruptions.
