FOG Compliance Expertise
Our technicians are trained in local wastewater regulations, ensuring that your service meets municipal standards and that records are maintained for inspection.

Full Pump-Out & Cleaning
We don’t just skim the trap — we remove all contents, rinse, and inspect the system for performance and condition.

Our Oakland Grease Trap Cleaning Process

  1. Preparation & Access – Lids are removed, and the area is prepped to ensure safe, clean access to your trap.
  2. Complete Pump-Out – Liquids and solids are fully removed using vacuum truck or portable pumping equipment, depending on accessibility.
  3. Interior Cleaning – Walls and baffles are scraped and rinsed to remove residual grease and solids.
  4. Inspection & Report – We check for proper lid seals, stripped bolts, and any structural issues or indicators that the system may require hydrojetting, maintenance or repair.
  5. Waste Disposal – All material is transported to a licensed treatment facility for proper disposal and recycling.

After each visit, you’ll receive a service report with notes and photos for your records — giving you full transparency and compliance documentation.

Add-On Services for Oakland Kitchens

Many restaurants in Oakland choose to combine grease trap service with hood cleaning or hydrojetting for maximum efficiency.

We also provide interceptor pumping for larger outdoor tanks that require confined-space entry and steam cleaning.

Our coordinators can help schedule everything together in one visit to reduce costs and downtime.
