Grease Trap Cleaning & Maintenance
Grease traps are required for restaurants, commercial kitchens, food processing facilities, and any establishment that discharges fats, oils, and grease (FOG) into the sewer system. When grease traps are not properly maintained, FOG accumulates and causes blockages, sewer backups, foul odors, and violations of local sewer use ordinances and SCDHEC regulations. Our grease trap service includes complete pumping and removal of accumulated FOG, thorough interior cleaning of baffles and walls, inlet and outlet inspection, and compliance documentation. We handle traps of all sizes — from small under-sink units to large in-ground interceptors.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should grease traps be cleaned?
Most commercial kitchens need grease trap service every 1-3 months depending on volume. High-volume restaurants may need monthly pumping. South Carolina regulations and local sewer use ordinances often specify minimum cleaning frequencies — we help you stay on schedule and in compliance.
What happens if a grease trap is not maintained?
Neglected grease traps cause FOG (fats, oils, and grease) to overflow into sewer lines, leading to blockages, backups into your kitchen, foul odors, health code violations, and fines from your local sewer authority. In severe cases, FOG discharges can result in SCDHEC enforcement actions.
Do you service both small and large grease traps?
Yes. We service all sizes from small under-sink grease traps (20-50 gallons) to large in-ground grease interceptors (500-2,000+ gallons). Our equipment handles any commercial grease trap regardless of size or location.
