Grease Trap Cleaning Service in Los Angeles

All food servicing establishments must install either a grease trap or grease interceptor to prevent commercial kitchen fats, oils, grease, and solid food (FOGS) waste from entering the city sanitation system. Both devices must be maintained and cleaned regularly to prevent major drainage issues and citations by the local municipality. Cleaning a grease trap or grease interceptor is performed by a licensed hauler that has proper equipment and a source of disposal.

Service Description

 Cleaning a grease trap consist of removing all waste inside the device. It is a requirement that all food service establishments actively clean these devices to help prevent city sewer sanitation overflows. All fats, oils, grease, and solids must be removed, hauled, and disposed of at an approved waste disposal site by a licensed grease hauler. Failing to comply can lead to citation, fines, or closure. 

What's A Grease Trap

A grease trap is plumbing device designed to intercept the bulk of greases and food solids coming from the commercial kitchen. Its purpose is to gravity settle FOGS using water to drastically reduce the amount of waste from entering the public sewer sanitary lines. Grease traps are considered the heart of the kitchen and without proper maintenance can lead to major plumbing issues.

Grease Trap Waste Source

The source of grease trap waste originates from plumbing drainage connected to the grease trap. Most, if not all, commercial kitchen floor drains, sinks or dishwashers link to the grease trap. From FOGS polluted waste liquids stemming from washing pots, pans, utensils, flat grills, etc.. to harsh cleaning liquid products used to clean the floors or kitchen equipment, those waste eventually goes into the grease trap.

Grease Trap Cleaning Cost

Cleaning a grease trap can vary in cost based on the size, condition, accessibility, etc. Grease traps that are poorly maintained and have excessive FOGS content, harder to access, or in need of emergency service can be higher in cost versus one’s that are on a preventative, scheduled maintenance program.
