Restaurant Grease Trap Cleaning and Maintenance

For any foodservice business, a properly functioning grease trap is key to preventing plumbing disasters and meeting local code requirements. Grease traps prevent fats, oils, and grease (FOG) from entering the sewage system, where they can clog pipes, damage infrastructure, and pollute the environment. Washing FOG down the drain can also result in costly penalties.

Inside a grease trap, baffles separate FOG from wastewater, storing it for later removal. Without scheduled maintenance, this buildup can lead to serious issues, including:

• Flooding in the kitchen
• Contamination and health issues
• Foul odors
• Expensive remediation services
• Business closure
• Fines

Foodservice businesses can count on Mahoney Environmental to keep grease traps working efficiently with our specialized cleaning and maintenance solutions. From routine service and repairs to new system design and installation, our professionals handle every aspect of grease trap care. Our maintenance program includes:

• Routine maintenance: We can provide routine maintenance to keep your grease traps in working order and inspect them for potential problems.
