Commercial Grease Trap Cleaning and Installation Services

All commercial kitchens need working grease traps to prevent fats, oil, and grease (FOG) from being washed down the drain.  If these materials end up in the sewer system, they can pollute the natural environment and cause damage within the sewer.  You can also get fined for washing FOG down the drain as this may violate municipal codes.

Grease traps separate FOG from the water using a system of baffles and store these materials within the trap.  As the FOG accumulates, the risk of a clog increases.  It is important to have the grease traps cleaned out regularly to prevent clogs and other issues.

If your grease traps are not cleaned out on a regular basis, you could experience the following problems:

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

The grease trap installation, maintenance, and cleaning services from Mahoney Environmental include the following:

• Regular maintenance: We can provide regular maintenance to check the condition of the traps and provide cleaning and repairs when needed.
• Cleaning and repair: We can remove built up FOG to clean the traps and provide the necessary repairs when there is a problem.
• Rodding and jetting: We can remove clogs by rotting and jetting the traps.
• Inspection report: An inspection report is provided to you on each visit.
• History reports: Documenting our inspections and the work we do on your traps will create a history that will help us anticipate needed maintenance and potential issues.
• Emergency 24/7 cleanup: We provide emergency response 24 hours a day to clean and repair your traps and minimize disruptions to your business.
• Compliance with municipal and state regulations: It is against state and municipal codes to wash FOG down the drain. Keeping your grease traps clean and in working order will keep you in compliance with these codes and prevent fines or business closures from violations.
