Grease Trap Pumping FAQs
How often should a grease trap be cleaned to stay compliant?
The frequency depends on several factors, including the size of your kitchen, how much fat, oil, and grease (FOG) you produce, and the capacity of your grease trap. Most commercial kitchens require cleaning every 1 to 3 months, though high-volume restaurants may need service as often as every week to stay compliant and prevent costly backups.
What are the signs that a grease trap needs service?
- Persistent foul odors in an otherwise clean kitchen
- Slow or gurgling drains
- Grease overflow around the trap lid
- Standing water near floor drains or sinks
If you notice any of these signs, it’s time to schedule a service before the issue worsens.
Will cleaning disrupt restaurant or business operations?
In most cases, no. Our technicians work efficiently to minimize any disruption.
The level of impact depends on the location of your grease trap—whether it’s inside, outside, or below ground. We can schedule service during off-hours to ensure your business keeps running smoothly.
Do you provide service records for health inspections and compliance?
Yes. After each service, AK Sewer & Drain provides a detailed invoice and service record that can be shared directly with your health inspector. We also keep a maintenance history on file, so you always have documentation showing you’re in compliance with local wastewater regulations.
What happens to the grease waste after it’s removed?
All grease waste is transported to a certified transfer station, where it is processed by the local wastewater utility in accordance with environmental and municipal standards.
This ensures proper disposal and helps protect the environment and local water systems.
How much does grease trap cleaning cost?
Pricing varies based on trap size, accessibility, and frequency of service. We provide transparent, upfront estimates before any work begins, so there are no surprises. For recurring clients, we also offer scheduled maintenance programs to simplify compliance and budgeting.
