Keeping kitchen drains clear

A grease trap catches the fats, oils, and grease that pour off a commercial kitchen before they reach the sewer or septic system. Left alone, that grease hardens, builds up, and eventually causes slow drains, foul odors, and backups that can shut a kitchen down at the worst possible time. Regular grease trap pumping removes the accumulated grease and food solids and keeps the trap working the way it was designed to.

Conroe's growth has brought more restaurants, cafes, and food service kitchens to the area, and each one relies on its trap staying clear during busy service. Hot weather can make grease behave unpredictably in the line, so a consistent pumping schedule matters more than reacting after a slow drain appears. We work with each kitchen to set an interval that matches its volume rather than a one-size-fits-all guess.

For businesses that run on a septic system, grease trap service works alongside septic tank pumping, and if a backup does hit during service hours our septic emergency service can respond.

What grease trap service covers

A proper cleanout is more than skimming the top of the trap.

Full pump-out

We remove the grease cap, the settled solids, and the liquid so the trap is fully emptied, not just skimmed at the surface.

Scrape and check

We scrape hardened grease from the walls and baffles and confirm the trap's components are intact and doing their job.

Scheduled service

We set a pumping interval matched to your kitchen's volume, so buildup never reaches the point of slow drains or a backup during service.

Records for compliance

We document each cleanout so you have a service record on hand for your files and local requirements.

Frequently asked questions

How often should a grease trap be pumped?

It depends on the trap size and how much grease your kitchen produces. Busy kitchens often need monthly service, while lighter operations can go longer. We set the interval based on your actual volume so the trap never overflows into the line.

What happens if I skip grease trap pumping?

Grease keeps building until it restricts or blocks the drain, causing slow sinks, odors, and eventually a backup that can force a kitchen to close. Regular pumping avoids the emergency and the lost service time that comes with it.

Do you keep service records?

Yes. We document each cleanout with the date and what was removed, so you have a record on hand for your files and any local requirements that apply to your business.

Can you service traps for smaller food businesses?

Yes. Cafes, food trucks with fixed traps, and small kitchens all benefit from scheduled service. We match the interval to the size of the operation rather than treating every kitchen the same.
