Grease Trap Service & Installation in Gaithersburg

Ensuring the Safety of Your Employees, Customers & Tenants

If you run a local restaurant, you know that you have to maintain the highest standards to keep up with the health codes. Nowhere is that more important than the grease traps in your restaurant. They’re responsible for catching and containing all the fats, oils and grease poured down your drain, and without periodic cleaning and proper repairs, they could leave you in a bad spot very quickly. Dangers of dirty or poorly maintained grease traps include bad odors, clogs, health hazards, kitchen fires, and much more.

We’ll also be there with repair service in the event of a breakdown and thorough maintenance service (including speedy maintenance if you need to make sure your system is still up to code). Finally, when you’re ready for a new grease trap, our team will be there in a flash to make it happen.

How Do Grease Traps Work?

A grease trap is essentially a tank where wastewater from your restaurant collects as it is washed down your drain. Solid foods settle to the bottom while fats, oils, and grease (referred to as FOG in our industry) float to the top. In the middle sits the effluent wastewater, which can be safely pumped out of the tank and into the civic sewer system. Grease traps work exceptionally well in keeping FOG from clogging your pipes, but they need to be cleaned out periodically, and when problems arise, they’re not something you can afford to wait on.
