Grease TrapsGrease traps are an essential part of a food service’s sewer and drainage system. By preventing grease from going into your drains, this helps keeping sewer lines free of any problems. Once full, it allows grease to get into the system, causing grease build up that will cause a clog or worse.
Some Commissions and Health Boards require these traps be cleaned on a monthly basis or filled to a certain extent. |
How We Clean Grease Traps
Some companies will just simply dump out the grease from the trap NOT ACCEPTABLE! Grease Traps Need to be emptied AND cleaned to function they way they are supposed too. We clean the grease traps, remove the dividers and snake the line just because we want to make sure there are no issues coming or already happening.
Schedule Regular Grease Trap Cleaning
It’s not if you need it cleaned, but when and how many time your grease traps need to be cleaned. By scheduling regular cleanings you avoid shut downs and delays. Whether you have a small grease trap or a huge one, we will work with you to create a plan to avoid any of the bad situations.
Bathroom ClogsBathroom sinks and toilets can and will clog whether its because of using too much toilet paper, feminine products or even worse. By using the standard plunger will take care of the basic toilet clogs. But for the larger nasty problems, call us for emergency 24 hour service.
How we’ll unclog your toilet or sinkEach of our technicians is equipped with a commercial grade electric snake machine. This machine uses a metal cable to enter the drain line and break through the clog. The motors spins the cable as it pushes forward, allowing it to build torque which helps break through tough clogs.

Kitchen SinksKitchen sinks are the biggest parts of the food service kitchen and need to be working properly.
And they’re also the most likely to be used for dumping food scraps that aren’t good for your drainage lines. And we receive a number of calls to clean clogs in food service kitchens around the area. A clogged sink means a disruption, and there’s certainly no good time for that to happen especially to a lunch or dinner rush on a Friday night. So, don’t wait for the emergency to happen, we will come to you and clear the clog, and help you take precautions so this won't happened again. |
