Grease Trap Pump-Out Services

Importance of Pump-Out Services

1. Prevents Clogs and Backups
   Accumulated grease and solids can obstruct kitchen drains or sewer lines. Regular pump-outs ensure the trap continues to capture FOG effectively, preventing blockages.
2. Maintains Hygiene and Odor Control
   Standing grease can emit foul odors and attract pests. Pump-outs remove these wastes, maintaining a sanitary environment in the kitchen.
3. Regulatory Compliance
   Many municipalities require regular grease trap pump-outs to adhere to environmental and health codes. Professional services help businesses remain compliant and avoid fines.
