  • Grease traps are designed to trap organic waste, but as bacteria break down this waste, it will release foul odors. If it’s not cleaned regularly, you may notice noxious smells. At that point, it’s time to call Mr. Rooter® for our restaurant grease trap services.

  • If you have wastewater backing up into your sink or pooling around the unit, you should get it serviced immediately. Such issues tend to be more common in high-traffic restaurants, which is why we recommend more regular cleanings, but they can occur in all businesses with grease traps fitted.

  • You might be able to ignore the foul smells and even the wastewater, but the local pests won’t, and they will flock around that grease trap to feast on the decaying organic waste. The longer you delay, the bigger the problem will become. So, call for commercial grease trap services in Austin, TX, as soon as you notice any pests.

Commercial Kitchen Grease Trap Installation

We offer grease trap installation throughout Austin, TX, and can ensure fully code-compliant installations while also giving you a grease trap designed around your specific business needs. Grease traps protect your drains, and if you run a food preparation business in the city, they are required by law.

Grease traps prevent fat, oil, and grease from entering the sewers, where they can create blockages that wreak havoc on municipal systems. They must be professionally installed and properly maintained, and you’ll also need documentation proving they were properly cleaned. We can help with all of this, while also conducting necessary repairs and keeping your business clean and legal.

Commercial Grease Trap Repair for Austin Food Businesses

A commercial kitchen should clean its grease traps every 1 to 3 months, depending on usage. High-volume restaurants may need a monthly cleaning. Smaller eateries can typically get by with scheduling a cleaning every quarter or so.

If you’re not sure how frequently your grease trap needs to be cleaned, or what kind of maintenance it requires, give our experts a call. We provide commercial grease trap cleaning throughout Austin, TX. We have both large and small food preparation businesses on our books. We’ll discuss your options and recommend a maintenance schedule, and we’ll also be available for all grease trap repairs.

How to Prevent Grease-Related Problems in Your Business

Installing a grease trap will only go some way toward preventing grease-related issues such as foul odors and backups. You need to make sure it’s properly cleaned and serviced. You should also install drain strainers and making sure you don’t pour fat, oil, or grease down the drain. Put food waste in the trash and dry-wipe all food and debris from pots and plates before washing them.

Educate your employees on these proper waste disposal practices. Ensure everyone in your kitchen is doing what they can to keep your drains clean.
