Grease interceptors capture fats, oils, and grease (FOG) before they enter the sewer system. King County requires commercial food establishments to maintain their grease interceptors so that FOG levels don't exceed 25% of the trap's capacity. When a grease trap is neglected, FOG bypasses the trap and coats drain lines, building up until the kitchen drain backs up — often during dinner service. A backed-up kitchen is a health code violation, a slip hazard, and a revenue loss. Repeated FOG discharge into the sewer can also result in King County enforcement action and fines.
We pump and clean your grease trap on a regular schedule — typically every 2 to 3 months for most Kirkland restaurants, monthly for high-volume kitchens. Each service is documented with pumping date, volume removed, and interceptor condition — exactly what health inspectors ask to see. After pumping, we inspect the baffles, inlet and outlet connections, and flow pattern to ensure the interceptor is capturing FOG properly. If the trap is damaged or undersized, we provide repair or replacement options.
We set a pumping frequency based on your kitchen's output — monthly, bi-monthly, or quarterly. Scheduled before or after service hours.
We pump all grease, solids, and water from the interceptor, scrape the walls and baffles, and clean the inlet and outlet openings.
We check baffles, seals, and connections for damage. A damaged baffle means FOG is bypassing the trap — we repair or recommend replacement.
You receive a service report with the date, volume removed, interceptor condition, and any recommended maintenance — ready for your health inspection file.
Don't wait for the kitchen drain to back up or the health inspector to notice. Call for scheduled grease trap service.
