Grease Trap Cleaning
ADEQ-compliant grease trap cleaning for Phoenix restaurants, commercial kitchens, and food service businesses. Scheduled maintenance and on-call service available.
What Is a Grease Trap?
A grease trap (also called a grease interceptor) is a plumbing device designed to intercept fats, oils, and grease (FOG) before they enter the wastewater disposal system. Grease traps are required for most commercial kitchens and food service establishments.
When FOG enters wastewater lines, it cools and solidifies, causing blockages and backups that can lead to costly repairs, health code violations, and environmental contamination. Your grease trap prevents these problems by capturing FOG at the source.
The Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) regulates and monitors businesses for grease trap compliance. Regular cleaning is not optional — it is a legal requirement for food service businesses in the Phoenix Metro area.

Why Regular Cleaning Matters
Neglected grease traps are one of the leading causes of commercial plumbing failures. When FOG builds up beyond capacity, it bypasses the trap entirely and enters the sewer system — putting your business at risk.
ADEQ requires food service businesses to maintain their grease traps and keep records of all service. Failure to comply can result in fines, forced closures, and costly emergency repairs.
Regular cleaning also extends the life of your grease trap, prevents foul odors in your kitchen, and keeps your drainage lines clear and flowing properly.
Consequences of Neglect
ADEQ Fines & Violations
Non-compliant businesses face regulatory fines and potential forced closure until the issue is resolved.
Sewer Line Blockages
Grease buildup in your lines leads to backups that can shut down your kitchen and disrupt business operations.
Costly Emergency Repairs
A neglected trap can cause pipe damage that requires expensive excavation and replacement work.
Health Code Issues
Overflowing grease traps create unsanitary conditions that can trigger health department action.
