Restaurant drain & grease services

Scheduled around your service hours.

Kitchen Drain Cleaning

Grease that gets past the trap cools and hardens inside the line. We clear clogged floor sinks, prep sinks, dish lines and mainlines, and we work around your service hours: early mornings, late nights or days you are closed.

Grease Trap & Interceptor Service

We pump and clean both indoor grease traps and in-ground interceptors, one time or on a recurring schedule matched to your kitchen's volume. After every visit you get service records for your files. More on our grease trap cleaning page.

Sewer Camera Inspections

Recurring backups can point to buildup, roots or a damaged pipe further down the line. A camera inspection shows us what is in there before we recommend the next step. See sewer camera inspection.

What the Cities Say

The rules depend on where your restaurant is. Always confirm your requirements with your city.

Los Angeles

"Under Section 64.30 of the Los Angeles Municipal Code, all Food Service Establishments (FSEs) generating grease waste must obtain an Industrial Wastewater Permit. Businesses are required to implement Kitchen Best Management Practices (BMPs) and operate approved grease removal devices, such as Gravity Grease Interceptors (GGIs) or Hydromechanical Grease Interceptors (HGIs)."

— LA Sanitation & Environment

Glendale

Grease interceptors "shall be fully pumped out and cleaned at a frequency such that the combined FOG and solids accumulation does not exceed 25% of the total hydraulic capacity of the grease interceptor… At the minimum, all grease interceptors shall be maintained not less than once every six months," and "quarterly when the maintenance frequency has not been established." Compliance records "must be retained on site by the food service establishment for a period of not less than three years."
