Commercial Grease Trap Services

The frequency depends on your grease trap size and daily volume of grease production. Most commercial grease traps should be pumped every 1-3 months. High-volume restaurants (especially full-service establishments) may need service as frequently as every 2-4 weeks. Fort Worth's city code requires regular maintenance based on your establishment's size and food service type. We recommend scheduling a professional inspection to determine the optimal service interval for your specific operation.

Fort Worth requires commercial food service establishments to maintain properly operating grease traps that comply with the City's Fats, Oils & Grease (FOG) program. All grease trap maintenance must be documented and performed by licensed professionals. Grease traps must be sized appropriately for the establishment's operations, and waste must be disposed of through permitted waste disposal services. Facilities are subject to health department inspections to verify compliance. Non-compliance can result in fines, permits holds, or business closure orders. We provide complete documentation with every service to ensure your compliance.

Neglected grease traps can cause serious operational and legal problems. Grease buildup leads to overflows, backed-up drains, and foul odors that shut down your kitchen operations. Untreated wastewater can damage municipal sewer systems, leading to fines from the City of Fort Worth. Failed health inspections due to grease trap issues can result in citations or temporary closures. Additionally, improper grease disposal can contaminate groundwater and soil. You may face substantial environmental cleanup costs and legal liability. Regular, documented maintenance prevents these costly problems and keeps your business compliant and operational.
