Grease Trap Pumping

Grease Trap Pumping in Liberty, MS

Commercial grease trap cleaning to keep your kitchen drains clear and code-compliant.

Grease Trap Pumping

Restaurants, cafeterias, and any commercial kitchen with a grease interceptor need it pumped regularly. Grease traps catch fats, oils, and grease before they reach the sewer or septic system. When the trap fills past its working capacity, grease passes through and clogs downstream pipes, and the kitchen starts smelling like old cooking oil. Reynolds Pumping cleans commercial grease traps across Mississippi and Louisiana.

How grease trap pumping works

The vacuum truck draws out the full contents of the trap: the floating grease layer, the water in the middle, and the food solids that settle at the bottom. Chase scrapes the baffles and walls, flushes the inlet and outlet, and confirms flow through the trap before closing it back up. The waste is hauled to a permitted disposal facility.

Pumping frequency

Most commercial kitchens need their grease trap pumped every 1 to 3 months, depending on volume. A busy restaurant producing high volumes of fried food may need monthly service. The 25% rule is standard: when grease and solids fill more than a quarter of the trap's total depth, it is time to pump. Reynolds Pumping can set up a recurring schedule so the kitchen never has to track it.

Code compliance

Local health departments and municipal sewer authorities require grease traps to be maintained on a regular schedule. A clogged or overflowing trap can result in fines, a sewer backup into the kitchen, or a failed health inspection. Reynolds Pumping provides a service record for each pump-out that the restaurant can keep on file for inspectors.
