How Often Should You Pump?

The general rule: pump when your trap reaches 25 percent capacity. For most restaurants:

  • High-volume kitchens (fried food, heavy grease) – Every 2-4 weeks
  • Average restaurants – Every 4-6 weeks
  • Low-volume operations (minimal frying) – Every 6-8 weeks

We help you establish the right schedule based on your actual grease production.

Warning Signs Your Trap Needs Service

  • Slow draining kitchen sinks
  • Bad odors coming from drains
  • Grease backing up into sinks
  • Visible grease overflow at the trap
  • Failed health inspection for grease trap issues
  • Flies or pests around drains

Sizing is set by New Orleans and Jefferson Parish health department requirements based on your fixture count and flow rate. If you’re not sure your current trap is correctly sized, we can inspect it and let you know, since an undersized trap fails faster and more often.

You could face fines, a required re-inspection, or in serious cases a temporary closure. If you’ve had an inspection issue, we can typically get you back into compliance quickly, often with same-visit cleaning and documentation you can show the inspector.

Yes, we service both. Larger outdoor interceptors need the same regular attention as indoor under-sink or floor-mounted traps, and we maintain both types on the same kind of schedule.

Yes, it’s one of the most common causes of a mid-shift kitchen backup. We offer 24/7 emergency grease trap service specifically because we know this can’t wait until tomorrow.
