What is a Grease Trap?
A grease trap is a device that prevents fats, oils and grease (FOG) from entering the waterways. Grease traps are containers that intercept grease where grease floats to the top and heavier solid materials falls to the bottom. Grease and solids like food material stay in the trap while the remaining water flows out.
Grease traps and grease interceptors are located under commercial kitchen sinks or outside between the building and the main sewer line with the trap underground and locked down for safety with manhole covers.

How Our Grease Trap Service Works
Grease traps must be cleaned according to a schedule defined in municipal guidelines and regulations. Grease traps contain grease, fats, oils and food solids in the grease trap compartments to prevent them from entering the main sewer line.
Grease rises to the top and is skimmed off using a small bucket or is pumped out with a mechanical pump that is sometimes portable and sometimes connected to a truck that is specially designed for grease trap pumping and cleaning. After liquid is removed, solidified grease on the walls and baffles is scraped. The grease trap is cleaned and rinsed with soap and hot water.
Professional Grease Trap Inspection
ARP Environmental will dispatch one of our professional team members to your site where they will do a visual inspection and take measurements of the grease trap dimensions and grease thickness in order to provide you with the best solution.
Modern Heavy Duty Grease Pumper Truck
Once approved, our technicians emulsify grease within the trap by mechanical means. We will use our heavy duty grease vacuum removal truck to clear your grease basin and trap of grease, sludge and debris. Once the grease basin is cleared, technicians perform a visual inspection.
The grease trap techs will then run an incoming water flow test to ensure trouble free service until the next scheduled pumping. ARP Environmental has a dedicated grease pumping truck for efficient grease removal and disposal.

Lack of proper grease trap maintenance can lead to multiple backups, added expense and costly fines. An overfilled grease trap can send excessive amounts of grease into the sewer pipe main line causing frequent sewer backups.
The most important reason for regular grease trap service is to keep fats, oil and grease from contaminating the sanitary water system.
We also provide related drain and sewer services that include sewer line cleaning, hydrojetting, sewer repair, sewer line inspection and drain cleaning.
