Proudly Serving NEPA & Catskills Regions - Call Anytime!
Running a commercial kitchen means staying on top of grease management. At Koberlein, A Wind River Company, we provide thorough grease trap cleaning services to ensure your business remains compliant, efficient, and free of costly plumbing issues. Unlike many companies that only scoop out the top layer of grease, we fully pump down your grease trap—removing all grease, solids, and wastewater to keep your system running smoothly. With 24/7 availability, we’re here whenever you need us to keep your kitchen in top shape.
The Importance of Regular Cleaning
Grease traps are essential for preventing fats, oils, and grease (FOG) from clogging your plumbing and causing backups. Over time, grease buildup can lead to foul odors, slow drainage, and even fines for non-compliance with local regulations. Regular cleaning not only keeps your kitchen hygienic and operational but also extends the lifespan of your grease trap. By scheduling routine maintenance, you can avoid emergency repairs and costly downtime that can disrupt your business.

Types of Grease Traps We Clean
- Outside Grease Tanks: These large-capacity traps are typically found underground and collect grease from multiple kitchen fixtures. They require professional pumping and thorough cleaning to prevent buildup and blockages.
- Indoor Grease Interceptors: Common in commercial kitchens, these traps are located under sinks or in utility areas. They need frequent maintenance to ensure they effectively separate grease from wastewater.
- Indirect Waste Pit and Drainage Systems: These systems handle wastewater from dishwashers, floor drains, and food prep areas. Keeping them clean is crucial to prevent clogs and maintain proper drainage.
