American Rooter pumps grease traps for restaurants and all commercial kitchens. We also clean and maintain the commercial drains inside and outside of the building.

Cleaning a grease trap regularly is necessary to keep the grease trap clean and functioning properly. Too much grease or waste in the grease trap or grease interceptor will allow new grease to escape into the drain system for the building as well as the city sewer pipes.

Active 2011, all U.S. commercial kitchens are required to have grease traps installed indoors or outdoors. Grease traps reduce the amount of F.O.G. ( fats, oil, grease) from entering your building’s drain system. Your grease trap needs regular cleaning. 

Grease builds up in drains like cholesterol in arteries. The less grease in a drain pipe, the better. Grease clogs are costly to water jet and can flood the whole restaurant, including backing up in the bathroom or floor drains. Grease clogs can shut down operations temporarily until the restaurant drain is snaked or hydro-jetted to remove the grease from the drain.

It’s a good idea for restaurant managers to clean the grease waste out of the grease trap regularly and also to maintain the main sewer drain, kitchen sink drain pipes, grease trap drains, and floor drains. American Rooter is a professional drain company that is equipped to manage these drain maintenance programs whether the restaurant has a 10 gallon or 20,000 gallon grease trap. American Rooter can snake or hydrojet internal and external restaurant or kitchen drains to make sure your commercial kitchen stays operating. Don’t let a sewer or grease clog close down your restaurant. Call American Rooter, The Drain Experts™ today.
