FAQ
Grease Trap Cleaning FAQ
Straight answers about grease trap cleaning in Waco, TX.
Still have a question? Talk to a real person.
Call 508-816-1101How often should a grease trap be cleaned?
In Waco, the city grease ordinance requires traps and interceptors to be fully emptied at least every 90 days, and sooner once floating grease and settled solids reach 25 percent of the wetted height. High-volume kitchens often need monthly service. Other cities set their own rules.
Do you provide paperwork for inspections?
Yes. Waco requires a manifest for every grease trap pump-out, and businesses must keep manifests for five years. We provide yours after each visit showing the date, volume removed and disposal site, so you are ready when the city’s Environmental Compliance team asks.
Can you clean our grease trap outside business hours?
Yes. We schedule early morning, late night and weekend visits so your kitchen, staff and customers are not disrupted. Tell us your preferred window when we set up your schedule.
How much does grease trap cleaning cost?
A typical service costs [$X–$Y], depending mainly on trap size, how often it is cleaned and its condition. Regular schedules usually lower the cost per visit. We give you a written price for your location before the first service.
What happens if a grease trap is not cleaned?
Grease builds up, drains slow down and odours spread through the kitchen. Eventually grease can pass into the sewer and cause blockages, which can lead to backups, fines or surcharges from the utility. Regular cleaning prevents all of that.
