For grease traps inside the kitchen, our certified technicians will vacuum, clean, and dispose of the accumulated fats, oils, and grease. This combined service is of great benefit to owners of commercial kitchens. With the safe disposal of grease and oils, kitchen operations can continue without endangering the plumbing, municipal water supplies, or your septic system.

Recycle Used Oil

In addition to grease trap cleaning, we will take away used cooking oil for collection and recycling as biofuel. This environmentally approved process utilizes used cooking oil to reduce the amount of petroleum needed for engine fuels.

Understanding Grease Traps and Tanks

While there are several kinds of grease traps and tanks, they all serve the same purpose, to remove harmful fats, oils, and grease from our water supply and soils. This process also removes these fats and food solids from the plumbing system and, ultimately, prevents them from taking up room in the septic tank, or in the municipal water and sewage system. Whether your wastewater is recycled through a leach field or by passing through a wastewater treatment plant, leftover fats, oils, and grease can create clogs, and serve as hosts for bacteria to grow and pollute water and soil.

With regular grease trap cleaning and grease tank pumping services, commercial kitchens can avoid adding harmful compounds to the environment. And by trapping fat solids and keeping them out of the flow of wastewater, kitchen workers are also preventing the plumbing and septic system from becoming coated and clogged with grease. Atlantic Sitton Services has experience with grease trap cleaning and grease tank pumping. We use modern equipment and knowledgeable technicians to remove harmful fats from kitchen, plumbing, and septic systems.

Signs Your Grease Trap Needs to be Cleaned

There are several signs that grease traps and tanks need to be cleaned. However, it is best to have a service contract in place with qualified professionals before these signs become noticeable. Atlantic Sitton Services offers emergency services to customers who are having problems with the following:

Clogged or Slow Moving Drains

If the water is moving more slowly, it’s likely because pipes have become coated with fats, oils, and grease, or that a clog has formed in the system.

Noticeable Bad Odor

Foul odors back up from overfull grease traps and grease tanks. Bad smells can also indicate that there is a clog or blockage in the system.

Grease in Unusual Places

If grease is not contained in the traps or tank, then it will spread around in the sinks and other surfaces of your commercial kitchen. It can also show up in other rooms if the wastewater is unable to flow properly, due to grease filling the traps and tanks above a safe level.
