Professional Grease Trap Cleaning in Atlanta

A common rule says a trap should be cleaned when grease and solids reach 25 percent of its operating depth. Cities and counties may also set a cleaning schedule of their own.

Georgia sets grease rules locally. The City of Atlanta permits food service facilities through its Grease Management Program, and other cities and counties set their own rules. Plumbing changes around a trap can call for plumbing repair.

Trap size, how full it is, how often it is cleaned, how easy it is to reach, and how much waste it holds all change the price. Larger exterior interceptors take more time than small interior traps. Get a free estimate

The City of Atlanta says fats, oil, and grease from food service facilities contribute to more than half of the blockages and overflows in its wastewater collection system. Grease that cools sticks to pipe walls and narrows the line. A blockage may then call for clog removal or a line repair.

In the City of Atlanta, all food service facilities, including restaurants, schools, nursing homes, and day cares, must hold a grease management permit and allow inspection. Rules in other cities and counties differ, so ask the local water utility. A kitchen with repeat clogs may also need professional drain cleaning.
