What Is Grease Trap Pumping & Cleaning?
{"heading": "What Is Grease Trap Pumping?", "body": "Grease trap pumping involves removing accumulated fats, oils, and grease from the interceptor tank installed between your kitchen drains and the municipal sewer connection. The trap must be pumped before FOG accumulation exceeds 25% of the tank capacity per Clark County regulations. Pumping includes removing all contents, scraping the baffles and walls, and flushing the inlet and outlet lines to restore full flow. We haul the waste to licensed disposal facilities."}

Costs & Timelines - What to Expect
Grease trap pumping costs depend on trap size and condition. Standard restaurant grease traps (50-100 gallon) typically cost $250 to $450 per pump-out. Larger commercial interceptors (500-2000 gallon) range from $500 to $1,200. Emergency pump-outs during business hours carry a premium. Scheduled maintenance programs offer reduced per-service pricing. We provide free estimates for new commercial accounts.
Methods, Materials & Quality Standards
We use commercial vacuum trucks rated for FOG and sewage waste extraction. Pump-out includes mechanical scraping of baffles and trap walls that vacuum alone cannot clean. Inlet and outlet lines are flushed with high-pressure water to clear any buildup in the connecting pipes. All waste is transported in sealed tanks to Clark County licensed disposal facilities.
