Grease Trap Cleaning

Grease Trap Cleaning in Springfield, MA

Keeping Your Kitchen Safe, Clean, and Efficient

At Wind River Environmental of Springfield, MA, we understand how important it is for your commercial kitchen to stay clean, compliant, and running without interruptions. Backed by over 75 years of experience, we provide 24/7 grease trap cleaning services you can rely on. 

While many companies only scoop out the top layer of grease, we go the extra mile by fully pumping down your grease trap to remove all waste and debris. Our thorough approach keeps your system operating efficiently and helps you avoid costly problems down the road.

Why Regular Grease Trap Cleaning Is Essential

Grease traps are designed to capture fats, oils, and grease (FOG) before they enter your plumbing and sewer system. Without regular cleaning, these materials accumulate and harden, leading to clogs, foul odors, backups, and even penalties from local health inspectors. 

Routine professional cleaning is key to preventing these issues. By staying on top of your grease trap maintenance, you protect your business from unexpected disruptions, expensive repairs, and non-compliance risks.

The Types of Grease Traps We Service

Every commercial kitchen has unique needs, and we’re equipped to clean a wide range of grease management systems:

  • Outside Grease Tanks: These large, underground tanks collect grease and wastewater from your kitchen. We have the expertise and equipment to pump them out completely, preventing overflows and keeping your system compliant.
  • Indoor Grease Interceptors: Located beneath sinks or inside your kitchen, these smaller units need frequent cleaning to avoid blockages. 
  • Indirect Waste Pit and Drainage Systems: These systems handle grease and waste from floor drains and dishwashing stations. 

How Often Should a Grease Trap Be Cleaned?

This depends on the size of your trap, the volume of your kitchen, and local regulations. Most commercial kitchens should schedule grease trap cleanings every one to three months. High-volume kitchens, such as busy restaurants or cafeterias, may need more frequent service to stay compliant and avoid issues.

What Happens If You Skip Cleanings?

Ignoring grease trap maintenance can have serious consequences. Over time, grease buildup leads to slow drainage, unpleasant odors, and costly backups. Blocked pipes can result in downtime, lost revenue, and emergency repairs. You may also face fines or penalties from health and environmental agencies for failing to maintain your system. Regular professional cleaning is the best way to avoid these risks and keep your kitchen operating smoothly.
