Grease Trap Cleaning in Boston, MA

Massachusetts state laws and regulations label grease traps as an essential measure for preserving sewer systems and the environment. The Board of State Examiners of Plumbers and Gas Fitters has mandated that commercial establishments which produce oils, grease, fats, and solids utilize a grease trap interceptor. These grease traps must meet Massachusetts code 310 Mass. Reg. 15.230 requirements.

We have vacuum trailers suitable for high-volume commercial septic tanks, as well as vacuum pumps suited for smaller drain-pumping applications.

Why Proper Grease Trap Maintenance Is Important

Without proper maintenance, grease traps can leak oils and fat into sewage systems, which causes obstructions and sewage back-up. This can have a significant negative impact on an establishment’s sanitation while also resulting in lengthy downtime and unexpected plumbing expenses. For these reasons, it is critical to keep grease traps clean and well-maintained to avoid possible damage and extra costs.

Proper grease trap maintenance includes the following steps:

Emptying the trap completely from top to bottom
Scraping all surfaces of the trap during cleaning, including the baffles and the bottom
Inspecting the trap carefully for signs of wear and replacing damaged components promptly

Service Pumping & Drain Co. has a long record of success providing field services in Massachusetts and Southern New Hampshire. We have the equipment and expertise to provide you with excellent preventative care and maintenance. Your grease traps will get thoroughly cleaned with our high-pressure water jetting equipment, which generates a force capacity of up to 4,000 PSI.

An important part of cleaning grease traps involves inspecting components such as baskets, screens, and gaskets for rust, damage, or signs of wear. Businesses should comply with state and federal grease trap laws, most of which require maintenance every 90, 60, or 30 days. It’s always a good idea to choose preventative maintenance rather than waiting until a grease trap malfunctions.
