Grease Trap Service & Installation
Health-department-compliant grease interceptor service and new installs for restaurants, ghost kitchens, and food halls across San Diego.
About this service
A grease trap that isn't serviced or sized correctly is a health inspection problem, a backup problem, and a fine. We handle scheduled pump-outs, deep cleans, repairs, and full new interceptor installs for restaurants across San Diego County — sized to your fixture count and your city's FOG (fats, oils, grease) ordinance.
For new builds and tenant improvements, we handle the whole scope: sizing per plumbing code, permitting, install of the interceptor (under-sink or in-ground), and the discharge line back to the sanitary sewer. For existing restaurants, we set up scheduled service intervals so your trap never becomes an emergency.
We also document each service with weight tickets and manifests so you have proof for the health inspector and your franchise or corporate office.
