About this service
What Grease Trap Cleaning Greer SC Actually Involves
Grease trap cleaning Greer SC is the process of pumping out accumulated fats, oils, and grease, scraping the baffles and walls, and hauling the waste to a permitted disposal facility. We open the lid, measure the grease cap and solids layer, pump the tank down, then scrape the sides and baffles so the trap works the way it was designed. Most restaurant traps hold 500 to 2,000 gallons, and a full pump-out takes 45 to 90 minutes depending on access and buildup.
Greer kitchens run hard. Between fried chicken, burgers, and Sunday brunch crowds, FOG hits the trap faster than most owners expect. When the grease cap gets thick enough, wastewater short-circuits straight to your floor drains and sewer line. If you're searching for grease trap pumping Greer SC because your trap smells or your three-compartment sink is draining slow, that's usually the first sign the trap is past due. We also handle grease trap cleaning near me Greer calls for smaller cafes and food trucks with 50-gallon traps.

What's included
What Our Grease Trap Cleaning Service Includes
Every grease trap cleaning Greer SC visit covers the full job: pumping, scraping, inspection, and disposal. We don't charge extra for baffle scraping or line checks. Here's what you get when we show up.
Baffle and Wall Scraping
Pumping alone leaves grease stuck to the walls and baffles. We scrape them clean by hand so the trap separates FOG properly. This step is what separates a real cleaning from a quick pump-and-go.
Inlet and Outlet Check
We inspect the inlet and outlet tees for blockages and grease dams. If flow is restricted, we jet the line with a sewer jetter hose. Catching a partial blockage now prevents a full backup later.
Lid and Gasket Inspection
Cracked lids and worn gaskets let odors escape and rainwater in. We check both and let you know if replacement is needed. A tight lid keeps your kitchen smelling clean and your trap working.
Permitted Disposal
We haul every gallon of FOG waste to a permitted disposal facility and leave you a dated service tag. You get documentation for your records and proof of proper disposal for Greenville County.
Area Cleanup
Before we leave, we wipe down the lid, rinse the surrounding floor, and remove our containment mats. Your kitchen goes back to normal. No grease trails, no mess, no lingering odor.
How it works
Our Grease Trap Cleaning Process Step by Step
Call (864)403-1974 and tell us your trap size, location, and how long it's been since the last pump-out. We ask about access, lid type, and whether you're on a septic or city sewer. Takes about five minutes, and we quote a flat price before we hang up.
Our vacuum truck arrives with a grease trap pump, sewer jetter hose, and hand tools. We park as close to the trap as access allows, lay down containment mats, and open the lid. Most residential and small commercial traps are accessible within 15 minutes of arrival.
We measure the grease cap, solids, and liquid levels before pumping. Then we vacuum the tank down, working the hose into corners and around baffles. A 1,000-gallon trap typically pumps out in 30 to 45 minutes. We keep the hose clear with a sewer jetter hose when sludge is heavy.
Pumping alone leaves grease on the walls and baffles. We scrape the sides, clean the baffles, and check the inlet and outlet tees for blockages. If we spot a cracked lid, damaged baffle, or root intrusion in the line, we show you the problem before we close up.
We haul the FOG waste to a permitted treatment facility and leave you a dated service tag with the volume pumped. You get a receipt for your records. Then we close the lid, wipe down the area, and you're back in business.

Tools & methods
Tools and Methods We Use for Grease Trap Cleaning
Grease Trap Pump
Our vacuum trucks use a high-capacity grease trap pump to pull grease, liquids, and solids from the tank. It handles 50-gallon to 2,000-gallon traps and empties a standard trap in 30 to 45 minutes.
Sewer Jetter Hose
We use a sewer jetter hose with a rotating nozzle to blast grease off pipe walls after pumping. It clears the inlet and outlet lines so your trap drains properly and doesn't back up.
Drain Auger and Plumber's Snake
For kitchen sink and floor drain clogs, we use a drain auger or plumber's snake to break up blockages. Ridgid and Milwaukee augers handle the tight turns in commercial kitchen lines.
Sewer Camera and Inspection Crawler
When we need to see inside the line, we run a sewer camera or inspection crawler. It shows grease buildup, root intrusion, and pipe damage so we can recommend the right fix.
Rooter Machine
A rooter machine cuts through roots and heavy grease in main lines. We use Spartan Tool and General Pipe Cleaners rooters when jetting alone won't clear the blockage.
Enzyme Drain Cleaner
After pumping, we treat lines with enzyme drain cleaner to break down residual grease and odor-causing bacteria. It's a safe, non-corrosive way to keep lines clean between visits.
Real results
Before and after.
Grease Trap Cleaning
Overflowing Trap at a Downtown Greer Restaurant
A 1,000-gallon trap at a downtown Greer restaurant was overflowing into the kitchen. The grease cap was six inches thick, and the outlet tee was completely blocked. The kitchen had been closed for two hours when we arrived.
After: We pumped the full 1,000 gallons, scraped the baffles, and jetted the outlet line. The kitchen reopened 90 minutes later. The owner signed up for a six-week pumping schedule, and the trap hasn't overflowed since.
