Grease Trap Installation
in Little Rock, AR

You're about to open your dream restaurant in Little Rock. You've got your menu planned, your kitchen equipment ordered, and your staff hired. Then the health inspector tells you that you can't operate without a grease trap installed. No grease trap means no business license, no opening day, and no revenue until you fix the problem.

We're a local plumbing company that installs grease traps for new restaurants, food trucks, catering kitchens, and any commercial cooking operation in Little Rock. From cafés in Hillcrest to barbecue joints in Mabelvale, we know what the city requires and how to get your grease trap installed right the first time.

Grease Trap Installation in Little Rock: What You Need to Start Your Kitchen

Grease trap installation means putting in a containment system that catches fats, oils, and grease before they flow into the city sewer. Little Rock requires grease traps for any business that cooks food commercially. This includes restaurants, cafeterias, school kitchens, hospital kitchens, food trucks, bakeries that fry donuts, coffee shops with full kitchens, and catering operations.

The trap gets installed between your kitchen drains and the main sewer connection. All your sinks, floor drains, dishwashers, and any other drains that might carry grease must flow through the trap first. The trap holds wastewater long enough for grease to float to the top and get captured while cleaner water exits out the bottom to the sewer.

You have two main installation options. Indoor traps go under your kitchen floor or under a sink for smaller operations. These work well in tight urban spaces like downtown restaurants near the River Market District where outdoor space is limited. Outdoor traps get buried in your parking lot or yard and handle higher volumes for busy kitchens. Most full-service restaurants in areas like West Little Rock and Chenal Valley need outdoor traps because they produce more grease.

The size of your grease trap depends on your kitchen's size and what you're cooking. A small café serving sandwiches and salads needs a much smaller trap than a steakhouse with multiple fryers. The city calculates required trap size based on your kitchen equipment - how many sinks you have, whether you use fryers, if you have a dishwasher, and your total daily water flow. We help you figure out the right size so you pass inspection without paying for more trap than you need.

Why Local Matters
For Your Plumbing

You could call a big national chain. They'll probably charge you more and send someone who doesn't know Little Rock. Local plumbers understand that homes in Pulaski Heights have different plumbing than new builds in West Little Rock. They know which neighborhoods have hard water problems and which areas tend to have foundation shifts that affect plumbing.

When you call a local company, you get someone who answers the phone and can usually tell you right away what's probably happening and when they can get there. No automated system. No waiting on hold for 20 minutes.

Response times are better too. A local plumber is 15 minutes away, not coming from another city. If you've got a burst pipe or sewage backing up, those minutes matter. Plus, local companies know the city inspectors, understand Little Rock's specific codes, and can get permits processed faster. When you need plumbing work done right and done quickly, local is the way to go.
