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.
Signs You Need Grease Trap Installation
You're adding cooking equipment to an existing business. Maybe you operated as a coffee shop and now you want to add a full breakfast menu with a griddle. Or you're adding fryers to your kitchen. When you increase your grease production, you might need a bigger trap or need to add a trap if you didn't have one before.
You're converting a retail space into a restaurant. The building might have never had food service before, which means no grease trap exists. You need installation from scratch before you can start cooking.
Your current setup uses under-sink traps but your business has grown. Those small traps can't handle your kitchen's volume anymore. You're pumping them constantly and still getting backups. You need a larger outdoor trap installed to match your current operation size.
The health inspector failed you because your grease trap is inadequate or nonexistent. They won't let you operate until you install a proper trap that meets current code requirements. This happens with older restaurants that have outdated systems or businesses that expanded without upgrading their grease control.
You're buying or leasing a building where the previous tenant removed the grease trap. Sometimes when a restaurant closes, equipment gets removed. If the trap is gone or damaged beyond use, you need new installation before you can open.
What A Grease Trap Installation Accomplishes
You protect the city sewer system from grease clogs. When grease goes down drains, it cools and solidifies in sewer pipes. This creates blockages that can back up sewage into streets and buildings. Your grease trap catches that grease before it causes problems throughout the whole neighborhood.
You avoid expensive fines from the city. Little Rock can fine businesses for operating without proper grease traps or for letting too much grease into the sewer. Installation keeps you compliant and protects your business from these penalties.
Your kitchen drains work properly from day one. Without a grease trap, grease builds up in your own plumbing and causes backups in your kitchen. A properly installed trap prevents this problem before it starts, which means fewer plumbing emergencies once you're open.
You set up your pumping schedule correctly. When we install your trap, we coordinate with grease pumping services so you know how often you need service. Starting with the right size trap and a good maintenance plan prevents problems that shut down your kitchen later.
What to Expect When You Call for Grease Trap Installation
We come out and look at your kitchen plumbing setup. We figure out where the grease trap needs to go and what size meets code requirements for your business. We get the required permits for installation.
We install the grease trap in line with your kitchen drains. All your sinks, dishwashers, and floor drains that handle greasy water run through the trap. The trap catches grease and solids before they can get into the sewer system.
We test the installation to make sure everything drains properly and the trap is working. We explain how to maintain it, as grease traps need regular pumping to keep working. We can set you up on a maintenance schedule if you want. We make sure you understand local regulations about grease trap maintenance and pumping.

Why Local Matters
For Your Plumbing
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 older plumbing prone to mineral buildup 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.
