Grease Trap Replacement
in Little Rock, AR

Your grease trap smells terrible even right after pumping. All grease traps smell somewhat, but a properly working trap shouldn't stink up your whole kitchen or parking lot. If the smell stays bad after your grease service pumps it out, the trap itself is probably damaged.

Water backs up in your kitchen floor drains or sinks more often than it used to. You might need pumping more frequently, or water doesn't drain at all even when the trap was just emptied. This means the trap's baffles are broken or the whole unit is collapsing inside.

You see grease in the wastewater coming out of your trap. When the pumping service shows you what's flowing out, it should be mostly water with grease trapped separately at the top. If grease is mixed throughout the water, your trap isn't separating properly anymore.

The trap structure itself shows visible damage. Rust holes in metal traps, cracks in concrete or plastic traps, or a lid that's sinking into the ground all mean the trap is failing. Don't wait for it to collapse completely.

Your grease pumping service tells you the trap needs replacing. These companies pump grease traps every day and know when a trap is beyond repair. Listen to them - they're trying to save you from a bigger problem.

The city health inspector or sewer department says your trap isn't working. They test what's flowing out of your trap into the sewer system. If they find too much grease getting through, your trap is failing and needs replacement to avoid fines or losing your business license.

A new grease trap keeps your kitchen drains flowing properly. You won't deal with constant backups, slow drains, or water pooling on your kitchen floor. Your staff can work without plumbing interruptions during busy service times.

You stay legal with Little Rock health codes and sewer regulations. The city takes grease control seriously because grease clogs cause sewer backups throughout the whole system. A working trap keeps you compliant and protects you from fines that can run into thousands of dollars.

Your business avoids shutdowns. The health department can close your kitchen if your grease trap fails inspection. A new trap means you pass inspections and keep serving customers without interruption.

You might reduce how often you need pumping service. Old, worn-out traps lose capacity as baffles corrode and interiors deteriorate. A new trap with proper capacity for your kitchen size can hold more grease between pumpings, which saves you money on pumping fees.

The terrible grease smell improves. While grease traps never smell great, a properly working new trap contains odors much better than a cracked, corroded old one. Your kitchen, dining area, and parking lot won't reek of rotten grease anymore.

Let's talk about water heaters. Most people don't think about them until they stop working. But here in Arkansas, with our humid summers and cold winters, a working water heater isn't just about comfort. It's about your daily life functioning the way it should.

We install all types of water heaters in Little Rock and the surrounding areas. Whether you live in the Heights, West Little Rock, or out near Maumelle, we can get to you. Tank water heaters, tankless systems, gas or electric. We handle them all.

Here's what most people don't know: your water heater probably needs replacing before it completely dies. If your unit is over 10 years old, making weird noises, or taking longer to heat up water, you're on borrowed time. Many people wait until it fails completely, which usually means coming home to water damage or having no hot water for days while waiting for parts.

When we install a new water heater, we don't just swap the old one for a new one. We check your home's setup, talk about your hot water needs (big family? guests often? lots of laundry?), and help you pick the right size. A water heater that's too small means you run out of hot water. One that's too big wastes energy and money every month.

The Hillcrest neighborhood has a lot of older homes with original plumbing. The process for replacing water heaters usually takes about 3-4 hours. Newer homes in Chenal Valley or Maumelle sometimes need different setups, especially if they have specific builder requirements.

If you need a full replacement, a new water heater can usually be installed within 24-48 hours.

Some plumbing problems can wait until Monday morning. Others can't.

A toilet that won't stop overflowing? That's an emergency. A burst pipe spraying water everywhere? You need help now. A backed-up drain flooding your basement? That needs attention right away.

We handle emergency plumbing calls for Little Rock homeowners. We're not available 24/7, but we respond quickly during business hours and can often get to you same-day.

The thing about plumbing emergencies is they always happen at the worst time. Saturday night before you're hosting Sunday brunch. Right before you leave for vacation. Five minutes after you put your kids to bed.

When you call, we'll ask you some questions about what's happening. Sometimes we can walk you through a quick fix to stop the immediate problem until we can get there. Other times, you need to shut off your water right away to prevent damage.

If you've got water spraying everywhere, find your main water shut-off valve. In most Little Rock homes, it's near where the water line comes into your house, often in the basement or on an exterior wall. Turn it clockwise until it stops. That turns off all the water to your house and stops the flooding.

Nobody plans for their toilet to overflow or their drain to back up. But when it happens, you need someone who can get there fast and actually fix it, not just temporarily clear it so it backs up again next month.

We work all over the greater Little Rock area. From the historic homes in Quapaw Quarter to the newer developments in Maumelle and Conway. Each area has its own plumbing quirks.

Older neighborhoods often have galvanized pipes or cast iron that's reaching the end of its life. Newer areas might have builder-grade fixtures that need upgrading. And everywhere in between has water heaters that eventually wear out and drains that eventually clog.

Your plumbing keeps your home running. Hot showers, clean dishes, flushing toilets, washing clothes, all of that depends on everything working right. When something goes wrong, you need someone who can fix it quickly and do it right the first time.

That's what we do. No fancy marketing language. Just reliable plumbing service from people who actually live and work in Little Rock. Give us a call when you need a new water heater installed, when your drains are acting up, or when you've got any plumbing problem that needs fixing.
