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, fiberglass, 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 potential disruption to your business.

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 compliant with Little Rock health codes and sewer regulations. The city takes grease control seriously because grease clogs are the leading cause of sewer blockages throughout the whole system. A working trap keeps you compliant and protects you from fines.

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 may 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 can save 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.

When you call for grease trap replacement, your old trap is usually failing, too small for your operation, or damaged beyond repair. We come out and look at your current setup.

We check local codes to make sure the replacement meets current requirements. Sometimes codes change and you need a different size or type than what you have now. We get the necessary permits.

We schedule the replacement for a time when your kitchen can be down. We remove the old trap carefully - they're heavy and messy. We install the new trap in the same location unless codes require something different.

We connect everything, test for leaks, and make sure all drains flow through the trap properly. We haul away your old trap and clean up. We explain maintenance requirements for the new trap and can set up a pumping schedule to keep it working right.
