Grease Trap Installation and Replacement for Commercial Kitchens

Grease traps may not be the most glamorous fixtures in your restaurant, but they play a crucial role in keeping your kitchen running smoothly. Without these unsung heroes, your kitchen drains would be constantly clogged with grease, fats, and oil, which can lead to a host of problems.

Whether you're in need of grease trap installation or replacement, Mr. Rooter Plumbing has your back. We understand the importance of a well-functioning commercial kitchen, and we're here to ensure that your plumbing system stays trouble-free.

What Does a Grease Trap Do?

Grease traps, also known as interceptors, are essential components in commercial kitchens that prevent the accumulation of "FOG" substances, which stands for Fat, Oil, and Grease. These lightweight substances float on top of the water and use a series of baffles to capture and filter them out of wastewater before they can coat the interior of your pipes. Without these devices, your plumbing system could quickly become a smelly, backed-up mess.

At Mr. Rooter Plumbing, we specialize in both grease trap replacement and installation. If your existing grease trap is outdated or malfunctioning, we can provide you with the latest and most efficient models. Our experienced team is punctual and professional, ready to answer your questions and offer a quote before starting any work.
