FOR RESTAURANT AND KITCHEN OWNERS

A full grease trap slows your kitchen down

A trap that is full of grease means slow sinks, odors and a kitchen that cannot keep up. The worst time to find out is the middle of a dinner rush.

Pumping the trap out on a schedule keeps that from becoming your problem.

We pump traps for restaurants and diners, seafood businesses, school and institutional kitchens, and other commercial kitchens around Houma, Thibodaux and Morgan City.

WHAT A PUMP-OUT DOES

What pumping and cleaning your trap means

Grease floats, solids settle, and the trap holds both until someone removes them. Our truck vacuums the grease and solids out of the trap and hauls them away, so the trap has room again.

Pouring grease down the sinks fills a trap faster. Scraping plates and pans first helps between pump-outs.

STATE CODE

What Louisiana's code expects

Louisiana’s state code (Title 51, Part XIV) requires grease traps or interceptors in restaurants and commercial kitchens. It also requires that the grease that collects be removed periodically.

Regular pump-outs are how a kitchen keeps up with that. Your parish or city office can tell you if local rules add anything.

WHO WE PUMP FOR

Kitchens we pump for

One local family company, one phone number, one place to call when it is time.

TWO KINDS OF TRAPS

Outdoor in-ground traps and indoor interceptors

We pump and clean both. Some kitchens have an in-ground trap outside. Others have an interceptor inside, near the sinks.

Not sure which you have? Tell us what you see when you call: a lid in the ground outside, or a unit inside.

REGULAR PUMP-OUTS

Set a regular pump-out schedule

The easiest way to keep a trap from filling up is to pump it before it does. Call (985) 868-6854, tell us how busy the kitchen is, and we will work out a schedule with you.

Already have a full trap? Call anyway and tell us where you are.

Grease trap questions

Why does my restaurant need a grease trap?

Louisiana’s state code (Title 51, Part XIV) requires grease traps or interceptors in restaurants and commercial kitchens, and it requires the collected grease to be removed periodically.

How often should a grease trap be pumped?

It depends on how much cooking your kitchen does and how large the trap is. A busy kitchen fills a trap faster than a small one. Tell us about your kitchen and we will work out a schedule with you.

Do you pump indoor grease interceptors as well as outdoor traps?

Yes. We pump and clean in-ground traps outside and interceptors inside.

Can I set up regular pump-outs?

Yes. Call (985) 868-6854, tell us about the kitchen, and we will set a schedule that fits.

What kinds of businesses do you pump grease traps for?

Restaurants, diners, seafood businesses, school and institutional kitchens, and other commercial kitchens in the Houma, Thibodaux and Morgan City area.

What should I tell you when I call?

Your business name and location, whether the trap is outside in the ground or an interceptor inside, and whether it is full now or you want a regular schedule.
