Grease Trap Cleaning FAQ

Most restaurant cleanings run $150–$500 depending on trap size. Undersink traps are $100–$250; large outdoor interceptors are $300–$800. Emergency service adds 25–50%.

At least every 90 days by a licensed hauler, per Dallas City Code §19-126.2(c). High-volume kitchens often need monthly service.

Most pump-outs take 30–60 minutes. Large interceptors can take longer. We schedule around your kitchen's slow hours.
