In a busy kitchen, your grease trap fills faster than you think. When it’s overloaded, it can cause foul odors, slow drains, backups and even health code violations. At Apollo Drain and Septic, we provide reliable grease trap pumping for restaurants, cafeterias, food trucks, hotels, bars and all commercial kitchens across Yuma County and Imperial County.

Our team keeps your kitchen safe, compliant, and running smoothly so you can stay focused on serving your customers. Call (928) 726-1199 to schedule grease trap pumping today.


What Is Grease Trap Pumping?

Grease trap pumping removes the built-up fats, oils, grease (FOG), food particles and solids that accumulate inside your trap. As your kitchen runs, your trap fills up, and without routine pumping, it can no longer separate grease from wastewater.

Professional pumping ensures:

  • Proper flow through your plumbing
  • Reduced odors and contamination
  • Prevention of kitchen backups
  • Compliance with health and environmental regulations
  • A cleaner, safer cooking environment

A pumped trap is a healthy trap, and a healthy trap keeps your kitchen open.


Why Is Regular Grease Trap Pumping Essential?

Grease traps in commercial settings fill up quickly. Ignoring them leads to costly problems, including:

  • Kitchen shutdowns
  • Plumbing blockages
  • Expensive emergency repairs
  • Sewer line damage
  • Failed health inspections
  • Fines for non-compliance

Routine pumping protects the entire plumbing system and keeps your business operating without unwanted interruptions.


Our Grease Trap Pumping Process

Apollo uses high-capacity equipment and trained technicians to deliver thorough, efficient pumping with minimal downtime.

Here’s how we do it:

Access the Trap: We safely remove lids and assess the trap’s condition.

Pump Out All Grease & Solids: Using commercial-grade vacuum equipment, we remove all contents, not just surface fats.

Scrape & Clear Residue: We remove hardened buildup from walls and baffles to restore proper function.

Clean & Rinse Interior Surfaces: A cleaner trap reduces odors and improves separation efficiency.

Inspect for Problems: We check for damaged baffles, blockages, corrosion or flow issues.

Proper Waste Disposal: All grease is safely transported and disposed of according to regulations.

Fast, clean, compliant: that’s the Apollo standard.


Compliance You Can Count On

Health departments and environmental agencies require restaurants to maintain clean and properly functioning grease traps. Apollo keeps your kitchen inspection-ready with:

  • Documentation for compliance
  • Proper grease disposal records
  • Service schedules aligned with local requirements
  • Technicians trained in regulatory standards

You run the kitchen, and we’ll handle the regulations.


How Often Does A Grease Trap Need To Be Pumped?

Service frequency depends on your trap size and kitchen volume, but most commercial establishments should pump:

  • Every 30 days for high-volume restaurants or fry-heavy menus
  • Every 60-90 days for moderate-volume kitchens
  • Every 90-120 days for smaller or low-grease operations

If you notice odors, slow drains or faster-than-normal filling, your trap may need more frequent service.

Apollo can assess your kitchen and recommend a schedule that keeps you compliant and protected.
