Install, replace, tie-in, and troubleshoot—without the runaround
Grease interceptors only work well when they’re sized correctly and connected correctly. We’ll explain what you need, why you need it, and what to expect before the work starts.
Grease trap and grease interceptor installation
We install grease control equipment to help reduce FOG buildup in your drain system and prevent repeat blockages. We’ll review kitchen flow and connection points to avoid common performance issues. You’ll get an install that supports day-to-day operations, not just “meets the moment.”
Grease trap replacement and tie-ins
If an existing unit is undersized, failing, or poorly connected, we can replace it and correct tie-ins so it performs the way it should. We’ll explain what’s wrong with the current setup and what the updated configuration improves. The goal is fewer backups and easier maintenance.
Grease-related troubleshooting and drain protection
When grease issues keep causing clogs, we help identify whether the problem is the interceptor, downstream buildup, or a restriction elsewhere. We can recommend the right corrective step—cleaning strategy, jetting, or system changes—based on what’s happening. You’ll get a practical fix aimed at preventing repeats.
Do I Need a Grease Interceptor for My Restaurant?
A plain-language answer based on FOG reality
In food service, fats, oils, and grease cool and harden inside pipes, creating buildup that turns into repeat clogs and emergency backups. A properly sized, properly installed grease interceptor helps capture FOG before it becomes a line problem. If you’re dealing with slow drains, repeat grease line clogs, or frequent service calls, grease control is usually part of the long-term solution. We’ll talk through your setup and recommend what makes sense.
We also understand restaurants and franchises where downtime and inspections matter. We’ve worked with major restaurant brands and busy kitchens, and we know the expectations: clear scheduling, clean work, and straightforward communication. If you need documentation or clarity on what’s being installed and why, we can provide a simple explanation you can use with ownership or management. No hype—just a workable plan.
Sizing and Connection Matter More Than People Think
A setup that works in the real world
Grease issues often persist when the unit is undersized, connected incorrectly, or not matched to kitchen volume. We’ll be direct about what your system needs to perform, and what changes will actually reduce backups. If line buildup already exists, we’ll explain whether jetting or line cleaning is needed to “reset” the system after installation. The goal is protection you can count on, not another recurring problem.
Commercial Grease Trap FAQs
Answers for restaurant owners and facility teams
Do I need a grease interceptor for my restaurant?
Many restaurants do, especially if you’re experiencing repeat grease line clogs or slow drains tied to kitchen fixtures. Requirements can vary by situation, so the best approach is to evaluate your kitchen flow and current drainage issues. We’ll explain what a grease interceptor does and why it helps prevent FOG-related blockages. Then you can decide on the most practical next step.
What services do you provide for grease traps?
We handle installation, replacement, tie-ins, and troubleshooting for grease traps and interceptors. If you’re having recurring clogs, we’ll help determine whether the issue is the unit, the connections, or buildup downstream. We’ll also explain what changes will reduce repeat incidents. The focus is reliability and fewer shutdowns.
Why do we keep getting grease-related clogs even with a grease trap?
That can happen when the unit is undersized, improperly connected, or the line already has heavy buildup. It can also be caused by grease getting past the unit and accumulating downstream over time. We’ll help identify where the restriction is forming and whether the solution is correcting the interceptor setup, cleaning the line, or both. The goal is to stop the cycle, not keep clearing the same clog.
Can you replace an existing grease interceptor without disrupting operations too much?
In many cases, yes—planning access and timing is key. We’ll discuss your operating hours, kitchen schedule, and the best window to complete the work with minimal disruption. If a phased approach is needed, we’ll explain what can be done first and what follows. You’ll get clear expectations before anything starts.
How much does grease trap installation cost in Poplar Bluff?
Cost depends on sizing, access, tie-in complexity, and what changes are needed to connect the unit correctly. When you call, we can often provide a realistic range based on the type of facility and the symptoms you’re experiencing. After a site review, we’ll explain options and what drives cost up or down. You’ll have clear numbers before committing.
