Septic tank pumping in Richmond

Your commercial kitchen's grease trap works behind the scenes to capture FOG before it enters municipal systems—but only when it's maintained on schedule. Neglecting routine cleaning leads to overflows, foul odors, slow drainage, and municipal violations that can shut down operations. Thorough removal of grease, solids, and wastewater keeps your kitchen compliant, odor-free, and safely operating day after day.

Major Duke's Services understands the demands of Lexington's restaurant districts, food trucks, school kitchens, and commercial facilities across Central Kentucky. Technicians document conditions inside the trap, check inlet and outlet flow, and ensure the system is functioning properly before reopening the line. The EPA advises that "grease traps should be cleaned when 25 percent of capacity is filled with grease" to prevent blockages—a standard followed meticulously on every job.

You need a service partner who respects your schedule and protects your reputation. With reliable scheduling for routine maintenance and rapid response when traps fill faster during peak seasons, you're covered year-round.

How Richmond Kitchens Benefit from Regular Trap Service

Richmond's growing food service industry depends on consistent grease trap maintenance to avoid disruptions and stay compliant with local health codes. Traps fill faster during high-volume periods—holiday seasons, festival weeks, and summer tourist surges—requiring more frequent service to prevent overflows. Both indoor and outdoor interceptors found throughout the region require tailored approaches based on size, usage, and installation type.

Regular cleaning helps prevent overflows, backups, and municipal violations while extending the life of your plumbing infrastructure. According to the Water Environment Federation, "proactive grease management reduces sewer line blockages by more than 50 percent," protecting both your facility and the broader wastewater system. You'll notice improved drainage, elimination of unpleasant odors, and confidence that your kitchen meets all regulatory standards.

Expertise with both indoor and outdoor interceptors means every job is handled correctly, no matter your facility's configuration. Get in touch today for grease trap cleaning in Richmond and keep your kitchen running smoothly without interruption.
