How do you determine the right cleaning frequency for my specific grease trap, given local regulations, the 25% rule, and my kitchen's volume and menu type?

We log your kitchen's volume, menu type, and local regs so we can plan cleanings before the trap starts to stink and you stop burning money on repeat backups.

Do you service all types of grease traps — under-sink units, large underground interceptors, and outdoor systems?

Yes, we cover under-sink units, underground interceptors, and outdoor vaults so you never have to feel like you're having a hell of a time finding somebody who can actually handle your system.

What does your full-service cleaning actually include beyond just pumping — do you scrape baffles, inspect lines, and check for structural issues?

Full-service means we scrape baffles, inspect the drain lines, check structural issues, flush lines, and document everything so you never feel like they just pumped it and left.

What documentation do you provide after each service for compliance purposes — service logs, disposal manifests, inspection reports?

We hand over service logs, disposal manifests, and inspection reports after every visit so you can show the inspector the proof and avoid surprise citations.

Are you insured, and what is your emergency response policy for after-hours backups or overflows?

We're insured, keep a dispatch team on call, and promise quick windows so you skip costly disruptions when a trap backs up on a Friday night.

Questions to ask before you hire a grease trap company in Detroit

How often does your grease trap actually need cleaning — and how do you know?

Confirm the recommended pump-out cadence is based on trap size, kitchen volume, and local inspection history — not just a generic monthly plan.

Do they service all types — under-sink, underground interceptors, and outdoor systems?

Ask whether they handle interior traps, exterior interceptors, hydro-jetting, and line issues so you know when a second vendor is needed.

What does "full-service" cleaning actually include beyond just pumping?

Full-service cleaning should include scraping baffles, checking inlet/outlet flow, inspecting lids, and documenting more than gallons removed.

What paperwork do they give you for health inspections and compliance?

Manifests, disposal records, and service logs protect you when the inspector asks for proof that waste was handled properly.

Are they insured, and can they handle after-hours backups and overflows?

After-hours overflow response matters when grease smell, backups, or a blocked line could shut down dinner service.

How is the waste disposed of — and are they actually compliant?

Disposal process and insurance tell you whether the waste is going to an approved facility and who is accountable if something goes wrong.
