Grease Trap Cleaning & FOG Service for Commercial Kitchens
Grease trap service keeps fats, oils, and grease (FOG) out of your sewer or septic system and keeps your kitchen compliant with local FOG ordinances. TAP Septic pumps and services grease traps and interceptors for restaurants and commercial kitchens across Spokane County and North Idaho on a schedule that fits your volume, and provides the documentation inspectors ask for.

Signs you need grease trap service
- Your trap is on a required cleaning schedule and the date is due
- Slow kitchen drains or odor at floor sinks
- A health or sewer-district inspection is coming up
- Grease is carrying past the trap toward the sewer or septic
- You opened a kitchen and need a service interval established
What's included
Full trap or interceptor pump-out
We fully evacuate the trap or exterior interceptor, not just skim the top, so the trap actually works until the next service.
Scrape and inspect
We scrape walls and baffles and check for damage that lets FOG carry through.
Compliance documentation
You get a dated service manifest you can hand to a health inspector or sewer district.
Right-sized schedule
We set a realistic cleaning interval for your volume so you are not fined for an overdue trap or wasting money on over-servicing.
What to expect
- FOG ordinances vary by jurisdiction. Spokane County and Idaho health districts each have their own intervals and documentation expectations.
- Most kitchens land on a 30, 60, or 90 day interval depending on volume and trap size.
- We can hold a recurring schedule so you never miss a required service date.
- Documentation is part of every visit — missing manifests are a common citation.

Frequently asked questions
How often does a grease trap need to be cleaned?
Most commercial kitchens are on a 30 to 90 day cycle. The right interval depends on trap size, menu, and volume, and is often set by your local FOG ordinance.
Do you provide documentation for inspectors?
Yes. Every service includes a dated manifest you can present to a health inspector or sewer district to prove compliance.
What happens if a grease trap is not maintained?
Grease carries downstream and clogs lines or the septic system, causes backups and odor, and can result in fines under local FOG rules. Scheduled service is far cheaper than the failure.
Can you set up a recurring schedule?
Yes. We hold recurring kitchens on a fixed interval so the trap is serviced before it becomes a problem or a citation.
