Grease Trap Installation & Cleaning in Los Angeles
Keep Your Commercial Kitchen Code-Compliant
Restaurants, cafes, and commercial kitchens across Los Angeles are required to maintain functioning grease interceptors to keep fats, oils, and grease out of the municipal sewer system. Reyes Plumbing Los Angeles LLC installs new grease traps sized correctly for your kitchen's flow rate and provides scheduled cleaning service that keeps your business compliant with LA County Sanitation District requirements.
An undersized or poorly maintained grease trap is one of the most common causes of commercial kitchen plumbing emergencies — backed-up floor drains, foul odors, and even health department violations. Our technicians handle both under-sink interceptors for smaller establishments and larger in-ground grease traps for full-service restaurants, and we can set up a recurring cleaning schedule so you never have to think about compliance deadlines again.
Every cleaning includes a full pump-out, inspection of inlet and outlet baffles, and a written manifest documenting proper waste disposal, which you'll need on hand for health inspections. If your existing trap has reached the end of its service life or your kitchen has expanded beyond its original capacity, we handle full replacement and can advise on sizing based on your current permit requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often does a grease trap need cleaning?
Most commercial kitchens require pump-outs every 1 to 3 months depending on volume, though high-volume restaurants may need monthly service.
What happens if I skip a scheduled cleaning?
An overfilled grease trap can back up floor drains, cause odors, and result in fines from the local sanitation district during inspection.
Can you install a new grease trap during a kitchen remodel?
Yes, we coordinate directly with contractors and can size and install a new interceptor as part of any kitchen renovation project.
