Pureflow Grease Services keeps your restaurant's grease traps and interceptors flowing — scheduled, documented, and inspection-ready. So you can focus on the kitchen, not the plumbing.
Grease traps and interceptors exist for one reason: to keep FOG — fats, oils, and grease — out of the municipal sewer line and away from the wastewater treatment plant. When they work, nobody notices. When they don't, the consequences show up as odors, slow drains, backups, regulatory inspections, and fines.
Properly trained and certified technicians — on a regularly-scheduled basis — are what keep that from happening. That's the entire job.
Schedule service →Fats, oils, and grease are less dense than water, so they float to the top of the trap and accumulate. Solid particles are denser, so they sink. Over time, both layers thicken. The trap's effective volume shrinks. Flow slows. Then one night during dinner service, it backs up.
Municipal sewer authorities can inspect any commercial kitchen at any time. If your trap exceeds the FOG and solids limits, you receive a violation — often with a fine attached, sometimes with a shutdown order. We keep your FOG and solid levels within compliance so an inspector visit is a non-event.
An un-serviced trap is a biological reactor. Anaerobic decomposition produces hydrogen sulfide and sulfur compounds that travel back through drain lines and into the kitchen — and from there, into the dining room. Regular pumping eliminates the source before guests notice.
A grease trap or interceptor sits between floor drains, sink drains, dishwashers, or any wastewater source and the municipal waste line. Its job is to remove or "trap" the FOG in the first compartment and let clean water continue to the treatment facility. The principle is simple — density separation — but only works if the trap is pumped on schedule.
Pureflow Grease Services provides a free consultation and quote for both one-time and recurring service. Recurring schedules are built around your restaurant's specific needs — not a default calendar.
On the scheduled day, a trained and certified technician pumps your trap, provides service documentation, and captures before and after photos for your records. If an inspector is required at the time of pumping, we schedule them with their office.
We assess your kitchen — trap size, daily volume, menu profile — and recommend a service interval that keeps you compliant without over-servicing. Quote is itemized, no obligation.
A certified technician arrives within the agreed window, locates and accesses the trap or interceptor, and stages equipment. We work around your service hours — before open, after close, or during a planned lull.
Complete evacuation of FOG layer, water, and solids. Interior walls scraped and rinsed. Baffles checked. The trap is returned to operating condition — not just pumped, but cleaned.
Before and after photos, service log, volume pumped, and next-service recommendation — all delivered to your records. Built to hand to an inspector without follow-up questions.

Every technician on site is trained and certified for commercial kitchen FOG handling. Not a subcontractor, not a temp — our crew, our standards.
Your service interval is set by your kitchen's actual FOG output — measured, not guessed. 30, 60, or 90-day cycles, adjusted as your menu or volume shifts.
Every service visit includes before and after photographs, a service log, and volume pumped. Hand it straight to your inspector — no follow-up calls needed.
We work before open, after close, or during a planned lull. Not during Friday dinner rush. Your service window is yours — we hit it.
If a city inspector is required at the time of pumping, we schedule them directly with their office. You don't manage the phone tree — we do.
