A full trap sends grease into the sewer, where it hardens and causes backups. Regular service protects your drains and your standing with the city.
What the Service Includes
- Grease trap cleaning Colton kitchens need. Grease and solids are removed from the unit.
- Line jetting. Hydro jetting clears the line out to the sewer.
- Baffle and lid repair. Worn parts are replaced.
- Grease interceptor installation. Traps and interceptors sized for your kitchen.
- Records. Service logs support city checks.
Why Grease Control Matters Here
Colton's wastewater plant also takes flow from Grand Terrace and Rialto through 110 miles of gravity sewer mains. Grease buildup in those mains causes overflows, so food service kitchens are expected to manage it.
- City programs. Fats, oils and grease control rules apply to food service.
- Inspection records. Service logs show you maintain the trap.
- Odors. A full trap smells and attracts pests.
- Drain speed. Clean lines keep dish pits moving.
Service Visit Steps
- Inspect. We check the trap, lid and baffles.
- Clean or pump. Contents are removed and hauled by a licensed hauler.
- Jet the lines. The pipe between the trap and the sewer is cleared.
- Repair parts. Broken baffles and gaskets are replaced.
- Log the work. You receive a record for your files.
Traps and Lines We Handle
Under Sink Traps
Small units near the dish sink, cleaned often because they fill fast.
In Ground Interceptors
Large tanks outside the building that hold more and need pumping.
Grease Line Clogs
Blockages between the kitchen and the trap.
Odor Problems
Smells from full traps, dry traps or sewer gas.
Restaurant grease line jetting keeps the whole path open, not just the trap.
Signs Your Trap Needs Attention
- Slow dish sink drain. Water backs up in the pit even after snaking, which usually means grease has built up beyond the trap itself.
- Foul odor near the kitchen. A rancid smell from floor drains or the trap lid means the unit is full or the water seal has dried out.
- Standing water in floor drains. Water that lingers in the prep area points to a partial grease clog in the line, and it often gets worse after the dinner rush.
- Grease visible in the cleanout. A heavy white or yellow layer at a cleanout shows the line is coating, and jetting is the next step before a full blockage.
Cleaning Schedules
- Under sink traps. Often every few weeks.
- In ground interceptors. Often every one to three months, depending on volume.
- High volume kitchens. More frequent service.
- City schedules. Your permit may set a minimum.

Kitchen Habits That Help
- Scrape plates. Food solids go in the trash, not the sink.
- Wipe pans before washing. Paper towels catch oil first.
- Keep every cleaning date. Missed cycles cost more later.
- Train new staff. One careless week can fill a trap.
- Collect fryer oil separately. Used oil goes to a recycler.
Sizing a New Interceptor
- Fixture count. More sinks and dishwashers mean more flow.
- Menu type. Fried and sauce heavy menus produce more grease.
- Peak volume. Busy kitchens need larger capacity.
- Local rules. The city may set a minimum size.
- Space. Indoors or outdoors, based on layout.
