How It Works
Our grease trap & line jetting process for Adams Morgan kitchens
Inspect

Scrape solids
Trap interior, baffles, and lid hand-scraped to remove hardened grease that pumping alone misses.
Wash & deodorize
Interior pressure-washed clean and treated. Lid gasket inspected and replaced when worn.
Reseal & test

Manifest & document
Hauler manifest filed (date, gallons, destination) plus a service report for your DC Water / WSSC / county records.

Professional Grease Trap & Line Jetting for Adams Morgan businesses
Adams Morgan grease trap service covers the 18th Street NW late-night bar-and-grill strip, Columbia Road's Salvadoran and Ethiopian high-heat restaurant corridor, and chef-driven independents along Mount Pleasant border. We service Adams Morgan with DC Water-aligned manifests and 60-minute response from Sterling.
Adams Morgan grease trap loads are heavy. 18th Street NW late-night bars with fryers and charbroilers past 2am generate substantial FOG loads requiring 60-day or shorter pumping intervals. Columbia Road Salvadoran pupuserias and Ethiopian injera kitchens with all-day high-heat operations produce rendered-fat byproducts that often need 30–45 day cadences. Foam-blanket noise dampening for 3am–7am residential-adjacent pumping windows.
Local Compliance: DC Water enforces FOG management requirements. Our Adams Morgan manifests are formatted to DC Water expectations on the first submission.
