How It Works
Our grease trap & line jetting process for Dupont Circle kitchens
Inspect
Trap evaluated for capacity, condition, and pumping cadence per local water authority requirements.
Pump out
Full pump-out by a licensed waste transporter — no partial pumps that leave solids behind.
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 Dupont Circle businesses
Dupont Circle grease trap service covers embassy-area fine dining in heritage federal townhouses, the 17th Street NW LGBTQ+ nightlife corridor, and the Connecticut Avenue NW chef-driven cluster. We service Dupont with DC Water-aligned manifests and 55-minute response from Sterling.
Dupont's heritage federal-townhouse restaurants have cellar-mounted traps with constrained pump-truck access — narrow alleys, basement-level pumping, and historic-district restrictions on visible exterior equipment. Our Dupont protocol handles these conditions. 17th Street NW nightlife bars need 3am–7am pumping windows. Embassy Row restaurants occasionally require diplomatic-protocol coordination.
Local Compliance: DC Water enforces FOG management requirements. Our Dupont Circle manifests are formatted to DC Water expectations on the first submission.
