Professional Grease Trap & Line Jetting for Fairfax businesses
Fairfax City grease trap service covers Old Town Fairfax heritage restaurants, the Fairfax Boulevard commercial corridor, and George Mason University-adjacent dining clusters. We service Fairfax with Fairfax County DPWES-aligned manifests and 40-minute response from Sterling.
Fairfax City restaurants split between three grease trap profiles. Old Town Fairfax heritage buildings around the Fairfax Courthouse have constrained pump-truck access and smaller cellar-mounted traps requiring shorter pumping intervals. Fairfax Boulevard fast-casual and full-service operators run standard exterior traps on 60–90 day cadence. George Mason University-adjacent restaurants swing with the academic calendar, with September–May peak driving accelerated pumping. Fairfax County Department of Public Works and Environmental Services (DPWES) enforces FOG management requirements; our manifests are filed in DPWES's preferred format.

Approximately 40 minutes from our Sterling depot. Most Fairfax emergency calls reach a fully-loaded grease trap truck within the hour.
