How It Works
Our grease trap & line jetting process for U Street 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
Lid resealed, water flow tested, and inlet/outlet baffles confirmed in place and undamaged.
Manifest & document
Hauler manifest filed (date, gallons, destination) plus a service report for your DC Water / WSSC / county records.
