  • Waste Disposal – All collected material is transported and disposed of at approved facilities, following Los Angeles environmental guidelines.
  • Preventive Recommendations – After cleaning, we offer maintenance tips and schedule reminders to keep your system in top condition.

Our quick-response service means we can address emergencies the same day, reducing downtime and avoiding costly repairs.

Frequently Asked Questions About Grease Trap Cleaning in Los Angeles, CA

1. How often should I have my grease trap cleaned in Los Angeles?
Most restaurants need cleaning every 1–3 months, depending on usage. High-volume kitchens may require monthly service. We can assess your operation and set up a schedule that keeps you compliant with Los Angeles County regulations and avoids surprise inspections issues.

2. What signs mean my grease trap needs attention?
Slow drains, foul odors, water backing up into sinks, or visible grease buildup are clear warnings. Addressing these early can save you from plumbing emergencies and fines.

3. Is professional cleaning really necessary?
Yes. DIY cleaning rarely removes all FOG and often fails to meet LA’s strict disposal laws. Our professional service ensures deep cleaning, proper waste disposal, and full compliance, protecting your business’s plumbing and reputation.

4. What happens if I ignore grease trap maintenance?
You risk blockages, foul odors, health code violations, and potentially having your business temporarily shut down. Over time, neglect can also damage pipes, leading to expensive repairs.

5. Does Los Angeles have specific grease trap laws?
Yes. The city requires proper FOG disposal and regular maintenance, with records kept for inspection. We provide compliance certificates after each service so you have proof on hand.

6. How long does a cleaning service take?
Most jobs take 1–2 hours, depending on trap size and buildup level. Our goal is to work quickly without disrupting your kitchen’s operations.

7. Do you offer emergency grease trap cleaning?
Absolutely. We provide same-day and after-hours service for urgent situations, ensuring minimal impact on your business’s workflow.

8. Can grease trap cleaning improve my plumbing’s lifespan?
Yes. Removing buildup prevents clogs and reduces strain on pipes, pumps, and wastewater systems, helping your plumbing system last longer and work more efficiently.

9. How do you dispose of the waste?
All grease and waste material are transported to certified facilities for proper treatment or recycling, in accordance with Los Angeles environmental regulations.

10. Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Our scheduled maintenance plans keep your traps clean year-round, eliminate the hassle of remembering service dates, and often save you money compared to one-off cleanings.

Grease trap problems don’t have to disrupt your home or business. With GR Plumbing, you get more than just a cleaning service — you get a partner committed to your success. Call us today at (323) 629-8413 or message us online to schedule your service.

    "Would definitely recommend these guys for plumbing jobs."

    He sent out his technician to do the job for me. He removed the nut and the old cartridge, installed the new cartridge and saw that is was leaking, He then spent about 10 minutes cleaning out the calcium deposits in the line so the new cartridge fits snug
